About DohoHub

The independent hosting & domain market monitor

DohoHub is an independent platform for tracking, comparing, and understanding the global hosting and domain market.

We monitor hosting providers, domain registrars, pricing, renewals, uptime, specifications, deals, and market trends — and bring that information together in one place.

Our goal is simple: make the hosting and domain market easier to understand and harder to manipulate.

Instead of relying on outdated reviews, promotional pricing, or paid “top 10” lists, DohoHub focuses on continuously updated market data and transparent comparisons.

No paid rankings. No hidden placement. Just hosting data done right.

Why DohoHub exists

Choosing hosting or a domain registrar sounds simple until you start comparing providers.

One company advertises a $2.99 monthly price, another shows $5.99, and a third offers an apparently cheaper plan with very different specifications. Then there are renewal prices, setup fees, storage limits, bandwidth policies, locations, CPU configurations, support levels, and dozens of other details.

Promotional prices can also hide a much higher renewal cost.

DohoHub was created to solve this problem.

We collect pricing and product information from providers, normalize the data, monitor changes, and present it in a consistent format so users can compare providers on more than just an advertising headline.

Real prices, not just promotional prices

One of the biggest problems in hosting is the difference between the price advertised today and the price you pay later.

DohoHub tracks both.

Where available, we distinguish between introductory pricing and renewal pricing, allowing users to see the longer-term cost of a service rather than making a decision based solely on the cheapest promotional offer.

We also maintain historical pricing data so that users can see how prices change over time.

Tracked plans are re-checked periodically against provider pricing pages, with changes recorded in our dataset.

Standardized comparisons

Hosting providers don't always describe their products in the same way.

One provider may advertise 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM. Another may use different terminology or present storage, bandwidth, networking, and CPU information in completely different formats.

DohoHub normalizes available specifications to make comparisons easier.

This allows users to compare plans based on the resources they actually need rather than trying to decode dozens of different pricing tables.

Independent rankings

DohoHub does not sell rankings.

A provider cannot purchase the number-one position in a comparison, pay to receive a better score, or pay to remove a competitor.

Our rankings and scores are designed around measurable factors such as pricing, uptime, reviews, and other available market data.

Paid promotion, affiliate relationships, verification, or other commercial relationships do not automatically translate into a better organic ranking.

The DHH Score

The DohoHub DHH Score is designed to provide a broader view of a provider than price alone.

A low price does not necessarily mean a provider offers the best value.

The DHH Score considers multiple factors, including available pricing information, measured uptime, user reviews, and community feedback.

The objective is not to tell everyone which provider they should use. It is to provide a consistent framework that helps users make their own decision.

Independent uptime monitoring

Provider status pages are useful, but they don't always tell the whole story.

DohoHub performs its own monitoring and uses those measurements to calculate publicly displayed uptime and response-time information.

This gives users another data point when evaluating hosting providers rather than relying exclusively on a provider's own claims.

Built for buyers, providers, and developers

DohoHub serves three main groups.

For hosting and domain buyers

Users can compare:

• Prices
• Renewal costs
• Server specifications
• Locations
• Uptime
• Performance
• Reviews
• Deals
• Domain registration prices
• TLD availability

The goal is to reduce hours of research and make it easier to find providers that actually match a project's requirements.

For hosting providers and registrars

Providers can use DohoHub as another channel for presenting their products to potential customers.

Companies can maintain their listings, provide accurate pricing information, publish deals, and make their services easier to discover.

Basic listings are available without requiring providers to purchase rankings.

For developers and researchers

DohoHub is also designed to become a source of structured hosting-market data.

Developers and organizations can use programmatic access to work with provider, plan, pricing, uptime, and deal data.

This can be useful for price monitoring, research, comparison tools, dashboards, and other applications.

Transparency comes first

We believe comparison platforms should clearly explain how they operate.

DohoHub aims to make the following transparent:

• Where pricing information comes from
• When data was last updated
• How comparisons are calculated
• How rankings work
• Which links are affiliate links
• Which content is sponsored or promoted
• What information is measured directly by DohoHub
• What information comes from providers

When a number comes from a provider, users should be able to understand that.

When DohoHub measures something itself, we aim to make that distinction clear.

How DohoHub makes money

DohoHub is a commercial project, but monetization is intentionally separated from rankings.

The platform may generate revenue through:

• Affiliate commissions
• Clearly labeled provider promotions
• Optional verification services
• Data/API access
• Other clearly disclosed commercial services

Affiliate links may generate a commission when a user purchases through them, at no additional cost to the user.

However, commercial relationships do not determine which provider is ranked first or which service is considered the cheapest.

A paid placement can buy visibility.

It cannot buy the verdict.

Privacy by design

DohoHub is designed to be usable without requiring an account simply to browse hosting and domain information.

We do not sell personal data, operate advertising networks, or use third-party cross-site tracking for the core browsing experience.

Our approach is simple: collect only the information necessary to operate the service and provide users with a useful experience.

Who is behind DohoHub

DohoHub is built and operated by a small, independent, self-funded team of engineers and infrastructure enthusiasts.

We are not a hosting provider, domain registrar, or reseller.

We do not operate a “house provider” that receives preferential treatment, and we are not owned or operated by one of the companies listed on the platform.

That independence is fundamental to the project.

If DohoHub simply became another marketing channel for hosting companies, it would lose the reason it exists.

Our principles

Data over advertising

Numbers should matter more than marketing budgets.

Rankings are not for sale

Commercial relationships should never determine organic rankings.

Renewal prices matter

The cheapest first-year price isn't always the cheapest long-term option.

Every number can change

Hosting prices and promotions change constantly. Our data is therefore continuously monitored rather than treated as permanent.

Errors are bugs

If we publish an incorrect price or specification, we want to know about it and fix it.

Paid content must be labeled

Users should never have to guess whether something is sponsored, promoted, or affiliated.

Independence matters

DohoHub exists to provide an independent view of the hosting and domain market.

Where DohoHub is going

The hosting market is becoming increasingly complex.

Traditional hosting is being joined by cloud infrastructure, GPU servers, AI workloads, specialized VPS platforms, managed services, developer infrastructure, and new approaches to computing.

At the same time, domain markets continue to expand across hundreds of extensions and thousands of pricing combinations.

DohoHub's long-term goal is to build a comprehensive, continuously updated database of the infrastructure market.

We want users to be able to answer questions such as:

Who is cheapest?

Who is cheapest after renewal?

Which provider offers the best value for a specific configuration?

Where is a particular server located?

Which providers have the best measured uptime?

How have hosting prices changed over time?

Which registrar offers the best price for a specific TLD?

Which provider actually fits my requirements?

And increasingly, we want the data to be available not only through the DohoHub website, but also through APIs and tools that developers can build on top of it.

Our philosophy

We don't believe there is one “best hosting provider” for everyone.

The right provider depends on the workload, budget, location, technical requirements, scalability, support expectations, and long-term cost.

Our job is not to make that decision for you.

Our job is to give you better information so you can make it yourself.
