Around a decade back or so, there were only a few websites that provided any kind of information or reviews of the various existing web hosting companies. The industry was still in a very nascent stage, and most of the big firms hadn’t even started.

The few web hosting reviews sites that existed displayed information of those hosts that they had a commission based tie up with. As such, the true picture wasn’t being presented to the internet visitors of the review sites, because of their fake reviews. A few hosting firms even had their own review sites set up in order to promote themselves.

However as the demand for the particular service of web hosting grew, a number of web host review websites mushroomed up. However, even with these review sites, there wasn’t still a single website set up online as a web hosting directory. And the rookie review sites were not willing to accept outside reviews from the customers. Thus there was still a question of credibility.

However of late a number of websites have come up who do not think twice before publishing a really bad review of any of the top web hosting companies. Also customer reviews are given due importance these days. Thus the reality is much clearly visible now than to the earlier period.

But then with the increasing number of web hosting review sites, there is also the question of which to trust and which ones to avoid. For the reviews after all help you pick the right web hosting company for your website. A few of the tools that can used for the purpose are: Check out on their Google page rank. A good review site must atleast have a PR 5. Check on the experience of the review site and how old its domain name is. Look for any affiliate links. And lastly, look for any bad reviews. This is because there is no company as of yet which has been able to satisfy each and every customer of theirs. Thus there is bound to be a bad review from someone. And if there isn’t, then the review website is perhaps fake.

Thus we have seen that review sites that started out as a business in itself looking to make just profits has moved on to fulfill the requirements of the customers in a much satisfactory manner. But then even now, almost 90% of the hosting review websites still present a fake picture on the best hosting companies. Thus what they show is only the better reviews ignoring the bad ones and even those written by the consumers which actually are the reality. Thus it is necessary to base your hosting company pick only on the recommendations of a good review site, avoiding the fake ones.
