100% Transparent: Expert opinions based on extensive hands-on testing. No algorithms, no corporate influence.
It started when our team experienced a massive hosting outage that took client sites down for 8 hours. We needed a reliable alternative, but were overwhelmed by the options.
We tested 30+ hosting providers before finding ones that delivered. We discovered the best hosts for speed, WordPress, developers - each provider had unique strengths and weaknesses not obvious from marketing.
We spent thousands on hosting plans and migrations just to find reliable providers. Most people don't have the time or budget for this extensive testing.
Hosting Battle saves you time, money, and frustration by cutting through marketing noise to find hosting that actually delivers.
We strive to include all legitimate hosting providers. We're constantly hunting for new providers through forums, Reddit, Discord, word of mouth, search engines, and industry newsletters.
We filter out obvious scams and unreliable providers, but generally add everything legitimate. Even mediocre hosts make the list - warning people away from poor performers is just as valuable as recommending top-tier providers.
If you know of a hosting provider that's missing, definitely let us know and we'll check it out.
Absolutely! Tell us about what makes your service unique. Highlight any features you'd like us to focus on and we'll review it as soon as possible.
We treat all hosting providers the same - no special treatment, just honest testing and scoring across all 10 categories. You can also request a re-review if you've updated your infrastructure significantly.
Fair warning: we're completely honest. If your hosting service has issues, we'll point them out. But if it's good, you'll get the credit you deserve.
Our team studied computer science and works as web developers and systems administrators. All we do in our free time is keep track of the hosting space because of how critical infrastructure is and how many new providers launch every month.
We're both hosting power users and web infrastructure experts - we understand the technology from an engineering perspective, but also manage sites for clients constantly as users.
That combination gives us a unique perspective. We can spot technical issues when providers oversell their capabilities, but we also know what actually matters for real-world performance.
