I think it’s fairly true to say that there is no such thing as a completely unbiased web host review. The reason is simple : we’re all human and we ‘feel’ for certain things or brands more than others. It’s completely natural behavior and that’s ok. However, the internet has given birth to a formidable breed of salesmen. They’re kinda like the Transformers : one minute a review expert and the next, wow, a salesman. Sadly, they don’t all ‘Roll Out’.

Top 10 signs that a web hosting review site is a salesman in disguise (and why this is bs) :

1. Can’t find any actual reviews, only links to web hosts. (why is that host any good again?)
2. Reviews are too short and incomplete. (how can he say it’s any good?)
3. Reviewed hosts only have pros, no cons. (come on, nothing is perfect, we all know that)
4. Reviewer overly glorifies the 99.99% uptime guarantee. (every host offers that and if you read the fine prints, you’ll see it shouldn’t be a factor in your choice)
5. Reviewed plans are not up to date. (plans and prices change often, noticed?)
6. Reviewed hosts are said to be voted by users but you can’t find where to vote. (ah… ghost voters right?)
7. Ratings are given to web hosts but no explanations of how they are calculated. (how are the hosts rated?)
8. Reviews are actually sales pitch taken from the hosts websites. (you call that a review?)
9. Information about web hosts is incorrect. Example : ‘this web host has been around for years’, when a web host is actually a new comer. (questionable credibility)
10. Reviews are only price comparisons. (price truly doesn’t say everything)
