About HostingTutor
HostingTutor is an independent web hosting review site. We're not owned by any hosting company, and no provider gets a better ranking for paying us more.
How we test
We purchase every plan we review at the standard advertised price — never a free or comped account. Each host runs the same lightweight WordPress site for an extended period so we can compare uptime and load time under similar conditions.
We log outages and response times, test support channels with real questions, and note anything that only shows up after you're already a paying customer — like renewal pricing or add-ons that get pushed at checkout.
How we make money
Many links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund buying and testing plans ourselves rather than relying on information hosting companies hand us.
Commission structures never influence our rankings. Full detail is on our affiliate disclosure page.
Update policy
Hosting prices and plans change often. We revisit every review on a quarterly schedule at minimum, and sooner if we're notified of a significant plan or pricing change. If you spot something out of date, let us know.
