West Host Review (Initial)

Please Note: Initial reviews are for web host companies I either haven’t tested yet, but am preparing to begin testing; or for companies where testing has already begun, but I haven’t gotten enough data to feel comfortable enough to write a final review.

On Other Reviews:

Before I get into the review proper, I’d like to point [...]

GoDaddy Reseller Trial Closed (sort of)

Update as of 9/15/10: GoDaddy, since finishing their grid beta, is a terrible place to host your site. If you want to sell garbage to strangers, you might consider this program, but I can’t in good conscience continue testing the reseller program.

Okay, so you may have followed my trial of GoDaddy’s reseller product, as [...]

POWWeb Trial End: Final Review

Life is harsh, and so am I when you take people’s money and provide garbage in return.

I have just completed my one-year trial of POW Web. The trial included purchasing domains and running three sites on my account, two of which ran on the blog platform wordpress. The busiest site, one of the blogs, ran cron [...]

Pronet Hosting Review

Until the end of July 2009, Pronet Hosting is offering a pretty amazing deal.  If you click the banner above, you can get a full year of hosting for $4.95.

Consider this a preliminary review.  I’ve only been with Pronet Hosting for about a week, as of July 19, 2009, so this review may be subject to [...]

GoDaddy Reseller Review

I never really expected to run this test, but from looking at my statistics, there are a lot of people interested in becoming resellers. I’m not one of them, but as I looked over the reseller program at GoDaddy, I decided that it was worth a good look. For one thing, I could do it for $199, which is a solid price for such a thing, and also it is very easy to use, so it won’t take up too much of my already strained time. [...]

Netfirms Review

Overview: Netfirms is a shared and grid website hosting company. I hang out with site owners all the time and no company has as wide a range of opinions about them as netfirms. From “the last and only host you’ll ever need” to “the most oversold host on the Internet,” the spectrum of opinions is wide and contradictory. The reality, of course, is somewhere in between and is based upon user expectations going in. Netfirms is not a super-fast grid host. The reality is that Netfirms is actually a good, mid-power choice. [...]

Ultrahosting Review

Overview: Outgrown your shared hosting?  Is it time to go with VPS or dedicated managed hosting?  You sound like you may want to take a look at UltraHosting because that is all they do, and they do it well.  Not only that, but they set the bar for graduated scalability and pricing.

Rarely do I do reviews where [...]

Host Papa Review

Host Papa is a shared host with a single hosting plan, as many companies have gone to these days. Host Papa really does most everything well, but one of the things that really distinguishes it from other hosting companies is that they have gone 100% green. [...]
