Web Hosting Directory

Welcome to hostcompanies.com, you have just found probably the most advanced web hosting directory in the world. We wanted to take the web site hosting directory a step further and have spent over a year preparing a very advanced business base. Our intention is to connect the three main areas of internet business ( web hosting companies, web design companies, small and large online business based companies ) together. If you are setting up business on the web or already have a current business running you have come to the right place. We offer advice and guidance for everything from finding the correct web site hosting company to obtaining a government grant. The web hosting directory and the web design directory are both worldwide.

Looking for a web hosting company? - Some of the benefits from using this directory are as follows,

Currency Converter - All web hosting packages are priced in USA dollars but using the currency converter its possible to convert this price into any known world currency.

Translation Tool - This tool allows any page on this website to be translated into several main languages, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Hosting Forums - Can be used to interact with other members of the web design and web hosting industry, ask questions and get advice, find freelance programmers, discus various advertising methods. We use a hacked version of vBulliten board allowing search results in our directory to be interfaced with the forum. This means that companies searched for in our directory can be automatically searched for in the forum. This can be used to find out any comments or discussions about the company from other web hosting users. Webmaster Forums are now live - web hosting forums.

Hosting Rating System - Often it is unfair or misleading to judge a company from comments made in a hosting forum. The reason for this has become apparent on many different hosting directories and website's, as other companies or individuals have purposely set up to destroy or harm the reputation of other web hosting companies.
They do this to try to convert clients over to their companies and this can make it very hard to judge comments left on forum systems.
To combat this we have made a unique rating system. Our rating system uses several security systems to check and confirm the source of the rating and comment being made by a various individual or company and to check if they really have had a service performed by the company they are rating.
This goes much further than just recording the ip address. No rating system is perfect or completely secure but we hope our system will block 90% of malicious and unjust web hosting ratings.

Hosting Compare Tools - This can be used to compare different hosting packages from up to 4 companies in a nice simple table.

Hosting Chart Tool - This tool draws a chart comparing up to 4 website hosting companies together, the chart can be set to draw on certain website hosting preferences, for example - bandwidth and services. The chart uses a point system for certain services provided in hosting packages and this enables it to draw.

Multiple E-mail Tool - Can be used to e-mail up to 4 different web host companies produced in search results simultaneously. Useful when needed to ask or inquire about certain services required. We only allow up to 4 hosting companies to be mailed at the same time to protect the companies listed in our database from spam.

Bookmark Tool - Store your favorite web hosting and design companies in a bookmark page for future referencing.

History Tool -All the hosting companies found in search results can be studied in full by using the more info option on search results. This will show all the services the company offers, including company address and currency used. It also shows all other hosting packages and web design services the company offers. When you study a company in this way it automatically is stored in your history box.
These hosting companies can then be viewed at a later date to help users decide which host is best to use.

Server Ping Tool - Test the speed of the server of web hosts as they appear in search results. This can help give some indication of the quality of the hosting they might offer.
