Check Hosting Relevancy Before Buying

HostUCan's Host Relevancy Checkis designed to help people find out if a web hosting solution is compatible with their website. During analysis, the tool will aggregate customer reviews, product uptime data, and editor reviews to generate a score indicating how appropriate the hosting plan is for the parameters inputted. It is a valuable tool that should be taken into consideration before buying a new hosting product.

How it Works

As we know, the speed and reliability of a web site depends on:

  • The scripts used to develop the site, and the quality of the code itself
  • Daily traffic of the web site
  • The web hosting plan used

Nowadays, more and more web sites are built using open sourced applications or frameworks such as Wordpress or Joomla. The quality of the code is decided by the application or framework used, so it is now more likely that a web site’s speed and reliability will be determined by:

  • Applications or Framework Used
  • The daily traffic of the web site
  • The web hosting plan used

We know that each hosting product is designed for a specific purpose; that is why when collecting reviews we require information such as the application or framework used, daily traffic, and the reviewer's feedback on the performance and reliability of their web hosting. With this information, the Host Relevancy Check tool will know how appropriate the hosting plan is for your website's particular needs. If the web host or plan is designated as unsuitable, alternatives will be offered. In next section, we will introduce how to check a hosting relevancy.

How to Check

To check hosting relevancy, you should select a web hosting plan and tell the system what application is used to develop the site and the estimated daily page view. In below, we will use WebHostingHub (Read WebHostingHub Review) as an example and guide you through the process:

  • First, go to web hosting company profile page ( Search a Web Hostif you cannot find yours ) where you can find a button as below
  • Click "Hosting Relevancy Checking", you will be led to the form to select a plan to analyze with or directly move to the form as below if there is only one hosting solution from that company.
  • Select the application used and the estimated page view per day, click "continue", system will start analyzing the relevancy and show a report as below.Analysis result you might see are: "Excellent (4+)", "Good (3-4)", or "Not Recommended (3-)". For a result with "Excellent", it's definitely something you should go ahead and place the order. For a result with "Good", you might want to look into the detail of negative customers reviews to know more about the concerns from their existing customers. If you are ok with those issues, then this will be a good buying choice. Stay away with "Not Recommended" option, use our Web Hosting Searchtool to find a better one.

    Below Analysis Result, you will see more detailed information like uptime report, customer reviews statistics, and product promotion information if any.

  • This hosting relevancy checking tool only apply to the sites developed using opensource applications or framework, if you develop something from the scratch, then it won't bring big value for you.
