Web Hosting

Millions of searches are done online by unsuspecting people looking for the best web hosting companies to host their personal or business websites. You can compare for ages on factors like pricing, disk space, bandwidth, connectivity, uptime and customer service, hardware features and 50 other variables. It all adds up to a complicated equation.

Well, you can actually choose a good and reliable web host provider based on just one number – a number that you can predict forever with near certainty. What’s more, you are guaranteed to save plenty of money, time and headache.

This simple number will trump the all the reviews, marketing messages, promotions and advertising galore that are thrown at you from all direction. Forget about them because what you often get is just half the story.

You can confidently choose a top web hosting service based on the good, old-fashioned growth number of their domains hosted, customer trend. A customer trend number is not about what most of these companies like you to believe. That they have experience or the expertise to serve millions if not hundreds of thousand of customers as claimed on their site.

The customer trend number, is a number that tells you exactly how many domains they are hosting on any given week, and if this number is going up or down. These numbers do not lie, when you see a declining trend, almost 99.99% of the time, you will find that something has gone seriously wrong.

Based on this customer trend number, you can further classify the companies into 3 different groups. First group has a healthy customer base number of more than 200,000 and they are constantly growing. These companies are highly recommended and they will almost always score high on features, pricing, customer service and connectivity.

The second group of web hosts are what I termed as neutral providers, they might be enjoying a healthy growth in their customer base but their base number is still relatively small (under 200k) and they are probably a very new set-up. Or they could haven been recovering from a downward trend.

Finally, you want to avoid the third of web hosting sites at all cost. They are experiencing a decline in their customer base consecutively for almost 6 weeks in a row.

If you think this is too overly simplified, well I agree, choosing a good web host should not be that complicated, why rely on what a web hosting companies tell you or worse still what their sales representatives are telling you when you can simply check up on their customer trend number to discover the truth for yourself.
