... a detailed, accurate and up-to-date comparison, say as a monthly published report or chart, of various features of web hosts, let alone regarding the key areas that matter to me: 65% tech support, 25% ease of use, 5% liberal terms of use (content) - and in that order.
I find it weird that such a fundamental (to me anyway) service or website or Youtube, or even magazine article, does not exist. Well, I can't find it! There are billions of fake 'reviews' (affiliate links) there are thousands of compare X to Y videos (affiliate links again) and articles. But they all focus on speed, uptime and very simple to measure variables. I would be happy to pay $150 for a 30-day subscription to an organization/consultancy firm that offers this finding service. I want to buy customised information. Instead all I can find is advertising.
What I envision is first an interview: What is your tech ability? What factors among the following dozen are non-negotiable and which are top priority? What is your budget? Which country are most of your customers in? How much time do you have to learn the software until you start trying to making money? Then you get a list of 3-5 web-hosts. Then your refine (for an additional fee).
I don't consult a physician who sells pharmaceuticals. Likewise I don't consult an advisor for web-hosting who sells them. Perhaps such a service is available only at the executive level, for upper management of multinational corporations because only they can afford the precision?
