The same checklist, the same sources and the same weighting for every host. Here is exactly what goes into a HostErova verdict, and what never does.
We score six areas. Pricing transparency carries the most weight because it is where buyers lose the most money. The weights are published so you can disagree with them and re-rank the hosts yourself.
We do not award points for marketing claims we cannot check, such as unlimited everything or vague speed promises.
Plan names, prices, renewal rates, refund windows and limits come from each provider’s own pricing pages, terms of service and knowledge base. When a host publishes a pricing change notice, we read it and update the review.
If a figure is not published, we write ‘not listed’ instead of estimating it. If a host’s own pages contradict each other, we note the conflict and use the less favourable figure until the host clarifies.
Hosting prices move constantly with seasonal sales. We re-read every pricing page at least once a month, and we update the comparison table the same week a provider changes its plan line-up.
Hosts cannot pay to be reviewed, to rank higher or to have criticism removed.
Some outbound links earn a commission. It is disclosed on every page and never changes a verdict.
When we get something wrong we fix it and note what changed, rather than quietly editing.
