One scoring model, every list

Each provider is scored from structured data across 8 weighted criteria, tuned per category. We separate intro from renewal pricing, show what has not been scored yet, and never let affiliate payouts move a provider up or down.

Weighted, not averagedPerformance and price carry more weight than refund terms, and the weights shift by category.

Renewals in the openThe intro price and what you pay from year two are shown side by side on every ranking.

Dated and recheckedPricing is verified against each provider's own page, and every currency conversion is dated.

About these rankings

Why does a provider rank differently across categories?

Because each list uses a category-specific score, not one overall number. A host can be strong at shared hosting and only average in the cloud, so it ranks high on one list and lower on another. The score on each card is the score for that category.

Do affiliate commissions affect the order?

No. Position is driven entirely by the category score. Some links are affiliate links and we may earn a commission at no cost to you, but that never changes where a provider sits. Full affiliate disclosure.

How often are the lists updated?

Scores move whenever the underlying data moves, rather than on a fixed schedule. Pricing is rechecked against the provider's own page, and each ranking carries the date it was last updated.
