A new service is offering data-driver hosting reviews which can actually be trusted

There is a large number of websites and publications which claim to offer unbiased and truthful hosting reviews.   

While most of them are run by spammers trying to cash in on affiliate programs, there are some which are actually serious about reviewing and testing website hosting services.

A recently launched NCM Online service claims to be the new leader in the area of publications of objective and unbiased hosting reviews.  NCM Online has already published 2014 best cheap hosting reviewsregarding the top 20 leading web hosting services. So far, there is nothing surprising about this, but the new service actually purchases and tests all the hosting services before publishing its reviews of the quality  and gives its view on the reputation of a particular web hosting service.

This is quite different from the majority of web hosting reviews which we stumble upon often, and which are clearly biased and usually rank those web hosting services which offer bigger affiliate commissions rather than based on the actual quality of the services which they provide.

The hosting reviews by NCM Online include opinions about the renewal rates, the page-load speeds, the uptime test charts, the WordPress tutorials, ratings by the Better Business Bureau, and a lot of other information.

Even though NCM Online is an affiliate site too, it does use the Dotcom Monitor services, which tests page load speed and uptime percentage averages for periods of 10 days. Then the test data and results are recorded in 13 different locations worldwide, and are made available to internet users in easy to interpret tables and charts.

NCM Online provides price comparisons as well  but based on the renewal rates of the website hosting services, unlike other review websites.  The reasoning behind this is the fact that while the majority of web hosting services offer initial discounts for new users, at some point of time, these users will need to face the actual renewal rates.  And in many cases, the hosting services try to conceal the actual renewal rates it will charge its future users.

The idea of the people behind NCM Online is to publish hosting reviews which are based on data rather than on the personal opinions of the reviewers.  In fact, they claim that 80% of the criteria used for the reviews is based on actual data and only 20% is a matter of personal opinion of the reviewer.

The actual results published on this new site are quite intriguing, and the web hosting services which have the most transparent cost policy, an affordable renewal price and a high technical standard are ranked at the top.
