Value and pricing transparency
We look at intro price, renewal price, included essentials, plan limits, refund window, and whether important features require add-ons.
Methodology
How Shellz reviews web hosting providers
A transparent scoring framework helps visitors understand why a provider is recommended and what still needs to be checked before purchase.
Scoring categories
Beginner experience
We consider onboarding, dashboard usability, WordPress setup, migration help, support access, and documentation quality.
Security and backups
We check SSL, backups, restore options, malware tools, account security, and whether features are included or upsold.
Performance and growth path
We compare caching, CDN, modern storage, upgrade paths, and whether the host can support a growing website.
Important disclosure
Shellz may earn affiliate commissions from some links. Affiliate income should never decide the final ranking alone. The goal is to help readers choose the host that fits their website and budget.
What to add next
To make the reviews stronger, add original performance screenshots, uptime logs, support-response screenshots, checkout/renewal price screenshots, and real notes from using each host.
