HostingAdvice.comReviews of hostingadvice.com

HostingAdvice is just a marketing front end for sleazy companies. They rate HostPapa as an excellent domain hosting site but I had a simple photo website with at most 100-200 meg of traffic per month. All was good for many years, then suddenly I receive nasty grams that I'm using too much resources. When a hosting company tries this scam, I just shut down my site and see if it is a scam. Sure enough, Hostpapa kept sending the nastygrams that I had to upgrade due to the massive traffic on my site (which wasn't even up). Pure sleaze! Obviously HostingAdvice.com is as well.

I've seen hosts complain about trustpilot.com for reviews, and to be sure there are some fake ones here, after all you can buy a review here for $6. But, hostingadvice.com is no better in that as consumer of hosting services, I have 100+ hosting accounts, I found that hostingadvice would not take/list my review of one of their providers. This was even though I documented my experience with screenshots. Also, if you go through the hosts listed there and check the price of hosting many times it is lot more at the hosts than listed on the hosting advice website. So dishonest advertising too.

DON'T BELIEVE A WORD!!! This site is clearly not an objective review site but a paid platform posing as an objective one. Just to reiterate the fine print... "Advertiser Disclosure: HostingAdvice.com is a free online resource that offers valuable content and comparison services to users. To keep this resource 100% free for users, we receive advertising compensation from the hosts listed on this page. Along with key review factors, this compensation may impact how and where hosts appear on the page (including, for example, the order in which they appear).

Complete sham - and they admit as much!! Buy the review you want, crazy! HostingAdvice.com is a free online resource that offers valuable content and comparison services to users. To keep this resource 100% free for users, we receive advertising compensation from the hosts listed on this page. >>>>> Along with key review factors <<<<<, this compensation may impact how and where hosts appear on the page (including, for example, the order in which they appear). HostingAdvice.com does not include listings for all web hosts.

They rank all shady hosting provider higher than reasonable hosting providers. Hostgator.com at 4.5 ? GTFOH

Scam site that ranks nearly for every web hosting review terms and host versus host search in google with falsified reviews and hidden complains that no one is talking about. I found small blogs have better quality reviews, but surely, hosting advice is not honest and I don't know why Google ranks the well like that. A big?

Fraud website. I couldn't understand how they were reviewing some providers so high, then I read their advertising disclaimer: "... we receive advertising compensation from the hosts listed on this page. Along with key review factors, this compensation may impact how and where hosts appear on the page (including, for example, the order in which they appear)...."

HostingAdvice.com is a total fraud. For example they rate Ehost with a 5.01 (out of 5) Average score. Which is impressive as they only rate the pricing 5 out of 5 and the rest under 5, but the average is still 5. Ehost is not a good hosting company at all but they DO pay $110 per customer as an affiliate. Which is one, if not the, highest payouts available. They have disclosures on their website saying the top lists are sponsored and their reviews are influenced by the affiliate deals they have with the hosting companies. This is why they are pushing high payout affiliate deal hosting companies. Their reviews are 100% biased and misleading to consumers. Sadly it are usually the low quality hosting companies that offer the highest affiliate payouts. If that wasn't bad enough, they seem to be cherry picking (and editing without informing) data from reviewsignal. Total scam. Sure they say in their disclosure that they are biased but they also know/expect most people not to read boring texts, hidden away like that.
