In a few months, my web hosting subscription will be expiring. As early as now, I am trying to figure out whether I should switch hosts or not. I’ve been browsing online and reading a lot of reviews in my quest to find the best web hosting I could get.

Good thing I found a good site that reviews and rates the different web hosting services available. I don’t have to browse through each site of web hosting provider because they have compiled the features, as well as bonus features, for each of them. Each site gets a Host Rating that lets you see quickly which is the best based on the reviews.

What I love most is that they have categories for their ‘best’. Best is relative for each person but subjectiveness is minimized with their categories like ‘Best Budget Hosting’, ‘Best Multiply Domain Hosting’, ‘Best PHP Hosting’, ‘Best Unix Hosting’, ‘Best Forum Hosting’, and many more. These categories help visitors look at the best hosting based on a specific feature they are looking for.

They also differentiate between Webmaster Reviews, Customer Reviews, and RealMetrics Reviews. For those who don’t know much about web hosting, their resources on website hosting will be very helpful. They have articles on their web hosting blog like Web Hosting Guide, Finding the Best Web Hosting Service, and Which Web Hosting is Right For You.

It’s a relief for me to find my current webhost among the top 5 of 2009 Best Web Hosts. Browsing the list though, I noticed a cheaper one which ranked higher so I have to check it out.
