WEB HOSTING REVIEWS
To find unbiased opinions about various hosts is becoming overwhelmingly complex these days mainly because there are hundreds of web hosting directories and all of these so-called web hosting guides claim to be experts in the field, this is exactly where WHL hosting directory comes into play. You might ask what separates us from the numerous other directories claiming to be the ultimate in the field? Because the superiority of our hosting directory over other web services acting as hosting guides is justified by two primary reasons. The first reason is that hosting opinion, ratings and subsequent listing of a hosting provider is not carried out unless a hosting analysis procedure is conducted which derives accurate information by performing a thorough analysis on a lower threshold value of 500 customers opinions. Where does this data come from? The data is provided to us by our alliances from a wide-spread network of enterprises who carry out large-scale surveys to gather web hosting reviews of the clients who have expressed their web hosting reviews about different providers. The web hosting reviews data is updated regularly by our partners and consequently acts as a highly accurate information source for us. After this starts the real data mining phase of the reviews data in which it undergoes a rigorous analysis by our expert hosting staff which carefully scrutinizes each and every single aspect of customers hosting comments before arriving at any conclusion about the reviews and subsequent ranking of each host. Secondly, we also continue to receive additional feedback comprising web hosting reviews by our visitors who actually sign up with any provider from our website thereby sharing with us their hosting experience with the provider. This further confirms the information present with us about the image of the provider plus the web hosting reviews also serve to provide further information about the various functionalities inferred from the hosting reviews data such as client care services offered by the web hosting provider thereby becoming yet another crucial repository of information for us to revise the rankings as well as the reviews of the hosting providers listed on our site. This is a source of much satisfaction for our visitors as it guarantees them the highest level of accuracy of the hosting opinions about the different providers and they can browse our site to read our web hosting reviews with the peace of mind that there is a provider specifically suited to their personal web hosting requirements. The price per month mentioned against web hosting reviews of each hosting provider is for a 1 year contract for the most popular hosting package offered by that specific web hosting provider. The price per month will decrease if there is an option to sign up for a longer contract such as for a time span of two years offered by the hosting provider.

Reading Host Information & Deciding
|
After reading our opinion of any top web host, you are very likely to make an informed decision. However there are still a few points that are worth mentioning here. The first thing you should look for in a particular provider is if the features offered by the provider satisfy your requirements. This cannot be overstressed. For example, if you are a beginner looking for a host for your personal website, then your only concern about reviews (listed in our host reviews section) is that you get sufficient storage space for your website with a cheap web hosting provider offering low cost hosting solutions in the range of $5 per month or even cheaper than this. This also holds true for small businesses looking for small business tools and services. However, if you are a developer, an online entrepreneur or an online business looking for shopping cart capabilities or advanced scripting technologies, then the optimum choice for you would be either a virtual, dedicated or managed host as per your requirements respectively and so you should read corresponding web hosting reviews. Similarly, the best option for multinational businesses would be to look for a dedicated or managed provider by reading reviews of web hosting providers which can satisfy the huge requirements for their online business. So to cut it short: do not go blindly with a provider ranked among the top 10 hosts, but instead do some homework to find out what your requirements are. From the point of view of quality of top 20 hosts, all of them are top-notch and that is why the ranks of these hosting providers keep changing quarterly, monthly or sometimes even bi-monthly.

Step-by-step Navigation Through Our Website
|
For the convenience of our website visitors, we have also placed the different hosts listed on our site into the categories displayed in the right hand pane. These categories are a very handy way to locate hosts of different types. In contrast to the bulk of directories on the internet, we have chosen to split the hosts into only the major categories such as reseller, coldfusion, adult, managed, vps, windows, asp, colocation, linux, frontpage, cheap, shared, dedicated, premier, ecommerce and regional hosts. In addition to these, we have added the category of domain registration so that people who do not want to host their websites right now but instead just want to grab a suitable web hosting domain name for later use can do the same using this category to make sure the web hosting domain name will not be grabbed by someone else before they have prepared the content for their website. In fact, this could be the starting point for many people who are thinking about launching an online business but either do not currently have suitable content for their website or are thinking about harnessing the services of a professional website designer. The next step after the website has been designed and appropriate website content has also been written for it is to look for reviews of a host that can support the functionality included in the website. This choice can be made either by your website designer (you can instead also get the specifications of the ideal host from your designer and then search for it in a directory just like ours) or by yourself if you are experienced enough to make an informed decision. After you have hosted your website with a suitable hosting provider by reading its reviews, you need to promote it aggressively by getting valuable inbound links to your site by offering unique content, by hosting your articles on free article directories on the internet, by submitting your site to big web hosting directories like DMOZ, Yahoo and by optimizing on-site factors such as keyword density etc. This is where you should resort to our webmaster services section in order to find suitable supplementary services for your website.

Directory of Useful Resources
|
If you did not have success locating pertinent information or services in the remainder of the website, then the resources directory is most likely what you should be visiting as a final resort. This directory contains links to various resources and providers who have established partnerships with WHL because of the similarity of reviews services offered by them and so these web hosting providers might spark your interest also. For hasslefree browsing of web hosting providers and easy access to information, the sites have been listed within the different categories displayed below. Host directories are websites that offer comparisons and ratings of hosts or simply list them. The domain registration market is full of providers charging different amounts to customers in order to register domains. Similar to web hosting providers, there are free as well as paid website design and template providers and reviews on the internet. Lastly, website promotion services are also offered by dedicated providers as well as included as part of some web hosting providers packages and can also be divided into sites offering reviews of programs and gadgets for online website promotion and in contrast to reviews providers those charging money for the services they handle themselves.
Disclaimer:
Despite the fact that a great majority of websites listed in the web hosting resources directory are high quality and the probability of the visitor finding relevant information is quite high, however we cannot and do not endorse the content of the sites listed in the resource section simply because we have not tried them or even studied them. Therefore only you yourselves are responsible for arriving at any conclusions about trying these services. Clicking any link on the pages of the resource section will open a new window outside of our website.
