About

An independent guide to hosting

Digital Hosting is an editorially independent comparison site. We exist to help website owners, founders, and developers pick the right host without wading through vendor marketing.

Who runs this site

Digital Hosting is owned and operated by TetraCore, a small software company in Bowling Green, Ohio. We are a review and comparison publisher — we are not a hosting company, and we have no relationship to the similarly-named hosting providers ("Digital Host", "digitalhost.net", etc.) that operate elsewhere. Content is researched, written, and maintained by the Digital Hosting editorial team, edited by W. Miller (below). We deliberately don't publish invented author personas; as contributors join the byline roster, their real names and backgrounds appear here.

Editor, Digital Hosting

W. Miller edits Digital Hosting and oversees TetraCore's review sites. The reviews here are desk research done honestly: plan specs and prices verified against vendor pages and dated, renewal deltas computed from published rates, and no claims of load testing we haven't performed — see how we test for exactly what that means.

What we cover

Web hosting, VPS, managed WordPress, dedicated servers, business email hosting, and domain registrars — 37 provider profiles in all, including the independent providers (MXroute, Migadu, Hetzner, Porkbun and peers) that mainstream review sites skip. Each category page lists picks with clear pros, cons, verified pricing, and what each provider is realistically best for.

How we make picks

  • Renewal pricing weighed as heavily as intro pricing — every published price carries a verification date.
  • Vendor documentation, SLAs, and independent community consensus over marketing claims.
  • Refund policy, support quality, and clarity of billing.
  • Whether the provider's stack matches the use case, not just the loudest marketing.

The full rubric, price-verification process, and an honest account of what "tested" does and doesn't mean here live on the how we test page.

How we make money

Many of our outbound links are affiliate links. When you sign up through them we may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you. Editorial decisions — who we recommend, and in what order — are independent of those commissions, and several of our top picks pay us nothing at all. Providers whose programs we haven't joined still get a working link to their public pricing page. See our affiliate disclosure for the full breakdown.

Corrections

Hosting prices and plans change constantly. If you spot a stale price or a claim that doesn't hold, tell us via the contact page — we fix errors and re-date the page.
