This category of the useful resources section contains links to simple web hosting directories, not web hosting reviews directories. As already mentioned in the category page of web hosting review directories, simple web hosting directories merely list web hosting service providers without a thorough analysis of the reviews of that web host by its customers or even taking into account the features/price ratio. As a result, they cannot act as an authoritative guide to the best web hosting service. However, since web hosting directories almost always present a highly summarized information about the different web hosting providers (listing only the main features and price etc.), so it's very easy for them to provide links to their visitors to hundreds of web hosting services as compared to web hosting review directories. Consequently, web hosting directories can often be very useful as a starting guide to know which web hosting providers are playing a dominant role on the web hosting scene. So once you have an idea of what the major web hosting companies are, you can then revert to web hosting reviews directories to find detailed and in-depth information about the web hosting service which seems to satisfy your hosting requirements. So there is no doubt that web hosting review directories are definitely the most authoritative guide for selecting a new web host. Nevertheless, web hosting directories can be a good point to start with. It is worth mentioning here that this is not always a rule of thumb because there are lots of crappy web hosting directories on the Internet which give their visitors a bunch of links and do nothing more than wasting their time. However, we can almost guarantee that you will not find such worthless websites on this page.
