Our process
How we test every host.
We buy our own accounts
Every review starts with a real signup we pay for ourselves - no vendor-supplied free plans, no sponsored placements. We test what you'd actually get.
We run real tests
Load times and TTFB from multiple regions, uptime monitoring, support-response checks, and a full teardown of the control panel and features - measured, not guessed.
We re-test and update
Every review shows when it was last tested and is refreshed on a cadence - so when a host changes its pricing, plans or performance, the page changes too.
Why readers trust us
Independence is the whole point.
Independent
No host pays to change a verdict. We're reader-supported, not sponsored by hosting companies - so every review tells you which host is actually worth it, and which to skip.
Hands-on tested
Every recommendation is based on a hosting account we paid for and tested ourselves - real signups, real speed tests, a real teardown. If we haven't tested it, we don't rank it.
Kept current
Hosting prices, plans and performance shift constantly. Every review shows when it was last tested and is refreshed on a cadence, so you always know how fresh the verdict is.
