You can always Check the reviewers web site and see if it is legit, call the
phone number on the web site and speak to the person who wrote the review if
you dont want to email them.
Obviously in the case of bens site, they may use hotmail or other free
addresses, but for the customer quotes we put on our own web site we have
specifically asked the customers if they mind being contacted, abd most of
them say no they do not mind, and these are the ones we put online, so any
potential customer can get a personal reference if they want.
At the end of the day, if your looking for CHEAP HOSTING then your not going
to care about such things, but if your looking for a good reliable host with
great customer support and CF knowledge, you have to put a bit of effort in
find out about them.
My only suggestion would be, if you only need CF then go to a host that
specialises in CF a sthey will most likely have the best support and
knoeldge, not a generic host who just has it installed on their servers.

That could be easily faked too. I'm not saying you're company is doing
this, Russ, but imagine how easy it would be to have your employees setup
email address with various free services, submit reviews, and then respond
to any questions as if you're a legitimate customer. Heck, if they wanted
to be fancy, they could build a fully automated system to handle all this.
In short order you could have thousands of 'real'
reviews up there, and all requests for comments would be forwarded to an
employee for response. To make it seem more legit, you could even
intersperse a few 3 or 4 star reviews (things like "Good service, but they
don't offer Linux"). I don't think many companies would do such things, but
look at Yahoo movies, or Amazon's book reviews. There have been well
publicized cases of publishers submitting fake reviews to try to sell more
tickets/books.
Again, I don't know the best answer for this problem. I'm just saying, take
those reviews with a grain of salt.
