There are tons of web hosting companies vying for the attention of the normal online consumer, and sometimes it’s difficult to sort through the mess. Top9Hosting.com is a site that assists these consumers in their quest for reliable, updated information on web hosting.

As Top9Hosting’s recent press release describes, they not only offer reviews but also supply their own ranking system—known as the Top9 Scorecard—of the various web hosting providers. These rankings are based on such factors as price, features, bandwidth, hosting space, reliability, ease-of-use and customer service. Also, each web hosting ranking list is sortable by column—the user can click the different column headers to sort and rank the list according to that column's website hosting feature. I think the Scorecard and the ranking lists are great ideas and very helpful. As they also describe, Top9Hosting provides reviews on all the major categories of web hosting such as basic, ecommerce, dedicated, reseller, etc.

One thing I would like to see expounded upon is the Web Hosting Glossary and web hosting articles sections. I understand that Top9Hosting is a new website, so currently there are no items in either section, but Top9Hosting is inviting all people interested to contribute to both of these sections, which I think is a great thing—to get readers and users contributing—and I strongly recommend anyone to do. Join in the fray!
