Hosting comparisons with a declared method

A comparison is only useful if it is honest and replicable. Before publishing any comparison we fixed the method: you find it below, together with the first comparisons between hosting models coming up.

How we build our comparisons

Four rules, applied to every comparison published in this section.

  1. Up-to-date, dated data

    Every comparison states the date the data was collected. An undated comparison is expired by definition, and we update or withdraw it when the data changes.

  2. Comparable configurations

    We compare plans with equivalent resources and conditions, not one provider's best plan against another's worst. The equivalence criteria are declared in the text.

  3. Cited sources

    Prices, limits and features point to verifiable public sources. Where a figure comes from our own test, we describe how it was run.

  4. No flaw without proof

    We do not attribute problems we cannot prove. If a test was not run, we say so; if a result is partial, we say that too.

Coming up: reseller, managed WordPress and VPS

We start with comparisons between models and architectures, where the reader gains decision criteria rather than rankings.

A reseller environment with WHM and separate cPanel accounts, several sites under a single account, or managed WordPress plans: permissions, isolation, responsibility and costs side by side.

Shared Hosting vs VPS: When You Need Dedicated Resources

Coming soon

Resources, isolation and costs side by side, to understand when shared resources with per-account separation are enough and when a dedicated virtual machine is needed.

Coming soon

What to check before trusting a provider with client sites: per-account limits, support, contracts and data processing, and how to tell a backup from a restore verified in measured times.

Why you find no competitor names here

We do not publish comparisons with named providers until we have complete, dated and replicable measurements of their offers, reviewed from a legal standpoint as well. Rushed comparisons are the opposite of the method described on this page.
