We are proud to announce today the future opening of our VIP Directory.

It is time for the best webhosting businesses to be rewarded.
Whereas the number of offers is in constant progression, it begins to be really difficult for the "Average's Joe" customers to find their way between real offers and the others.
Even if it remains the choice of everyone to look for the cheapest/best offers, it is always difficult to know how reliable will be the selected business.

Thus we would like to offer an oportunity to a restricted number of established/recognized webhosters to dissociate themselves from the mass.

We will judge the candidate businesses according to the following criteria:

Candidates would have to be established since at least 2 years
Candidates would have to have Redundancy DNS
Candidates would have to have at least 2 servers
Candidates would have to have at least 100 customers
Candidates would have to provide sales and/or technical support
Candidates would have to have SSL Certificates and Secured pages for payment
...

The Awaded businesses will be included into the "VIP" directory and for each of them a unique Certificate (reviewable by each visitor) will be provided.

This directory will have its own domain name and will be HEAVILY promoted among webmasters communities.

We hope we'll be able to provide a new and usefull ressources alongside of the existing HostSeeker's directory.

You are invited to post here your comments about this idea.
You are also invited to post here which criteria should be added for the selection of the future candidate.
