How does WordPress hosting work?
Once you purchase a WordPress hosting package, RSH Web stores your WordPress files on one of our Web Servers and points your Domain Name to that space. Your Domain Name allows people around the world to find and view your website. You are basically renting space on one of our web servers. RSH Web then allows your Wordpress to be seen and accessed from anywhere 24-7, 365 days a year

How long has RSH Web Services been in business?
RSH Web Services has been in business under the same ownership since 1997. We are not the largest company, but we are big enough to count on when you need us and small enough that you will get personalized attention from a dedicated team of experienced web professionals

Why do we not see you listed on those "Best Website Hosting Review" sites?
Believe it or not these are all paid Affiliate websites. Not legitimate Review sites at all. They manipulated ranking and reviews to get the best payout they can when some one signs up though one of their Sites. Read more about this here
