Sharing our own web hosting experiences
This web site was born out of the personal efforts of a few individuals who wanted to find a solid and reliable hosting plan for our own retail web sites. In the process literally hundreds of web hosting plans were examined, hosts contacted, and many sites actually built using a number of web hosts. What we found was a widely differing range of costs, services, and help levels. Eventually, realizing this experience might be helpful to others we decided to create a web hosting directory.

To broaden the knowledge base, we enlisted the help of other web professionals from various hosting arenas, and began to seek input from as many actual web host users as possible. The result is Web-Hosting-Ratings.com. Since the web Hosting industry is constantly changing, so is our site content. A host which may be highly rated today, may be on our "deadbeat" list tomorrow. That is why we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our information and of course, can in no way warrant the actual service you may receive from a given host. We can only offer our opinions based on our experiences and those of our reviewers. We hope that this information is helpful to you as you make your own web hosting decisions. We'd like to hear from you, and gratefully acknowledge the many individual web site owners who constantly contact us with updates on their web hosts, keeping us abreast of changes in the industry.

We're a small company, staffed by a capable management team and assisted by an editorial board bringing experience from several distinctly different areas. Our tech guy has worked for one of the largest web presences in the world and was instrumental in founding a successful web hosting service which eventually grew to serve over 50,000 web clients.

Our company president learned the web business from the ground floor by turning a local brick-and-mortar retail store into a key player in online merchandising -- in the process becoming a web guru. Our research editor researched hundreds of hosting plans for his own web site, before deciding to share his knowledge with others in the form of this web hosting ratings and review site. Other staffers contribute writing and internet researching expertise to the overall goal of presenting the most concise information in an easy-to-read format.

But most importantly, every person on our staff has been a webmaster, just like you. The internet is a wonderful knowlege base open to the entire world. We hope what you find here will help you open your own door to that world. Let us know what you find.
