A read-only JSON feed of 28,000+ web hosting companies, ranked by HostScore, our independent rating with no paid placements. Build landing pages, comparison tools, or research on data you can actually trust, then attribute and link back.
Every list is ordered by HostScore, built from verified reviews, completeness, freshness and performance. No company pays for position.
Clean JSON, CORS open, CDN-cached one day. Fetch it server-side at build time and ship the data as static, indexable HTML.
Free for most editorial use in exchange for attribution and a dofollow link to hostlist.io. Tell us about commercial or high-volume use.

The public endpoints are open. Use this form if you want a private key, guaranteed throughput, a custom dataset, or you are planning commercial use. We answer most requests within two working days.
The data is free to use for most non-commercial and editorial use cases, in exchange for clear attribution and a dofollow link back to hostlist.io. High-volume or commercial use may have terms; tell us your use case and we will confirm.
Each host returns its name, HostScore (and the trust, completeness, freshness and performance sub-scores), segment, country and city, founded year, logo, website, review ratings, and its hostlist.io profile URL. Lists are ranked by HostScore, never by payment.
Responses are cached for one day and reflect the latest HostScore run. Rankings update as new reviews, performance signals and profile data come in. Fetch at build time and rebuild daily to stay current.
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. Fetch it server-side at build time and render the data as static HTML. Keep your own editorial angle rather than copying full tables, attribute HostList, and link back with a dofollow link.
Not by default, the public endpoints are open and CDN-cached. If your use case needs guaranteed throughput or a private key, request one through the form on this page.
