FindLinuxHost.com Helps Visitors Navigate the Wealth of Information on LINUX Web Hosts
Added: (Wed Nov 21 2007)
LINUX Web hosting is one of the most successful and popular Web hosting platforms ever. Its success has made it a standard. Depending on which report you read, only the Windows platform offers any threat to its supremacy.
Given its success, LINUX has been adopted by the bulk of the world’s Web hosts who offer it either as an exclusive solution, or an option to choose from alongside Windows. With such a plethora of Web hosts offering LINUX, finding a good LINUX host becomes increasingly difficult. Fortunately, FindLinuxHost.com (http://www.findlinuxhost.com), a new Web site launched earlier this month, helps make the job a bit easier.
Like the other sites in the series, FindLinuxHost.com provides a number of search options for users. The site offers a “Quick Search” tool which allows users to indicate whether they are looking for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, and establish a number of price options ranging from less than $500 per month to less than $10 per month. The tool then generates the details of hosts that meet the suggested requirements. The details include information on a host’s plans and prices, a link to the host’s Web site alongside a snapshot, and contact details including an email link. After finding the information they need, a user can contact a company directly to pursue an enquiry and ultimately purchase a Web hosting package. The site also allows users to search for Web hosts by name and offers access to a number of ‘Hot Deals’ – hosting packages at discount prices or with benefits. The latest Web hosting news is available, as are articles covering a range of Web hosting topics. Most importantly, the site provides access to the comments of end users.
“With so many hosts offering similar plans that utilize the same solution, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate LINUX Web hosts”, suggests Anne Wongsawat, Web Editor of the site. “FindLinuxHost offers tools that help you navigate the wealth of information available about LINUX hosts. The site offers searches using criteria such as cost and disk space required to reduce the number of hosts you need to consider. FindLinuxHost.com also allows people to leave comments about LINUX hosts and rate them. “As with any other type of hosting, it is essential that our visitors get to grips with just how reliable a particular host is, know as much as they can about its service, or whether there are any problems with what it offers. Only personal experience can convey this, which is why our ‘comments’ and ‘ratings’ function is essential.”
