Frequently Asked Questions
  1. What does this software do?

    Your website host is your lifeline and link to your prospective customers and website visitors. Where you host your website is an important decision that should be carefully considered. Many people use the pricing of a website host as the main characteristic to base their decision on.

    Really there are lots of areas you should use to determine if a website host is suitable for you or not and price should only play a very small part in your final decision.

    This software is designed to help you evaluate and compare potential website hosting companies before you decide to host with them. Without the Host Evaluator software, this process can be pretty hit and miss.

    However when you use the Host Evaluator software, you can make more informed and objective decisions. You can analyse and compare hosts over the most important attributes and hopefully make a more informed, and superior decision.

  2. Do I need to be online for this software to work?

    No, you don’t need to be online to use some aspects of this software. However, you do need to be online to use the testing and alert features of the software. When using these features you must ensure that you do not lose your internet connection while testing, otherwise the software will report that the host is down.

  3. Is this software really free?

    Sure the software is totally free. There are no catches, just a small guilt meter that reminds you of how long you have been using the software, but not in an intrusive way. It is fully functional at all times.

    You can donate to the project to get rid of this guilt meter

  4. How should I use this software?

    This software is just a tool. Just like any tool, it should only be a helper not as the only method for making your decision. You will need to use your own judgement to make your final choice. We cannot and will not be held responsible for your final choices and the impact that they have.

    Remember: THIS IS ONLY A TOOL TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION, NOT A TOOL TO MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU.
