How we verify reviews
How we verify reviews
- Every review passes a fraud check; suspicious ones are queued instead of published.
- The verification level (email, purchase, long-term) is shown next to each review.
- Providers have a right of reply; reviews are not deleted.

Be the first to review this provider
We collect the prices and run the measurements. How the provider actually behaves is something only its customers know.
What is useful to describe?
- Did you have downtime When it happened, how long it lasted, whether you were warned
- How long did support take to reply How many times you wrote, whether it was solved first time
- What happened to the price at renewal Whether the gap between first term and renewal surprised you
What we have while there are no reviews
- Measured independently for 18 days — too early to report
- 15 plans tracked · renewal price verified on 7 of them
- Data score 55/100
How verification and provider replies work
Be the first: an invoice or panel screenshot raises your verification level, but is not required.
The provider has a right of reply to every review; reviews are not deleted and the reply appears beneath.

We want a review tied to an account: a browser cookie can be cleared, which handed one person unlimited reviews. Accounts open only with Google or GitHub.
