HostingRanked
Our Mission

Honest hosting reviews,
backed by real data

HostingRanked was built to cut through the noise. We don't accept paid placements or let advertisers influence our scores. Every ranking is earned.

Unbiased

No hosting company can buy a top spot. Rankings are based purely on performance data and user reviews.

Data-Driven

We run real speed tests, monitor uptime 24/7, and collect hundreds of data points before writing a single word.

Community-Powered

Real users submit reviews and suggest corrections. Our community keeps the data accurate and up-to-date.

Our Story

HostingRanked started with a simple frustration: every "best hosting" list online was dominated by whoever paid the highest commission. Recommendations were driven by affiliate revenue, not actual quality.

We set out to build something different — a platform where speed tests run on real servers, uptime is monitored continuously, and user reviews from paying customers carry real weight. Our composite scoring system factors in performance, reliability, support quality, value for money, and community trust.

Today HostingRanked tracks hundreds of hosting providers across shared, VPS, cloud, and managed WordPress categories — all with transparent methodology you can read about in full.

How We Test

Speed Testing
We measure Time to First Byte (TTFB) and full page load times from multiple global locations every hour.
📡
Uptime Monitoring
Synthetic monitors check availability every minute. We publish 12-month rolling uptime averages.
🛡️
Security Audit
We evaluate SSL, firewall configurations, malware scanning, and DDoS protection offerings.
💬
Support Testing
Our team contacts support anonymously via chat, email, and phone to measure response times and quality.
💰
Pricing Analysis
We track renewal pricing (not just intro offers) so you know the real long-term cost.
User Reviews
Verified customer reviews are weighted into the final score. Fake reviews are flagged and removed.
