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
Hosting Horizon is free to use. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change Hosting Horizon Scores, which come from user reviews only. Providers that offer our readers an exclusive coupon may be featured at the top of our lists, labeled Exclusive Deal. Read our advertising disclosure
