Reading HostScore Chart
General
- HostScore™ is our proprietary calculation indicating the service quality of a web hosting service.
- HostScore is calculated based on a weighted combination of server speed, uptime, editor's and user's rating.
Uptime - 40% weight
- "Uptime" is the measurement of service availability.
- The primary uptime monitoring location is in the United States. If a test from that location fails, the status is verified from other locations including; Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and Brazil.
Speed - 30% weight
- "Speed" is the measurement of time website takes to respond.
- We measure speed in milliseconds (ms) - the lower the number, the faster the website.
- Speed is tested every four hours from 10 locations around the world.
- Different speed benchmarks are used for Shared and VPS hosting. We expect websites hosted on VPS plans and Website Builders to load more quickly.
- Detailed speed data from each location is published in each individual hosting review page.
Editor's Score - 20% weight
- "Editor's Score" factors in other features or experiences noted during our editor review process.
- Editor’s score considers features, customer support, value, and company reputation.
User's Score - 10% weight
- "User's Score" is based on collected verified user ratings.
- User's Score is sorted by Wilson Score Interval - the more user's inputs we have, the more accurate User's Score sorting will be.
Update Schedule
- Speed and uptime data are updated daily at 00:00 UTC.
- HostScore is updated every Sunday at 00:00 UTC.
