About Hosting Beasts
We test hosting companies so you don't have to gamble on yours.
Hosting Beasts is an independent review site for web hosting. We sign up, install real sites, measure uptime and speed, and write down exactly what we find — the good and the disappointing — on providers like Namecheap, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround and more.
Our Story
Choosing a host shouldn't feel like reading marketing copy.
Hosting Beasts started because picking a web host is confusing on purpose. Every provider claims to be "the fastest" and "99.9% uptime," but that number rarely tells you what your site will actually feel like once it's live.
So we built a site that skips the sales language. We buy real hosting accounts, launch real WordPress and static sites on them, and track loading speed, support response time, renewal pricing and hidden fees over weeks — not a five-minute skim of the homepage.
Today, Hosting Beasts covers shared hosting, VPS, WordPress hosting and domain deals from the biggest names in the industry, including Namecheap, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround, HostGator, DreamHost, A2 Hosting, InMotion Hosting and Cloudways. If a host matters to someone building a website, it's on our radar.
How We Review
Four steps, every single time.
Sign up for real
We purchase the plan ourselves, at the price a normal customer pays — no review-only backdoor accounts.
Launch a live site
We install WordPress or a static site and monitor speed and uptime with third-party tools over time.
Test support & renewals
We message live chat with real questions and check what the plan actually costs at renewal, not just at checkout.
Publish & update
We publish the full breakdown, then revisit it whenever pricing, features or performance change.
