| How to Spot Trustworthy Hosts As we are all aware, there are many unreliable one-person fly-by-night hosts out there that are interested only in making a quick buck and then disappearing. Does anyone have a strategy for spotting these kinds of hosts (or any online business like this, in general)? We could all help each other a lot by sharing our strategies.
My personal strategy is that I always check to see if a host (or other online business) offers phone support via a *non toll-free* number or allows you to contact them at such a number for any reason. Sometimes, if unsure, I'd even call the number listed just to make sure. I find that using this strategy, I can filter out a lot of untrustworthy hosts and businesses. |
