Ask HN: Why is it so difficult to find legitimate web host reviews?
Seems like any Google search I make inevitably ends in a bunch of SEO-soaked noise. Even CNET's page seems to have trivially little information.

I find asking a few developers is a much better way. Personally like Westhost (for non critical sites), linode for stuff that needs to stay up, be super fast etc.

- cmer 14y agoHosting companies often pay over $100 per referrals so it's pretty obvious that the value of a single customer is very high. A few fake reviews here and there will likely net them thousands.
