Generally I'd suggest that such a thing doesn't exist - many are blantantly biased (i.e. intentionally) and a lot are also misleading with the top positions available to purchase by hosting providers (we've been approached by many with that specific proposition for example - and I should add that in every case we decline that kind of offer because our reputation is based purely on merits).

My suggestion is to consider what you need from a hosting provider and look for packages that seem to suit your requirements. Talk to the provider to clarify points you may be unsure of, and discuss with them (mainly to get an understanding of their technical competency, attitude towards customers etc.).

After that, you can ask around on forums for others opinions and experiences regarding the hosting provider(s) you are considering purchasing from, and also check on google for what you can find.

We find that our customers rarely take the trouble to go around every review site posting up what they think about us (that kind of action is usually reserved only for bad hosts where the customer wants to make it widely known that the particular provider offers bad service etc.). However, some have published their thoughts on their own blogs, or posted about us in passing on a forum - sometimes their own, sometimes hosting related forums such as this one, web host chat, web hosting talk and so on. Google should be able to find these kinds of references, but in most cases I'd avoid relying too much on the comments you might find on a "hosting review" site for the reasons mentioned at the start of my post.

Also, another thing worth adding to Damien's already wonderful response would be that these "webhosting review" websites, simply list the hosts a simple Google search would give you. What I mean is, that they take the industry leaders, and simply restate them. They don't give you any inside edge on any of the smaller companies, whom are truly running an honest business.

Most of the hosting customers we have wouldn't know where to find a "hosting review site", never mind actually post something

whreviews.com is a good place where you can find as many reviews as you want.

The forums on the web hosting provider's web site will give you opportunity t0 get in touch with real customers and learn for the reviews.
Reviw web sites is the place where web hosting company pay for the liststing.

That's why Serverpoint.com is not listed in any top sites? At least I have never seen about that.

Most review sites wouldn't look past the big sites like godaddy. Your best bet is probably site like this.

Some other web hosting specific discussion sites:

webhostingtalk.com (the biggest)
hotwebhostingtalk.com
webhostingchat.com
datacentertalk.com (mostly good for colo and larger)

Thats right. you should ask members of forums because they would really tell if that webhosting is really good or bad and beside, some of those reviews are paid.

In my opinion Web Hosting Talk is one of the most reliable hosting review site.

Yes, there are couple of web hosting reviews sites out there.

Maybe you can visit the webhostingtalk.com and hostingdiscussion.com to obtain more reviews on web hosting.


Cheers!

It is very hard to get some really good and independent review sites: they are either pre-paid by the companies, or tell only about the most popular companies...

I think forums are the best way to get some info about hosting company from the first hand...

Better go to webhosting forums, as people posting there are real human and not just paid ones. When you go to google and search for reviews, a lot of results came out from several websites but sometimes those posted were not true.

Unfortunately, I don't know the websites with honest web hosting reviews, but I can honestly suggest you several reliable hosting companies Serverpoint.com, Ahosting.biz and Inmotionhosting.com
These hosting companies are undoubtedly flexible and if your traffic grows and you need more disk space and bandwidth, for instance, you have more than two websites, you will do the right decision to choose one of them.

I liked the reviews on the reviewcentre.com. There are many hosting, and other reviews written by the people who used the services... Negative and positive. Many companies included.
