Effectiveness of Web Hosting Directories (WHDs)Written by Priyanka Agarwal
Effectiveness of Web Hosting Directories (WHDs)John is very happy today, for first time in his life he has created his very own website. Now he is looking for a web host so that he can put his identity on net. Casually he asks his friend Mac about it. Mac tells him that web-hosting directories are best place to look for a web host. Getting curious John then asks Mac what exactly a Web Hosting Directory is. Mac responds that web hosting directories are a web hosting marketplace where prospective hosts list their products, plans, prices and other important information so that according to their requirements, customers can choose a suitable plan. Along with details, it also contains web hosts’ rankings. John is now extremely happy as his dream is finally going to come to fruition. Like John, there are many beginners who are in search of a reliable web host and come across web hosting directories. Here a new question arises: Are these web hosting directories really trustworthy sources for novices like John? To find an answer it’s very important to understand working of WHDs. Basically web-hosting directories are of two types: paid WHDs and free WHDs. For paid directories, either web hosts pay a set amount for placing their banners on site, or they pay commission if they get customers via that medium. On other hand, free WHDs like www.askwebhosting.com and www.hostbyte.com etc. web hosts list their services without paying any fees.
