Think your host rocks because all of the hosting review sites say they do? Think again. As you may have read in our post on March 22, most of these sites, along with sites that list hosting for certain CMS, are bought and paid for by affiliate marketing schemes. As you may have noticed, WHB would rather put our money into more servers, support, and better server admins, but hey, that’s just us.
BlueHost is regarded by many of these sites as a premiere hosting service. Both BlueHost and HostMonster are put ahead of others in hosting reviews quite frequently. But as you can see from this post on inetintegrity, many of these review sites are hosted on BlueHost’s servers by some guy named Matthew Heaton. The reviews are written as if they were created by an unbiased third party, but in reality they appear to be written by Heaton and associates. What a very dismal job that must be.
The author of this article goes on to share his or her less than stellar experience at BlueHost, which was plagued by frequent downtime and email problems. Sigh.
We at WebHostingBuzz would rather put our money into keeping your site up instead of paying guys like Matthew Heaton. If you appreciate this, please log into Facebook and become a WHB fan.
Many thanks to inetintegrity for bringing this to our attention.
