I have been interested in this sector for over a month or two and noticed, that when I first came here, there were not as many Hosting Companies as there is now
What bothers me is that, when a good quality provider is already here, other small, fly by the night companies come up and get the customers away.
People who are in it, know it very well that services can be very cheap, but what creates the difference is the quality of service that the provider will give, not only the speed or downtime of the server. A same DC always sells with the same price, unless you have a special deal with them.
What I am trying to say is, what is the point of jamming up the hosting section with providers who joined WJ a few days back. So what, if their domain is years old, doesn't mean they will provide high quality services,or at least give people what they pay for or not scam them.
I suggest as we have a market place for server selling, why not make it a bit more standard. Only the mods don't have to be included in it. The respected members, or people who are trusted here can join in and give only minutes a day to help others out. Check the WHMCS, or maybe check the server quality, or maybe some thing else too.
When a client buys a server by seeing the cleaned out threads with ONLY good reviews and sees that the service is crap after buying it, the only thing they get from the host is, 'You didn't read our TOs and policy, we don't refund' and this and that.
We call ourselves a community, I think we better start behaving like one by helping each other out, as people who are here for short term will be filtered out.
Thanks for reading it.
