Do you guys research hosts before going with them?
 

I've seen a pattern where a bunch of people will say a host is "stand up" and the rest just follows the bandwagon. Actually i have seen this pattern on almost anything on gfy. (host, affiliate programs ext)

Do you guys actually go and research the host? :helpme

Sadly, thats how gfy works nowadays.

no i just avoid the xbiz winners

jim at techiemedia.com - great customer service in my experience ;-)

Of course not. Everyone here is stupid and believes everything everyone else says. :thumbsup

I rode on the back of baddog's motorcylce.

haha...a man I can trust ;-)

You'd be an idiot NOT to research a host before going with them.

i bet most wouldn't really know how...

ask a friend :thumbsup

What sort of research are you talking about??

You can't use anything you read on GFY and if you've been thru a few hosts you soon come to realize it's a crap shoot.. You could have great service with a host but someone else gets crap service.. You could have great service for a year or 2 and then it turns to crap... Shit happens with ANY host.

i just did, he told me like whoa is great

hmmm....didn't they go out of biz? maybe you asked the wrong friend

theres a handful of hosts that are rock solid for years, ask yourself which hosts NEVER have a thread about them? :)

i search "hosts" on google then close my eyes and randomly click one

You can't really go by that either... I don't think either of my 3 hosts (who never promote on here) have ever had a bad thread on GFY but that doesn't mean they're great hosts.. They have their problems..

I feel for ya. You can guarantee if anyone of the LARGE adult hosts are having isues you will hear about it on GFY :2 cents:

I usually go by what my friends recommend
