Checking the years of their business, reading real customer’s feedbacks, and studying them via forums or reputable websites help a lot in filtering out some of the scammers. Another useful methods to pick up a good web hosting is to check out multiple contact details on the hosting company – phone number, email, support center, and physical address. A physical address (on Google Map) is especially important as it indicates a larger organization (instead of a work-from-home hosting resellers).

Now, being a larger organization doesn’t mean that they are better. However personally, I feel ‘safer’ when I knew that the web host I’m dealing with are willing to reveal themselves publicly. This shows they are serious about their business and I expect better responsibility in handling clients.

So, where does Bluehost located at?
