Comment on Lesson: Never be afraid to change your web host when they’re not performing as they should by Paul G..
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the comment.
We went through reviewing about 5~7 hosting companies before one fit. And then once we settled, we had problems.
User reviews only go so far though. We chose our first host because the likes of Yoast recommended them. We also tried VPS.net because of raving fans too. Both turned out to provide horrible service. But then, they are owned by the same company.
User reviews only get your so far, the only way to know is to use them yourself. Now, with Rackspace, our service and performance is immensely wonderful. Dare I say perfect.
You’re right, research is important. User reviews aren’t so useful though. If we were to listen to every Apple fanboy, no-one would experience the joy and freedom that comes with Android, for example 🙂
Thanks!
Paul.
