How I check the quality of a webhost

[chazmilles]

Well, first I look for user testimonials. After that I check with the features, send them a support ticket and see in how much time they respond; and, getting a little more technical, I run a DNS report on their IP(s). Like this one here: http://www.dnscolos.com/free-dns-report.html

A better website for checking DNS is http://www.intodns.com , but, with different DNS settings you could see errors, when none exist.

If I were not a web host, while checking the quality of a prospective web host, I would -
1.) Go to Google, & search for - "WebHost Sucks" (e.g. LaceHost sucks , though it doesnt )
2.) Search for "WebHost down".

This gets you most of the -ve reviews

3.) WebHost reviews - gets you the +ve & -ve reviews.
