FindMyHost
has two programs for helping consumers searching for a web host: Approved
Hosts and Guaranteed
Hosts.
APPROVED
HOSTS VS. GUARANTEED HOSTS
APPROVED
HOSTS
The Approved Hosts program was designed to protect consumers
while searching for a Web host. Approved Hosts are screened
and tested to ensure that consumers choose a reputable and reliable
host while search the FindMyHost resources.
GUARANTEED
HOSTS
The Guaranteed Hosts program was designed to protect consumers
after they choose a Web host. Should you purchase hosting from
a Web hosting company with the 'Guaranteed' status and run in
to problems, we will be there to help.
FINDMYHOST
CONSUMER GUARANTEE
WE
STAND BEHIND ALL WEB HOSTS WHO ADVERTISE ON OUR NETWORK:
1.
We will not accept advertising in our marketplaces or
on any of our network sites from a Web Host who has
not passed our Approved Host program.
2.
Web Hosts found to violate the Approved Host bylaws
will be removed from the site.
3.
Guaranteed Hosting complaints are forwarded to inside
representatives at the web host in question. Should
you ever need help in resolving an issue, simply fill
out our easy to use form. Once verified, your request
is sent directly to our inside contact.
Our
goal is to inform and protect consumers searching and
buying hosting.
HOW
DOES FINDMYHOST REVIEW WEB HOSTS?
All Web Hosts who apply for our
Approved Hosts program are tested by the FindMyHost staff. Our
staff signs up a real web hosting account and puts the Web Host
through their paces. If they claim to have 24 hour technical
support, we pick up the phone and call them at 3am in the morning.
If their servers go down for any length of time during our testing,
we know about it.
