Review websites

I believe best way is to contact the provider to see how fast the answer is, most of the reviews over the internet are paid, so not a trust source of information.

Regards,
 
Of course, you can read the reviews and this is not a mistake, but still keep in mind that many of them are purchased and are not completely true. It's best to really familiarize yourself with the provider that interests you.
 
I'd say I check the forums first: WHT and HD.

I also look at TrustPilot, but usually I only read the negative reviews (especially 2 and 3-star ones) to understand the scope of complaints.
 
Checking the review of the user is one way to go, but it is also based on some user reviews, so I also check their services before making a purchase, such as support and server configuration.
 
I agree with most of the opinions shared here. Reviews can be useful, but they should never be the deciding factor. Unfortunately, many review sites contain sponsored or incentivized reviews, so it's difficult to know which ones reflect real customer experiences.

The simplest approach is to buy a hosting plan for one month. During that time, open a few support tickets with different types of questions, monitor uptime and performance, and evaluate how the provider handles real-world situations. After that, decide whether they're worth your long-term business.

If I were evaluating a hosting company today, one of the first things I'd look for is a public status/health check page. A provider that is confident in its infrastructure is usually transparent about outages, maintenance, and historical uptime. Companies that openly publish their operational status tend to inspire much more confidence than those that rely only on marketing claims and review scores.
