Web Hosts who apply for the FindMyHost Approved Hosts program undergo rigorous testing in order to pass and be eligible for listing on the FindMyHost.com network.
Consumers who want added protection can choose a ’Guaranteed Web Host’ which comes with a higher level of protection. Consumers who buy hosting through FindMyHost.com and choose a Guaranteed Web Host gain faster escalation and problem resolution due in part to FindMyHost’s reputation and inside contacts at Web Hosting companies.
The Approved Hosts program is designed to help consumers find a reputable web hosting company which has been screened and tested by a FindMyHost research team. Each hosting provider listed on the popular website must pass a long list of criteria and their services are tested and rated by a team member. Mr. Richard Guzzo, the VP at FindMyHost said, “If a company says they provide 24 hour customer support we will call them at 3 in the morning to see if they answer.”
As part of the testing process, a team member at FindMyHost creates a hosting account and then builds a website on that provider’s network. The team member also tests the control panel, the level of difficulty in establishing email accounts and customer service response times as well as the following:
Network Speed
Network Connectivity
Network Reliability
Customer Feedback
Customer Support
Quality of Online Assistance Resources
Once a host passes the rigorous testing criteria, they are awarded the Approved Hosts award and listed on the FindMyHost.com website. They are then given a Report Card and listed in the company’s Approved Hosts database which is available to consumers.
