Okay, it's time to tell you the truth about the web hosting business. It's a money looser!

And for those of you who came here looking for FAST and CHEAP web hosting, LISTEN UP! You might save yourself some grief!

According to Hosting Speeds there were 1554 sites ranked for speed and Hardfocus has, as of this writing, come in at the number 97 position. That makes us number-one in Asia and Oceania and in the top 6.3 percent, world wide. This news has had an intoxicating effect on my marketing manager, who hasn't stopped bouncing off the walls and ceiling.

The realist in me, however, is saying "Hold on a minute!". I need to know what's really going on here. So I decided to take a closer look. In the mean time, I have opted to tie the marketing manager to his chair.

I recently came across an article on the subject of web hosting providers overselling their server resources. Their argument was that overselling was a huge problem and that the worst offenders were resellers.
