Hedir Review : Let's do something useful here

Let's use Hedir to decide the best web hosting company

How to judge? We will use the openmic for the selection criteria.

Please help me improve the document. I will also put my thoughts after sometime. It is a tough job to get one web hosting company with a good customer service. Our current hosting company is very good at that and I will like to share my experience with the whole community. I am sure we all have some good and bad experiences with the hosting companies.

Let's make the category the best in the world.

Thanks,
Norah

There are already some sites in the queue, we will be reviewing those sites. http://www.hedir.com/web-hosting.html (click on the "more sites on review list")

I will be adding few more. Please add more and more hosting company sites. We will work this whole month on it and will try to get the best ones.

Thats interesting, hedir is becoming more and more useful. I think I can post this to other forums.

Btw can we limit ourself to Linux based hosting?

For those who are new to hedir , here is the guide

But do a complete scrutiny as Hedir should not just look at the site but the overall service. I have mailed the hosting company to find out their response time. Checking their business it detail to get the best resources.

People if we can take this challenge and find out the best hosting companies then we can say that Hedir is on right track to challenge the bigger Directories and Search Engines.

I am ready to take up the challenge. The most important factor is the guideline, we will have to improve the document started by Norah.

Hi Baggeroli

See this website http://www.bluehost.com

I think its a better one. I have seen their details - looks promising. Even their support system is cool enough.

Still to be very sure i would like to ask few things.

Why limit to unix? I use windows and am currently thinking of moving to new servers. Wink

We need to organize such threads so that people can easily find them for reference. Any suggestions on how to do that ?

You should contest the charge with the credit card company. May not really be worth the effort for a few bucks, but it also puts a stain on their record with the company. Enough chargebacks can cost them thier account.

This isn't just a vindictive move, this also helps shut down or change the problem companies. Smile

Add a new section so we can put each host in it's own thread, that way if you have a question or experience with a host it's easy to find.

Encourage, polls so you can check at a glance whether most people have had good or bad experiences.

Also would be good to encourage the host to reply to negative experiences, Problems happen, but if the host has a good attitude in responce they might be worth trying.
