We have recently launched a new and unique type of Hosting Directory.

This short slide show explains why it is different and why it is a win-win proposition for both hosting companies and web hosting seekers.

Slide Show Overview (http://www.findmyhosting.com/Findmyhosting-Overview.htm)

The directory contains no forms of advertising and is therefore completely unbiased. In addition, the directory incorporates Hosting Assured, a web hosting trustmark.

The site can be found at

Quick thought, you generate revenue on a CPA model. That is still a form of advertising, correct?

Good question.

FindMyHosting does approximate a cost-per-aquisition in that the "cost" is a commission on sales, but there is no advertising on FindMyHosting.

What I mean by that is - there are no banners, ads, or spotlights / recommended hosts. There is no way any host can buy any advantage. The only advantage that is available is to differentiate vs the competition.

FindMyHosting is more akin to a marketplace, than a directory. FindMyHosting also will provide each host with detailed metrics about the overall market and their performance in it - so that they can react in the FindMyHosting market.

With no fixed or upfront cost, and just a variable cost on sales - it is a win (i.e no downside) and for the consumer certainly a win.

We are a very different model than the regular hosting directories.
