Editorial Policy & Methodology
How we evaluate WordPress hosting and keep recommendations honest.
Last updated: December 28, 2025
1) Our principles
- Use-case fit wins. The “best” host depends on what you’re building.
- Pricing transparency matters. We emphasize term totals, renewal, and checkout add-ons.
- Setup success matters. Backups, staging, caching, and support quality are core.
- No pay-to-rank. We do not accept payment for higher rankings.
2) How we score providers
On “Best for X” pages, we use a simple rubric to help you choose quickly:
- Pricing transparency
- Ease of setup
- Performance
- WordPress tooling (staging, backups, caching)
- Support
Scores are opinionated and based on publicly available information and practical setup considerations. Always verify plan details directly with the provider.
3) Deals pages policy
Deals change frequently. Our “Deals” pages focus on what to verify at checkout and include “Last updated” stamps. If a deal changes, we update the page when discovered.
4) Corrections
If you believe a page is inaccurate, email contact@hostingpricetruth.com with the URL and details. We correct factual errors when confirmed.
5) Advertising and affiliates
We may earn commissions from affiliate links and may show ads (if enabled). See Affiliate Disclosure.
