Gaming Google Search Searched Google using tool time past year. This landed me on HostingAdvice.com. After reading the article I noticed someone had commented on the article more than a year ago when the Posted Dated was from a few days ago. Did some research using the Wayback Machine and found they periodically update the "Posting Date". My assumption is they are trying to game Google and people specifically looking for fresh articles.

Scam site that ranks nearly for every hosting review search Scam site that ranks nearly for every web hosting review terms and host versus host search in google with falsified reviews and hidden complains that no one is talking about. I found small blogs have better quality reviews, but surely, hosting advice is not honest and I don't know why Google ranks the well like that. A big?

Fraud website Fraud website. I couldn't understand how they were reviewing some providers so high, then I read their advertising disclaimer: "... we receive advertising compensation from the hosts listed on this page. Along with key review factors, this compensation may impact how and where hosts appear on the page (including, for example, the order in which they appear)...."

HostingAdvice.com is a total fraud. HostingAdvice.com is a total fraud. For example they rate Ehost with a 5.01 (out of 5) Average score. Which is impressive as they only rate the pricing 5 out of 5 and the rest under 5, but the average is still 5. Ehost is not a good hosting company at all but they DO pay $110 per customer as an affiliate. Which is one, if not the, highest payouts available. They have disclosures on their website saying the top lists are sponsored and their reviews are influenced by the affiliate deals they have with the hosting companies. This is why they are pushing high payout affiliate deal hosting companies. Their reviews are 100% biased and misleading to consumers. Sadly it are usually the low quality hosting companies that offer the highest affiliate payouts. If that wasn't bad enough, they seem to be cherry picking (and editing without informing) data from reviewsignal. Total scam. Sure they say in their disclosure that they are biased but they also know/expect most people not to read boring texts, hidden away like that.

Dodgy Can't understand how this works. HostingAdvice.com have Bluehost as their Top Overall Host. Yet they score as very bad on Trustpilot. And I mean, VERY bad. I need to change to a cheaper but reliable host, and its a minefield. Just when you think you've found something that ticks all the boxes, you see a shead load of reasons not to go along with them. Is there ANY company out there who offers a 30 day trial without having to give them money up front?
