Another year, another mountain of data added to the largest web hosting review site. This year we added over 49,000 new reviews (a slight increase from the 45,000 last year). We added two new companies in Arvixe<\/a> and Site5<\/a>, both of which are now owned by EIG. We published our first WordPress Plugin WPPerformanceTester<\/a>. WPPerformanceTester was built for our WordPress Hosting Performance Benchmarks<\/a>\u00a0which we performed yet again with our largest batch of companies ever. We even got some outside validation from LiquidWeb which published its internal NPS benchmarks<\/a> which matched very closely to their Review Signal Rating.<\/p>\n

But the year ended on a somewhat sour note with The Rise and Fall of A Small Orange<\/a>. It tells the story of ASO and how they've played such a huge role on this site. Including winning at least one of these awards every year since inception. But not anymore. So without further ado...<\/p>\n
