HostReview Website Redesign Coming Soon

In the coming days the team at HostReview is planning to open up a preview of the new,fully revamped HostReview web site, and to gather your valuable feedback. But before its launch, we wanted to give you a little more background on this move.

HostReview has provided insights on the hosting industry for over ten years, since its launch in 1998. As web hosting is a rapidly shifting technology and understanding all the types of web hosting services is not an easy task, now the website is being updated to respond to all these changes and to suit the visitors' expectations:

Keeping in line with our goal of presenting the latest and greatest in hosting and internet technologies, we have launched a new hosting showcase. The Streaming Media showcase guides you to the best companies, which let you share your video and audio online.

Mr. Steve Hall, from the Furniture Depot in Louisville, KY, is the winner in DevStart's Annual Awards Poll giveaway. He voted in the Web Hosting Category of our Readers' Choice Award, and selected SiteGround as his web hosting company of choice. His number was selected by a random number generator.

Ever looking for insightful views on the topics of internet technology and business, HostReview conducted an exclusive head-to-head interview with executives from two major web hosting companies. Our topic was web hosting trends 2009: what does the year hold for the web hosting industry and its clients? We talk to John Lee, Senior Vice President of Small Business Hosting, with Hostway, and Urvish Vashi, General Manager, Dedicated Hosting, with The Planet. Both companies have strong, and well deserved, presence in our Annual Web Hosting Awards listings.

HostReview is letting the readers vote for selecting their favorite web hosting company as the winner of the site's first annual Readers' Choice Award. The poll closes on January 15th, so the results we are presenting below are not final. If you wish to cast your vote for the best web hosting company, click here, and you will be eligible for winning a 8GB black iPod.

HostReview is turning 10 years old this December, and to celebrate this occasion we are doing two new, and potentially interesting, things.

We've just launched a new online listing with cloud computing service providers. The cloud computing showcase points you to the best solutions to your cloud computing needs, all on a single page.

Who thought attending trade shows could be so much fun? At this year's HostingCon, visitors to the HostReview booth were able to test their mettle against our team at Mario Kart Wii. We throw them blue sparks! Now one of our visitors is having the entire gaming setup delivered to her workplace, to the great envy of her co-workers.

Come play with us at HostingCon 2008

For the third consecutive year DevsStart's HostReview.com will be exhibiting at the HostingCon industry event. Starting July 28th at the historic Navy Pier in Chicago, you will be able to visit us at booth 611, meet the team, and win cool prizes.

We continue the tradition of glamorous giveaways. If you stop by booth 611 at HostingCon 2008 (see map), right next to Microsoft's expo space, you will be invited to test your gaming skillz on Mario Cart Wii.
