How To Write Hosting Reviews

A good number of the web savvy users will have had or will be using at the present time, a hosting company. Whether that company provided website hosting, dedicated servers or virtual servers. Those experiences range from the awful to the brilliant. The high street stores can learn a few tricks from the hosting companies that do provide true 24/7 support for very low prices. Although some of these companies can also be terrible at best.

When writing web hosting reviews you need to remain fair. Simply because you are going to be in a particularly bad mood with them and instead of considering the companies good points, you will entirely focus on the bad points. Even if you aren’t angry, do try and think of what the hosting company has done right. Everyone thinks that only bad things are said about companies and the good companies never mentioned and this is correct. So if one of these hosting companies have been good with you, then you should give them the credit due. Any company you review will have directors and staff who will work very hard and will see the effects of poor reviews. You should only write bad hosting reviews if it is truly just.Your review should be balanced and consistent. Bear in mind its when things go wrong that show how good a hosting company is. Far too often customers jump down their hosting provider’s throat because of a little bit of downtime. What they perhaps do not consider is on a five pound a month shared web hosting package, it is near impossible to have 100% up time. Providers face all sorts of points of potential failure when providing hosting. So if your hosting company had problems, how did they deal with them? Communication is the key- did they keep you updated? Have they outlined how they will be trying to avoid the situation occurring in the future? Are you getting value for money? Most web hosting packages cost less than a pint of lager, so think how far that value goes! So it may be unfair to criticise your provider if they do respond to issues in the early hours. They are probably therefore worthy of praise. A bad review might however be on the cards for a business provider you are spending thousands with per month, who takes ages to respond to support requests. Where is the best place to write a review? These days many hosting companies have their own forums to post reviews. Other forums are dedicated to accepting hosting reviews. You might be wary of posting on actual providers forums as depending on the provider they can sometimes delete the hosting review.
