fplanque: dev blog

Lately I have been re-testing most of b2evolution's hosting partners... As the number of hosting test sites grows though, it takes days just to update the testing software on all of them. I guess I'll have the automate that

But that's nothing compared to writing and updating the webhost reviews: I can hardly handle more than one a week and still do it seriously. And that I don't think i'll ever be able to automate

Finally it dawned on me that an increasing number of potential users don't even have a clue about web hosting, what it is or exactly why they need it. I started by writing a short intro to web hosting, but I don't think that's enough, especially for people who "just want a blog". Educating them about webhosting is a long an windy road... and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just host the blog for them...

As part of the b2evolution project, we spend a lot of time evaluating hosts for our users. We think we have finally reached a decent shortlist of companies providing the best service for a reasonable price.

If you're currently looking for a host, you may want to check out our top rated hosts in the following categories: cheap web hosting, shared web hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated servers and also: green web hosting!

As of today, our prefered choice is AN Hosting.
