Use Free Forum Polls To Research & Find Out About Hosts
By Summer Hosting | March 6, 2008
Good research helps you make better decisions. Thankfully the amount of webmaster forums means you can research all aspects of webmastering relatively quickly and completely free. Research about host providers is important because you don’t want to establish your website on a poor hosting account.
If you are looking to change your hosting provider or are setting up a new website and are finding hosting for the first time then getting opinions on hosting providers can help you make your mind up. The best way to do this is to visit your favorite webmaster forums and start a new thread with a poll attached. Something like “Please rate your experience at HostGator out of 10″ (or whoever you are thinking of using), then just let members that use the provider give a rating and see what posts they leave on the thread.
You could do this for different hosting providers, within a couple of days you should have gained the info you need at zero cost!
