20/02/2008 (www.ISPreview.co.uk) – ISPreview (ISPr) has today announced the expansion of its coverage to include ‘Website Hosting Providers’ with the launch of Host-Review (www.Host-Review.co.uk). The site includes news from the hosting industry, discussion forums, a vast list of hosting providers and packages, reader reviews, monthly surveys (polls), a jargon buster service to help people understand common terms and much more.
“It’s an incredibly confusing market out there,” says Mark Jackson, Host-Review.co.uk’s senior editor. “The rising tide of Internet access has perked people’s interest towards starting their own websites, often initially doing so through a domestic Internet Service Provider (ISP).”
Mark continues, “The problem is that most ISPs only offer basic hosting features, frequently excluding services such as SQL databases, popular web programming languages and even domains, which can hinder future development. This is where choosing a company dedicated to hosting will make all the difference; especially if you’re running a business. Having hosting separate from your Internet access can also be a good thing as it will be one less thing to prevent you switching ISP.”
Unfortunately the market is awash with just as many hosting providers as there are Internet access providers, thus it can be incredibly tedious trying to locate the right service for your needs. Host-Review.co.uk aims to solve that by helping people to make a more informed choice.
Unlike some similar sites, Host-Review.co.uk is independent, listing all UK hosting providers without prejudice, from shared hosting to dedicated servers.
