PART 2. Hesitant About Web Hosting? The Geeks Got It All Covered for You

On PART I, I’ve talked about the world’s largest web site hosting directory known as web hosting ratings. Now, we’ll be moving on to it’s partner directory undeniable run by geeks…as they call themselves… web hosting geeks. No surprise there. While I’d like to make this review a separate from the first, there’s little much distinction from web hosting ratings and web hosting geeks – the very reason why I intended to create a series post. Now where were we? Oh right. Off to even more geeky stuff about web hosting.

What’s The Difference From Web Hosting Ratings

It’s pretty much easy to confuse one from the other because of the relatively similar site interface. With that, my first task really is to identify that difference.


Same awards… different categories. Whew. My first discovery leads me to disproving the idea that web hosting geeks is not a replica of web hosting ratings. While you can find here to awards given by WHR, the following are the independent awards given by the geeks (that’s my shortcut).

• Best Budget Hosting
• Best Blog Hosting
• Best Forum Hosting
• Best Unix Hosting
• Best Windows Hosting
• Best PHP Hosting
• Best Email Hosting
• Best Ecommerce Hosting
• Best Multiple Domain Hosting
• Best VPS Hosting
• Best Reseller Hosting
• Best Dedicated Hosting

The second difference is…well… age. There’s a two year difference between them. That means webhosting geeks have only been around since 2004 (in internet age, that’s way too old).

But The Similarities Are…

Well at least in a good way, both are reputable directories (which is well reinforced by their age). I find web hosting geeks though to be a little more competent in providing resources for the newbies of web hosting. My favorite resources are:

• Web hosting instructions
• Web hosting guide, and
• Finding the best web hosting service

There are more than enough articles at web hosting geeks to get you busy all day long if you really are into this topic. If you’re merely in for the recommendations, they have a robust array of web hosting reviews where you can easily locate the place to go for.

My Personal Notes

I got a hefty load of new information to digest thanks to both website hosting directories. Plus now I know where to go every time I run against these sort of topics. Still quite disorienting though. Sometimes with the too many choices, I get even more incapable of choosing the which over which. It’s just a good discovery though to know that like any other thing, you simply have to find the ideal place for your specific need.

Both web hosting ratings and web hosting geeks taught that too me.
