About My Web Host
My Web Host is a bit different to the thousands of other Web hosting review sites scattered across the Internet, it has been put together to focus solely on Australian Web Hosting companies that are operating servers based within Australia. Up until recent times most “Australian Hosting Providers” ran their business in Australia however leased or owned Web servers located in the US due to greatly reduced prices. Thankfully things have changed and the costs associated with operating a Web server within Australia are now at a price that is comparable with overseas options.
My Web Host is also different to other Web hosting review sites (that are mostly run by affiliate marketers that base their top reviews on the best commission or advertising fee) as it is powered purely by actual Web hosting customer reviews, whether they be good or bad. We do not moderate any legitimate submission and hope you will share your experience with us as many others already have!
Helping Everybody Get a Good Deal
There is no doubt that customer testimonials can have a positive impact on any business, particularly a service-based industry such as Web hosting. We hope that our hosting reviews can not only help you in your decision of selecting a Web host, but also be a catalyst to keep Australian Web hosting companies on their toes by providing their customers with good service and support, continue to investment in infrastructure and most importantly service happy customers willing to give positive reviews.
Hosting Companies are Ordered by Customer Ratings
Most web host review websites order their lists of hosts by how much each is paying per referral to maximize their income. That means all their lists are almost identical, showing you the same names over and over, even if the companies provide poor support, service and features.
Our reviews are ordered by weighted customer rating. That means a web host with a 5-star rating by a single reviewer won’t automatically go to the top of the list, but one with numerous reviews well above the average will. The more reviews customers submit about a host, the more we trust the ratings to be accurate and allow it to move up the ranks.
Advertising and Affiliate Commissions
It should be stated that as the owner of this Web site we do own and operate a small Australian-based Web hosting service, however it should be noted that we are not interested in expanding this service past offering a convenient solution for our Web development customers and guarantee that in no way will our Web hosting business be advertised or promoted on this site.
We also do not want to influence any of our decision-making, particularly when moderating both positive and negative reviews, and will not be accepting advertising from any Web hosting company. We do add referral IDs to the links to the hosts’ sites, if the host has a referral program, and may from time to time to show complementary product advertising. This allows us to earn revenue to develop and maintain the website, and we allow you to review whatever web hosting company you’ve used, even if they don’t have a referral program. The only catch is that they must have their servers based in Australia.
Show Us Your Support
My Web Host has been put together to help you make your decision when looking for an Australian Web host. As a small operation we do not have the backup support or marketing budget to spend $3 – $5 per click on search engines to promote our site and hope that you can help us by recommending the site to friends, linking to it from your Web site or blog or even just giving us a plug on Facebook or MySpace.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our Web hosting review site (or just want to say hello) feel free to contact us.
