(Note - not looking for specific hosting site suggestions here.)
It's been a few years since I last looked at hosting service providers, and boy is it a pain in the neck to find information now. Every major hosting service says the same thing, and most of their sites even look the same, causing the conspiracy theorist in me to wonder whether they all are owned by the same holding company in the same way that most sunglasses you see for sale are made by the same company. None of the hosting providers name their competition and try to differentiate themselves from them.
Most of the website hosting review sites that show up as top hits on the search engines list the same top 5 or 10 hosting providers with near as I can tell seemingly arbitrary rankings. For most, it's unclear whether they are anything other than a money-making directory of a small number of services.
So, if I'm looking for information on good hosting providers, where would I go to get some unbiased data and reviews/comparison matrices?
