It’s recently struck me what a complete load of balls Hosting Comparison websites are. I’ve seen a huge number of them, and as far as I can see, they all seem to be driven by the biggest commission giving host, not by who is actually the best. And that disgusts me, because they aren’t comparing anything, their recommending the company that gives them the best payouts.

If you take a look around, there are very few websites that have MediaTemple or similar on them, because MediaTemple don’t pay comissions. Same goes for things like Fasthosts, and all the other decent sized ‘proper’ hosts. It’s all Hostgator ($100 comission per sale) and Hostmonster, and similar.

I’m considering the pros and cons of making a proper hosting site, and approaching the proper hosts to help me make it. I’ll accept no sponsorship and use no affiliate links, which means that the reviews can never be biased. I can probably afford to spend a few months with most of the major hosts, and I’ll work from there. Anyone fancy helping out?

My thoughts are that the bigger companies won’t mind linking back to their reviews on the said site, because if their any good they won’t be ashamed of what people have to say, and will maybe appreciate a non-biased view upon their services.

If anyone fancies getting involved and helping out, drop me an email, or dm me (@pearce) on twitter.
