Reviews
It is good practice when considering doing business with a company to see what other people think of the company in question and whether they would recommend the company to others.
Review Centre and Trust Pilot are two of the major review sites, there are others.
In addition to providing comments on the service received from the company a reviewer is invited to give the company a star rating from one to five stars (five stars being a very high recommendation, and one star in effect being a recommendation to avoid using the company). When a company has been reviewed many times, hundreds or even thousands of reviews then a fair picture emerges of whether the reviewers as a whole recommend the company or not. Whilst a five star rating might seem good, if there are only two reviews on the review site it does not neccessarily give a representative picture of the companies performance (similarly a one star rating recorded against a company by again just two reveiwers might not be respresenative of the performance of the company)
At the time of preparing this page Review centre displayed 883 different companies reviewed that were described as Web Hosting Companies (they may also have offered domain registration) many of them being reviewed less than 10 times. In the table below I list Web Hosting Companies on the Review Centre site at the time of preparing the page in both descending order of star rating and number of reviews.
