Webmaster's portal YourHostingStore.com, has announced the pre-launch of their comprehensive Host Directory Mashup. The vendor-neutral directory aims to help consumers find a reliable and trustworthy web hosting provider based on their individual requirements.

“As a one-stop, multi-source Host Directory for web hosting buyers of all experience levels - only the most reliable, trustworthy and professional web hosting providers are included,” explains Kevin Chilton, President/General Manager of Your Hosting Store, Inc. “During the pre-launch stage, we invite all web hosting providers to submit their company to be considered for inclusion in the Host Directory.”

The Host Directory, scheduled to launch May 1, 2008, combines data and links from a variety of sources including the Better Business Bureau, the Internet Archive’s Way Back Machine, WHOIS data, Alexa, Yahoo news, and others. In addition, providers can control most of the information shown in their listing. They can upload their logo to build brand awareness, re-enforce their dedication to customer satisfaction with the detailed summary, and use the coupon section to promote limited-time specials to help generate more sales.
