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

Hostek is a US-based hosting provider founded in 1998, running data centers in the UK, Sweden, and the US, including Reading, Enfield Town, Kungaelv, Karlskrona, St. Louis, and Ashburn. It stands out for a service lineup that covers shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS, and reseller hosting, with both custom and cPanel control panel options depending on the plan.
Shared hosting spans eleven plans from about $11.77 to $38.99 a month, managed WordPress hosting runs from a notably higher $153 to $536 a month across three plans, VPS covers sixteen plans from $31.5 to $302.4, and reseller hosting spans two plans from $24 to $33.6, all on SSD storage. Hostek backs its plans with a 30-day money-back guarantee and supports customers through live chat, email, and a knowledge base, accepting credit card and PayPal for payment. With six data center locations split across the UK, Sweden, and the US, and a managed WordPress tier priced well above its shared and VPS lines, Hostek looks best suited to businesses that need enterprise-grade managed WordPress hosting or Windows-compatible VPS and reseller plans rather than budget shared hosting shoppers.
