Host reviews

This site claims to be an impartial reviewer of web hosts.

from the site:

We are a group of professional webmasters who have had enough of all the lousy and half-hearted web hosting providers out there. So, we created a site that would credit the reliable web hosts and warn visitors of the lesser ones, sort the good from the bad.

While one should always be sceptical of claims of impartiality, this site has a very wide range of reviews and it’s useful to compare available service plans when finding one that meets your needs.
