How this list is built

The news index is populated nightly from primary sources: provider newsrooms and blogs, independent trade press, community boards, provider status pages and vulnerability feeds. Briefs are drafted with AI assistance and every item is reviewed, edited and approved by a human editor before publication; nothing is published automatically. Briefs link out, so the original publisher gets the click and the credit, and no affiliate revenue is attached to news links. Syndication and partner sources receive no ranking consideration: the news layer and the HostList Reliability Index never touch.
