Rating calculation
A provider’s Hosting Horizon Score is calculated automatically from approved user reviews. Each review rates five criteria (performance, reliability, pricing, support and features). Every criterion starts from a neutral baseline, so a handful of reviews can’t swing a score, and newer reviews count more than older ones. The same formula applies to every provider and can’t be bought. How Hosting Horizon Score works
