The First Data-Driven Platform That Makes Hosting Comparisons Fair

2•Hostingmoz•3mo ago

Hostingmoz aims to become the world’s first truly objective, data-driven hosting comparison platform. It’s being built to solve the long-standing problems found in traditional review sites — affiliate bias, outdated data, manipulated rankings, and a lack of transparency.

The platform analyzes hosting plans as users actually see them on official provider websites, collecting data continuously and scoring providers with fair, algorithm-based real-time evaluations. Each company is rated using two distinct metrics: GPS (Global Performance Score) and CPS (Category Performance Score).

All scoring criteria are fully transparent, allowing users to see exactly how each factor influences the final score. Prices are standardized to USD using daily European Central Bank exchange rates, ensuring fair global comparisons.

Providers can manage their own listings through the system, while an inconsistency-detection mechanism maintains quality. User reviews aren’t active yet — the team is working on a verification process to eliminate fake feedback before launching it publicly.

Currently, the Web Hosting category is in Beta, with VPS, Cloud, and WordPress categories coming soon. Hostingmoz’s mission is to create an algorithmic, objective, and transparent evaluation model — finally freeing hosting comparisons from marketing manipulation.

Lots of feature comparisojs but nothing on whether the UI is easy to use? Thats probably my number criteria: is it easy to navigate around, and make changes?

I didn’t want to overwhelm people with too much detail and drift away from the main purpose of the project, so I kept the post as a summary. The site itself is actually very easy to use. Don’t let the detailed search filters intimidate you — the dynamic info boxes below them are just there to give you a quick overview of what your search will cover. The filter options are kept fairly broad on purpose. They’re not only for a single hosting category; since categories like WordPress Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Cloud Hosting will be added later, there are quite a few filters. You’ll get the idea behind the GPS and CPS scores once you start using the site.

Nice looking platform! Would love to be able to search/filter by feature.

Thank you for your feedback. The platform has an advanced search feature at https://hostingmoz.com/search . From there, you can use the filters to dynamically view overall statistics as well as filter the search results. In the coming days, more filters and more robust analyses will be added.
