Rating methodology

Scoring criteria

Each host is scored on five objective parameters (each on a 0–100 scale):

• Speed — server and disk (NVMe) response time, performance under load.
• Stability (uptime) — actual availability and adherence to the stated SLA.
• Price/quality — plan cost relative to resources and the market.
• Support — speed and quality of responses, language and channels.
• Ease of use — control panel, onboarding simplicity, documentation.

The final score is a weighted average of these parameters. Ranking position (order) is set editorially from the scores and does NOT depend on whether a host has an affiliate program.

Data sources

• Technical metrics — speed, uptime and configuration measurements, refreshed regularly.
• Real customer reviews — 2000+ verified reviews; new ones added via Google sign-in.
• Official host data — plans, data-centre locations, service line-up.

Real reviews

Reviews are a key part of the score. We imported thousands of historical reviews and accept new ones only from Google-authenticated users (protection against manipulation). Each review carries a good/bad verdict and per-criterion ratings. We don't remove substantive negative reviews.

Independence & transparency

Our editorial team is owned by no host. Some links to host websites are affiliate links (we may earn a commission). This does NOT affect the score or position: the ranking is formed by the criteria above before any partnership. The rating score (number) and the list position are independent.

Updates

Scores and the ranking are reviewed regularly. If a host slips on speed, uptime or support it drops; if it improves it rises. The ranking is living, not set once and forever.
