WHTop RSS feeds

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) lets websites publish updates in an XML feed. An RSS reader checks the feeds you subscribe to and brings new entries together in one place. Each entry can include a headline, a short summary and a link to the original page.

How RSS feeds work

A website publishes a feed at a fixed address. The XML at that address describes the feed and lists individual updates. A reader turns those entries into a list you can scan. A headline and summary can help you decide what to open, and a link takes you to the original page.

When you subscribe, the reader saves the feed address and checks it periodically. An entry can carry a unique identifier, which helps the reader recognize items it has already seen. Many readers also let you group subscriptions in folders or mark entries as read, so you can come back to a topic without losing your place.

How to subscribe

  1. Choose a feed from the list below.
  2. Copy the feed link. If you open it and see XML, copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
  3. Paste the URL into your RSS reader using its Add Feed or Subscribe option.

A web reader, desktop app or mobile app can all use the same feed address. If you follow several providers, create a hosting folder so their updates are easy to find alongside your other subscriptions.

If you plan to republish feed content, see the WHTop disclaimer.

Ways to use WHTop feeds

  • Compare hosting options. Follow the country rankings to build a shortlist, then add the plan feeds for the companies you are comparing. Open the plan page to check the current price and what is included.
  • Keep up with customer feedback. Use New Customer Reviews for a view across the directory. Add the reviews feed for a particular company if you want to follow what its customers report over time.
  • Track offers and industry news. Keep company coupon feeds in one folder and hosting news in another. Before using an offer, open the listing and check its dates and eligibility.

Follow a hosting company

Use the domain shown on the company’s WHTop profile. Start with the bluehost.com examples below.

Common questions about WHTop RSS

Do I need a WHTop account?

The public feed addresses work without signing in to WHTop. A reader may ask you to create its own account if it syncs your subscriptions across devices.

Why does an update appear later in my reader?

Readers check feeds on their own schedules. If you expect a new entry, use the refresh option in your reader if it has one, and check that you subscribed to the feed for the right company or category.

Does a feed contain every past update?

WHTop feeds are designed for recent activity. If you are looking for an older review or want the current details of a plan, open the company profile in the WHTop directory.

Can I move my subscriptions to another reader?

If both readers support OPML, export your subscription list from the first reader and import it into the second. OPML carries the feed addresses. Read status and saved entries depend on the apps involved.

Feed formats and exports

WHTop publishes its public feeds in RSS 2.0 by default. If you need another format for an integration, contact us.
