About WebHostingRaleigh.com
We're on a mission to help Triangle area businesses escape terrible web hosting and find providers that actually work. No BS, just honest reviews and real recommendations for Raleigh companies.
Most web hosting companies are terrible. They oversell servers, provide awful support, and trap Triangle businesses with bait-and-switch pricing. We exist to expose the worst hosts and guide Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill businesses to hosting that actually works.
Every recommendation we make is based on real testing with actual Triangle business websites. We don't just read marketing materials—we test performance, support quality, and pricing transparency to give you honest advice you can trust.
Why We Started WebHostingRaleigh.com
After helping dozens of Triangle businesses recover from hosting disasters, we realized the same pattern kept repeating:
- • Businesses choose hosts based on misleading ads
- • Sites become slow and unreliable
- • Support is useless when problems arise
- • Companies waste months trying to fix unfixable hosting
We decided to create the resource we wished existed when we were struggling with terrible hosts:
- • Honest reviews based on real testing
- • Clear warnings about hosts to avoid
- • Recommendations that actually work
- • Focus on Triangle area business needs
How We Test Web Hosting for Triangle Businesses
We don't just read marketing materials. We create actual Triangle business websites on each host and monitor performance, uptime, and support quality for 90+ days. Every recommendation is based on real data from real websites serving Raleigh area customers.
We test support by asking real questions Triangle businesses face: WordPress issues, email problems, SSL certificate setup, and site migration help. We measure response times, solution quality, and whether support agents actually know what they're talking about.
We track real pricing over time, including renewal rates, hidden fees, and mandatory add-ons. If a host advertises "$3/month" but actually costs $25/month after the first year, we expose that bait-and-switch pricing that hurts Triangle businesses.
Our Values
We're not owned by hosting companies. While we earn affiliate commissions, our reviews are based on real testing, not who pays us the most.
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships and explain our testing methodology. You deserve to know how we reach our conclusions about Triangle area hosting.
We understand Triangle businesses because we are Triangle businesses. Our recommendations consider local needs, budgets, and support preferences.
About Our Team
Triangle Area Web Professionals
Our team consists of web developers, system administrators, and digital marketing professionals who have worked with hundreds of Triangle area businesses. We've seen firsthand how bad hosting can destroy a company's online presence—and how good hosting can transform it.
Based in the Raleigh-Durham area, we understand the unique needs of Triangle businesses: from downtown Raleigh startups to established Durham companies to Chapel Hill service providers. Our recommendations reflect real-world experience with local business requirements.
What Makes WebHostingRaleigh.com Different
We Actually Test Everything
Most hosting review sites just rewrite marketing materials. We create real websites, monitor performance, and test support quality for months before making recommendations.
Triangle Business Focus
We understand local business needs, budgets, and preferences. Our recommendations work for real Triangle companies, not just tech startups with unlimited budgets.
No BS Approach
We call out terrible hosts by name and explain exactly why they suck. If GoDaddy is slow and overpriced, we say so. If HostGator has terrible support, we document it.
Local and National Options
We review both Triangle area hosting companies and national providers, giving you the full picture of what's available for Raleigh businesses.
Full Transparency: WebHostingRaleigh.com earns affiliate commissions when you sign up for hosting through our recommended links. This helps us keep the site running and continue testing new hosts for Triangle businesses.
Our Promise: We only recommend hosts we would use for our own Triangle business websites. Our reviews are based on real testing, not commission rates. We make more money when you find hosting that actually works—not when you get stuck with terrible hosts.
Your Benefit: Using our affiliate links doesn't cost you extra, but it helps us continue providing honest hosting advice to Triangle area businesses.
