Editorial principles

Trust earned through transparency.

We earn affiliate commissions when readers buy hosting through our links — at no extra cost to you. We say so on every page that uses them. That funding pays for testing infrastructure; it never pays for placement.

FAQ

Reader questions, answered.

How does Hostilo make money?

Hostilo earns affiliate commissions when readers purchase hosting through our links — at no extra cost to you. We disclose this on every page that contains affiliate links. Commissions never influence our editorial scores or rankings.

How are providers ranked?

We weight measurable factors first: real-world performance, support responsiveness, renewal pricing transparency, and refund policy. Marketing claims do not enter the score.

How often is content updated?

Provider pages and category guides are reviewed quarterly at minimum. Each page shows a last updated date near its recommendations.

Do you cover European hosting needs?

Yes. Our primary focus is the US market, but we cover EU data centers, GDPR considerations, and European-friendly providers — with localized pages on the roadmap.
