Methodology
How We Compare Hosting
What we show, where it comes from, and what we refuse to make up.
Verified data only
Prices, plan features, performance figures and ratings are published only after they have been checked against a primary source — an official pricing page, a partner data feed, or our own measurements. Every figure is stored with its source and the date it was last verified.
When we don't have verified data for a provider, we show a “pending” state instead of estimating. We never invent prices, discounts, uptime numbers, ratings or review counts.
Match Score
The Match Score is our own fit score for your answers — it is not a user rating. It weighs budget fit, website-type fit, technical experience fit, introductory and renewal price, included features, verified performance, and support and ease of management.
Price changes
When a price change is detected it goes through review before it is published, and the verification date is updated.
Independence
We may earn commissions from some providers. Commission rates do not decide rankings or recommendations. See the affiliate disclosure.
