HostingRank AI

Methodology

Every score on this site comes from the same repeatable process. If we can't reproduce a number, we don't publish it.

What we measure

TTFB (Time to First Byte)

Time from request to first byte from the origin server, measured from 12 global probe locations. We report the global median of 3 runs.

Load time & LCP

Full document load and Largest Contentful Paint, measured with headless Chromium at 4G throttling. We exclude CDN-only assets to isolate origin performance.

Uptime

HTTP(S) checks every 60 seconds over 30 and 90 day windows. We count any 5xx or timeout over 30 seconds as downtime.

Latency by region

Round-trip ICMP/TCP handshake latency from test nodes in India (Mumbai/Delhi), USA (NYC/LA), UK (London), plus 6 other regions.

Data freshness

Benchmark figures refresh monthly; pricing and plan details are verified weekly against the provider's public pages. Prices shown are the provider's own advertised intro rates with renewal rates called out explicitly where they differ. We never accept payment to change a score, and affiliate links never influence rankings - see our affiliate disclosure.
