Data

In order to group data into proportional slices and bars we rounded host ratings with a php function. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.round.php for details.

 echo round(3.4);   // 3 
 echo round(3.5);   // 4 
 echo round(3.6);   // 4 

Interpretation

These are just some of our general observations when it comes to ratings distribution:

• Go with a web hosting provider that has a left-skewed (negative) ratings distribution curve, where the mass of positive ratings is concentrated on the right of the figure.
• Think twice if you see a right-skewed (positive) curve. These hosts lack positive feedback and have many customer complains.

This table consists of all ratings we were able to find accross the web, along with the credibility and meta data of review sites.

We believe with this information, it is much easier to understand how a web host performs on a global scale and to avoid making a biased decision.
