Methodology

Hosting providers and their plans are manually reviewed before being added to our platform. Only providers that meet our minimum objective criteria are eligible for inclusion:

  • A claimed and verified profile on Trustpilot
  • No known violations of Trustpilot’s Terms of Use
  • A Trustpilot rating of 4.1/5.0 or higher
  • At least 100 customer reviews
  • Operating for more than one year
  • Not primarily offering adult hosting services

Shared Hosting Risk-Free Requirement

If a provider offers shared hosting plans, at least one of those plans must include either:

  • a money-back guarantee, or
  • a free trial period.

This ensures entry-level users can evaluate the service without financial risk.

Providers that do not meet these standards are not considered, regardless of partnerships or affiliations.

Ongoing Monitoring: If a provider’s Trustpilot rating falls below 4.0, their plans are temporarily removed from search results, but the provider remains listed on our site. If a provider violates any of the other criteria, they are completely removed from our listings until they meet all the requirements again.
