PC Magazine Looks at Hosting. It's always noteworthy when a mainstream/consumer magazine looks at a niche like web hosting. PC Mag compared seven of the largest companies for shared-server hosting: DellHost, EarthLink, Interland, NetNation, NTT/Verio, ValueWeb, and Yahoo! Obviously, they couldn't include the thousands of resellers in their review, but at leased the article explains:
But don't overlook smaller Web hosting companies. A blossoming market for hosting resellers has made it possible for companies to provide services targeted at underserved niches and specialized markets such as religious-themed sites. If you like the idea of actually talking to someone at the hosting company, your local ISP can't be beat for the personal touch.
Unfortunately, the article neither explained that most resellers use the facilities of the larger players nor how to go about locating and evaluating such a reseller.
