Is there any connection between hostrocket.com and http://www.hostsearch.com ?

I'm not implying anything but it is so lopsided it does look "strange."

Many hosting companies on hostsearch.com have no votes, quite a few have 3-4 votes and a few have 20-30 votes. Then comes hostrocket.com with 153 votes (right now) and a 9.8 / 10 score.

I haven't signed up yet but folks, is hostrocket.com really that good or is there a "stacked deck" somewhere I don't know about?

Alot of this is related to us having been on hostsearch for almost a year now, and having our review hostrocket button integrated into our control panel... we were the first company that I can think of who did that.

... and not a bad marketing strategy at all!

BTW Brendan... heard it asked under suggestions... got a logo or button for posting on client's sites? 'Powered By Hostrocket' or some such?

Well, I made a lot of real nice ones a long time ago. They would do just the trick, and they look nice. It would be a shame if I can no longer find them. Give me some time, I usually back up everything, so give me some time on that one, ok?

You might also want to check out Webhostingtalk.com. It's also a good source for information.

Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about. I made a whole variety of different shades. I'll see if they might be somewhere on the hostrocket.com site somewhere...

Would anyone happen to have all of them? (ie. all colors)

Looks nifty... except I'd want a static version... unless HR were to <grin>... give a rate reduction for advertising... oh, never mind :D

Hehe, I *did* make static versions of all buttons. I just can't find them <urg>. Looks like I'll need to recreate them if I can't find a copy of them all :(

Steve, I'll have them all up in a zip file in about 5 minutes.

Ok, here you go:
