Compare web hosts

I compare features and prices of any product that I am buying and recommend the same for directory owners thinking of switching to a new cheap host. You can host a relatively new directory in a shared hosting environment but for any established directory that gets 500 or more visits per day my recommendation will be to use a VPS. A dedicated host would be an overkill unless you are planning to host a directory network.

You should compare and read web hosting reviews from an authentic and unbiased source. You need to ask yourself if you want to host other sites on this hosting. What kind of data transfer requirements would your directory and site will have? Do you want to pay extra for some features that you are never going to use?

A directory dedicated to web hosting

Now that I am talking about finding a good hosting provider how can I not mention a web hosting directory. I am not going to review the directory in detail because they provide editorial content and I don’t see a submission option. Nevertheless it has all the details for comparing diffeferent type of web hosts.

Do keep in mind that configuring redirect rules and SEO friendly URLs won’t be all the easy on IIS though it’s a breeze with Apache. Do let me know if you know more web hosting directories.
