I'm thinking about writing up a book about horrible web hosting companies......... I've had some pretty crummy experiences in my day with web hosting providers and I'm sure a lot of you guys n' gals have had some too.
I've had to switch hosts and I even have expertise in this industry, HostCompare.com is my site.
If you guys have any 2-3 page reviews, (proffesionally written about your web hosting experiences) send them over to me. I'll obviously give you credit for what you write if it gets into a book.

Sounds like a good idea, though you will have to make it a "good read" as well, so I'm not sure whether reviews alone will do it...
Do you have a publisher yet?

You might want to be careful where you go with this idea. I mean you will need evidence to backup what people are claiming otherwise you could be in a whole lot of trouble with web hosting companies.
For example someone might say Jim host sucks because they did this, this and that. When after all Jim Host was great. If you start printing this in a book Jim Host might get a bit angry...
Anyway. It sounds like a cool idea :)

well I'll say this, a host that copies a site word for word and image by image should be near that list

Can you imagine what the out come of this "book" could mean?
Well, considering that the web hosting industry is overcrowded and competition is fierce. *Ahem ....Getting the picture?
Here i go :)
Companies will try and send you false reviews about their competitors...you might catch a few ..but maybe not all...seeing that you just wanted anyone with a professional review to send it in..right?
I'm not trying to bust your chops...just letting you know that business is naturally competitive and thus this presents an opportunity for those in the industry to take a few punches at their rivals.
Suggestion: Just be careful about which stories you select. Maybe starting with friends and family might be a bit easier...then go from there.
any ways,
best wishes though...sounds like an interesting idea.

Write a book about the best hosting companies and you'll have success. Just remember, people change and companies change, but the words you put in a book will last forever.
