website hosting

The time for HostingCon 2009 has finally arrived. I arrived last evening (Saturday) to get a jump start on things and get oriented. This year's event is being held in the Gaylord Hotel just outside Washington, D.C. The first day here I took a short 20 minute shuttle ride to the nation's Capitol then viewed the Smithsonian Institute and Washington's popular downtown monuments. It was an easy ride back to the Gaylord. It is a large hotel with a huge atrium housing shops and restaurants of various descriptions.

There are many websites devoted to web hosting reviews. Each of these sites offers something slightly different. Some focus on listing a large number of hosts in a comprehensive database. Others tout user reviews that grade the web hosts on a scale from best to worst. Yet others slim down the list to a ''Top 10'' format - listing just the top performers in website hosting. Using these hosting review sites along with forums devoted to web hosting can help form a strong opinion on a web hosting company.
