About Web Host Pedia

My name is Neil and after over 15 years of designing, building, and managing websites, I’ve seen the impact web hosting can have first-hand.

Throughout my career, I’ve used a wide range of hosting providers, plans, and infrastructure, giving me an in-depth understanding of this critical pillar of any online presence.

Despite access to the best tools and technology, I’ve wasted far too many hours moving sites due to unreliability, dealing with sluggish speeds that drove visitors away, and getting frustratingly poor support when issues arose.


The trial and error of finding a robust web host became a nightmare. There had to be a better way.


That’s why I created Web Host Pedia – to cut through the noise and help others avoid the hosting headaches I regularly endured.

Here at Web Host Pedia, I don’t just review the latest web hosting plans, I put them through rigorous, hands-on tests to make sure they actually deliver. I have spent thousands of hours installing and using everything from shared hosting and VPS to dedicated servers and cloud hosting — to see just how fast, reliable, and secure they really are.

My Values

So, what do I hold dear at Web Host Pedia? My ethos comes down to four key pillars:
