Its been a while since I stopped looking into directories. I used to read up on what was published at the directory blog a lot, but it looks as if thats gone a bit quite too!

How do you find a reputable web hosting company online these days? It’s simple just Google them to find out information about their company and business. For this example I will use my buddy Stuart and his company as an example. His company McKremie has been in business for several years now and you can see how the web is gathering information about them.

Let’s start with business listings that mention hours of operation, their phone number, address and important contact person. You can find this and some reviews on the BOTW Local Listing for McKremie. There are a few reviews that anyone can submit and a rating system.

You can also find reviews of their web hosting service from a handful of companies. One I read was from Jareod Anderson who rated McKremie at a 97% overall. He was quoted as saying “They answer the phone when I call and have helped me with issues on several occasions.”

So before you choose a new web host be sure to Google their name and see what you can find out about them. Sometimes you will be surprised and it may end up saving you from a big headache or loss of money.
