WebHostRanking.com Expands Services to VPS, Dedicated, and Cloud Hosting Providers
ST. GEORGE, Utah, May 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - WebHostRanking.com is one of the best resources for web hosting reviews and information about related industry topics and opportunities. Started by industry professionals that have been involved in web hosting and related fields since the last 1990s, Web Host Ranking provides detailed, first-hand knowledge, experience, and help about topics ranging from creating a WordPress blog to dedicated server hosting and much more. The Web Host Ranking team is excited to announce the latest expansion of the site to include information and reviews on VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, dedicated servers, and cloud hosting services. Webmasters that are frustrated with shared web hosting can check out the new categories at Web Host Ranking and get detailed information about other opportunities that may work better.
The Web Host Ranking website is updated several times a week with new How-to articles, web hosting reviews, awards, marketing tips, web host comparisons and more. Web hosting service providers can visit the Get Listed page and quickly learn what it takes to have their service reviewed on the Web Host Ranking site. Every review is unique and contains detailed information about the company and services they offer. There are many things, in addition to web hosting, involved in creating and maintaining a successful web presence. Many web hosts provide all the basic tools for building a website but have very few products or services that will help the webmaster understand search engine optimization, website marketing, and how to analyze website traffic and statistics. Web Host Ranking provides a one-stop place for webmasters to get help and information about each of these topics. Users can also compare hosts like BlueHost vs DreamHost to find which provider will best meet his/her needs.
The new categories on Web Host Ranking provide a unique opportunity for service providers that specialize in cloud hosting, VPS hosting, or dedicated server hosting to receive free advertising. Each company can advertise by way of a company review, through web hosting coupon offers, and can also provide other professional details through a web hosting interview with senior management or another designated staff member. Web Host Ranking is different from all the other web hosting review sites out there because they take the time to work directly with each web hosting service provider in an effort to represent the most accurate company information, current promo offers, and company values to the public. Web Host Ranking will also allow individual users to review a specific host he/she has had experience with; but every comment is moderated to prevent spam and fake reviews from ever appearing on the site.
Webmasters and web hosting service providers alike can benefit from the service and information provided by WebHostRanking.com . Visitors can visit the Get Listed or About Us page to get more information about Web Host Ranking or to get in contact with a member of the staff to ask questions or get more details about getting a service listed on Web Host Ranking. Companies that offer related services like domain name registration, SEO services, or ecommerce software should also contact Web Host Ranking for more information about getting a site or service listed and reviewed on the site. Visitors will find the best deals like the latest BlueHost coupon or other industry specials.
About WebHostRanking.com
Web Host Ranking was founded in 2009 by industry professionals who have a desire to share personal knowledge and experience with other webmasters and internet specialists. Visitors can follow Web Host Ranking on Twitter or Facebook to get the latest news and updates.

Kore Domains Launches Revolutionary New "4GH" Web Hosting Solution
NEW YORK, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Kore Domains is reshaping the Web hosting landscape with its 4th GenerationWeb Hosting (4GH). Set up in a cloud environment, the new 4GH hosting platform provides customers numerous benefits, including scalability, security, performance and value when compared to traditional shared hosting.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120507/CG01752)
"4GH was created to help our customers succeed"
Under the shared hosting model, many customer websites are housed on a single server. If a Web server experiences issues, it affects everyoneon that server for example, if a hosting server goes down, all customers' sites hosted on that server go down with it. If a website on that server has an unexpected traffic spike, in certain cases it would cause website slowness or loading issues for everyone else hosted on that server as well.
Kore Domains listened to customer feedback and created 4GH. Using a new architecture consisting of multiple Web hosting servers networked together, these issues are now a thing of the past. Under the 4GHWeb Hosting model, because websites are hosted in a cloud supported by several servers with load balancing, if a server goes down, another server quickly takes its place, without customers experiencing a disruption in service. If a website receives a bunch of traffic, resources are shifted and the other websites still operate normally.
Kore Domains was in the "cloud" before the term was coined, but 4GHWeb Hosting is the next level of cloud services. With 4GH Web Hosting, if more servers are needed, the cluster can quickly expand, providing plenty of power for all Web hosting customers. Customers using Kore Domains4GH Web Hosting with proprietary Dynamic Traffic Management, Dynamic Defense Management and Dynamic Server Management are receiving a near-enterprise level service for a small monthly fee.
4GH Web hosting is also backed by Kore Domains 24/7 Site Defenders team. A testament to its success in preventing cyber attacks and detecting website vulnerabilities.
