Constructive criticism desired on hosting article I wrote...
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could look at an article that I wrote and give their critique of it. It's about choosing a great web host....
Now before anyone starts going down the path of thinking that I am trying to promote something you should know that my site is NOT set up to accept subscribers to my online course AND the host I recommend in the pages of my article is not even set up to give me any credit for any traffic coming to them from this article.
In other words .... and please here this .... I stand to gain nothing financially from anyone on this forum reading my article. Zilch, nada, nothing.
I am genuinely and truly and absolutely JUST interested in getting feedback on what I say in the article about the hosting industry and the steps I recommend to choosing a great hoster. Nothing more and nothing less.
(Sorry for the depth of my belabored point :) but the last time I tried to get sincere input it was mistaken for self-promotion)
Anyway any input would be greatly appreciated. I want to steer my readers right and I figured there was no better place to get constructive criticism than on this wonderful forum.
Are the colors pleasant? Is the article boring? Is it too long? What about what I say about the hosting industry? Is it accurate? What do you think of the steps I recommend to finding a great host? Would you add any or take away any?
The article is at:
http://www.internetsuccess.ca/a/step...g_service.html
I am mainly interested in commentary on the above page alone - the backend pages accessible through the article links are still being worked on. Though if someone wants to give me input on what I have so far feel free.
I will probably leave the article up for a day or two and then it may be gone since I may want to change the URL of the article (lest anyone think this is just a way to get people to read it - it is not - I say this in case someone tries to see it a week from now and can't).
Thanks.
Carlos
ADDENDUM TO ORIGINAL POST: I changed the article based on posted suggestions to remove what was perceived as too much bias in favor of my present host. You can access the new version through the old URL above. If anyone has any further suggestions I am all ears! Thanks again.

Thanks ShagHost. Should I break it up into several pages or perhaps put a table of contents somewhere so that users can skip around to what interests them?
You obviously didn't understand what he said - put it in a smaller font.
Anyhow - what a load of complete BS.

Yeh right - If you really have nothing to gain then don't advertise a webhost on what you are saying is an impartial point of view. I have seen magazines talking about similar things in the past but never have i seen one that has the audacity to have a big advert for ONE webhost. LOL - you are pretty much insulting the intelligence of people on here.
