Web hosting reviews?
I remember seeing a website dedicated to web hosting reviews, can't remember for the life of me what it was called. Any tips?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure my forum's speed issues are a result of Dreamhost - not my forum software. MediaTemple would be a good choice, right? Any discount codes?

A discount on them is: 20PERCENTOFF .

There are a lot of these kind of websites. One big one is:
www.webhostingstuff.com

Just ignore the "Top 10 most popular websites." That is purely based on how much a host is willing to spend.

There is a lot of sites that do this. One of them is hostjury.com, just search Google for hosting reviews and you will find an endless amount of them.

mostly the review sites are not meant for reviews ...hehe... these are run for promotion of own hosting companies or advertisements and all that. Mostly the employers of hosting companies can fill in data at discretion on these. So.... I think froum are better if you want to know about hosts.

Make sure to find a website that offers actual user reviews that are verifiable. Web hosting stuff is one of them, but be aware it is a PPC engine at heart.

I am yet to find a review site which is a review site, ie these are mostly PPC etc to make money and where any one can write any thing. Mostly the employees and owners of hosting companies add the reviews in these at will.

Two sites that I know of are:
http://findmyhosting.com/
and
http://webhostingstuff.com

Web hosting stuff = a ppc engine, but their user reviews/uptime monitoring/etc. are all real.

Findmyhosting = receives a commission for referring someone to a hosting, however, they do not rank listings by how much people are paying in commission. Their rankings/search is user review based entirely.
