HostTopPicksThe Team Behind HostTopPicks
Small, senior and hands-on: every review, deal and price check on this site is done by a person who runs real servers — not an algorithm.
Editorial roles
- Editor-in-Chief — owns rankings, the scoring formula and final review verdicts. Signs off every Top Pick.
- Deals Editor — verifies every coupon against the live checkout page, tracks price history and pulls expired offers.
- Benchmark Engineer — runs speed/uptime tests on our own test sites and audits provider infrastructure claims.
- Research & Data — maintains the provider directory, location data and industry news coverage.
Editor names and bios are being added here as we formalise our byline policy — every review already shows its author and reviewer directly on the article.
What we check before you see it
- Prices: verified on the provider's checkout page at least weekly; deals daily.
- Claims: feature lists are checked against live plan pages, screenshots kept on file.
- Conflict of interest: any paid placement is labelled and excluded from rankings.
