Common Questions

Most hosting "best of" lists rank by affiliate commission rate. HostList ranks 30,914 companies purely by HRI, an auditable algorithm using public review and profile data, with a published sponsor firewall so rankings never mix with advertising revenue.

HostList is the world's largest independent web hosting directory, tracking 30,914 providers across 120+ countries. Every listing is ranked by HRI, an objective algorithmic score combining trust signals, profile completeness, freshness, and performance data. No company can pay to improve their rank, and we accept no hosting affiliate revenue on rankings.

HRI is a 0 to 100 score made of four equally-weighted components, each worth 25 points: Trust (independent customer-review signals and verification status), Completeness (how detailed the profile is), Freshness (how recently data was updated), and Performance (uptime and response-time data where available). Hosts can improve their score by claiming and updating their profile, but cannot pay for points.

No. A host cannot pay to rank higher: the ranking algorithm has no paid input, and every score is earned from public data. This makes us different from virtually every other hosting directory, where rankings are influenced by commission payments. HostList does run a small sponsorship trial, and displays Deals from hosts who participate in that program. Both are clearly labelled, both sit outside the ranked tables, and neither affects score or rank.

HostList currently tracks 30,914 active hosting companies across 120+ countries. The directory includes pure-play web hosts, technology companies that offer hosting as a core service, and design and dev agencies offering hosted solutions to clients. New hosts are added daily by our enrichment pipeline.

HRI scores are computed exclusively from public, verifiable signals: independent customer-review data, Chrome UX Report field data, controlled uptime and response-time benchmarks, years since founding or domain registration, and verified claim status. No survey panels, no sponsor input, and one editorial input: the known-host infrastructure tier list that sets the Performance baseline for hosts without measured data, which measured CrUX overrides. Every number on HostList can be independently checked at its source.
