Web Hosting : HostJury Deleted Legit Reviews

Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

Hello, hope everyone here at WHT is doing fantastic, especially with the holidays coming up!

I wanted to post about a site I’m very concerned and frustrated with, HostJury.

It’s simple. The other day, one of our web hosting customers posted our HostJury URL in our customer forums. Since then, a few of our customers saw followed the link and decided to submit reviews about us, which was very pleasing.

Friday night, I saw we had our first 4 reviews. Suddenly yesterday (Saturday) afternoon I checked on the page, and saw all of them had been deleted.

But I looked up the reviewers. They were all posted by legit customers of ours which I was able to find in our customer database, so the reviews are definitely legit.

I am especially frustrated as those 4 had rated us very high, so these are important reviews that have been removed by HostJury.

I don’t understand what’s going on here…
o Legit reviews
o We didn’t ask them to review us, they did it on their own
o We didn’t bribe our reviewers
o We didn’t reward our reviewers

So what’s the problem, HostJury? These kind of instances are interfering with honesty in the hosting industry.
