When researching for a host provider, it is best to cover all your bases.

Web Hosting Geeks is a good place to lurk, definitely. The website covers everything you need to know about a particular web hosting provider, such as how much the hosting costs, how much space is offered, and how much traffic is allotted. The informative site also reports on what bonus features are offered per provider (these are commonly free domain names and marketing bonuses).

Web Hosting Geeks’ concise but complete report per host provider is a great tool for potential clients. A summary of the web host’s packages and pricing claim top real estate in the report, followed by an overview of the features offered by the web host. Reviews are contained in an inline frame so as not to clutter the page, and less important information such as awards garnered and average uptime of the web host over the years are listed at the bottom of the page.

Most importantly, Web Hosting Geeks is filled with web hosting reviews and ratings made by customers of the host providers. Even the top rated web hosts have some (or even more!) irate clients so it’s important to read through all the comments left by both satisfied and unsatisfied reviewers, to come away with a fair understanding of a provider’s good and bad points, and to decide how you feel about the product.

You can see the dedication that Web Hosting Geeks puts to customer reviews by reading through the pages of reviews each web host provider has. InMotion Hosting, for example, has ten pages full of reviews and comments about the site. Even more significant, reviews on the site are categorized. Highlighted are webmaster reviews, customer reviews and RealMetric reviews.

With the huge number of blogs existing in the world, and millions being created every day, it is thankful to know that some web hosts excel at providing hosting for blogs. BlueHost has been crowned Best Blog Hosting, and true enough, BlueHost is hailed by many bloggers as the best web host provider available.

If your needs are a bit different, then it’s time to crawl the different awards that Web Hosting Geeks has doled out. Best Dedicated Hosting goes to Startlogic Inc, Best Budget Hosting goes to WebHostingPad (at  $4.95 a month, who can argue?), and if you’re unsure of your specific category, then it’s safe to go with InMotion, which gets the top spot for best web host provider overall.

To keep updated with reports on hosting and the Internet at large, visit Web Hosting Geeks maintains a web hosting blog for its visitors. Common topics are content management systems (CMS), domain names and ecommerce. If you are new to the world of domains and hosting, this is a great source of information for you.

Whatever your hosting needs are, remember not to commit to a web host without a little bit of research. And if Web Hosting Geeks is the first place you’ll go to, then it’s a lot of research in a little bit.
