DohoHub is running in beta. This page exists so nobody has to guess: what already works, what ships with the public launch, and exactly when paid verification, promotion slots and subscriptions go on sale. Listing a company is free today and stays free.
Last updated July 25, 2026
Beta here is not a marketing word. It means the platform is complete in function but young in data: the monitoring, comparison and cabinet machinery is built and running, while the catalogue is still being filled company by company. Concretely:
These counters are read from the database when you load the page — not typed into a slide. Where a section is still being built, it says so instead of showing a zero.
We publish gates, not dates. A gate is a condition that has to be true before the next phase starts — a date printed on a website only becomes proof of a missed deadline. Each phase below says what changes for you and what must happen first.
The platform runs end to end: price monitoring, uptime probing, comparisons, the user account and the full provider cabinet. What's thin is coverage, so the work right now is data, not code.
Gate Enough depth that a visitor arriving on any section finds a usable answer, not an empty page.
The pre-launch gate comes down and the full site is public: catalogue, server finder, domains and registrars, comparisons, news and deals, the developer API. Still nothing to pay for.
Gate Full acceptance pass — every page checked on desktop and mobile in both themes, performance and SEO within thresholds, a security review, and a verified off-site backup.
Payments are enabled site-wide in one step, and everything that costs money starts at once: provider verification, the seven promotion slots, and the Pro and API subscriptions for users. This deliberately comes several weeks after the launch, not on launch day.
Gate A registered operating entity with completed payment-processor verification — and enough live traffic that we can show a provider their real referral numbers before asking them to pay for visibility. Selling exposure to an audience that doesn't exist yet is how catalogues burn the trust of the very companies they need.
Once verification is a real product, it gets real substance instead of a second colour of badge.
Gate Each item ships only when it can be measured honestly. No uptime page without a written method; no impression count without an actual counter.
These are designed but intentionally unbuilt. They ship when providers actually ask, or when the data behind them is strong enough to be worth money.
Gate Real demand, plus enough history that a report says something a spreadsheet couldn't.
Being listed costs nothing and always will. Everything below marked as paid is optional, and none of it moves your position in the rankings — see how we make money.
/verify/your-company — a page you can send your own customers toThe core of DohoHub — comparing real prices — is free and is not going behind a paywall. Paid plans exist for people who want depth: longer history, unlimited alerts, automation.
Prices below are what the product is built to charge today. They are indicative until Phase 2 — if anything changes before sales open, this table changes with it and the date at the top moves.

Payments will be processed by Stripe; crypto payment is wired and may be enabled separately after Phase 2. Refund terms are in the Terms of Service and will be finalised before the first charge is ever made.
A roadmap is only worth reading if it also says what won't happen. These are limits on the products above, not aspirations — they're built into how the code works.
Verification and promotion never reorder the organic list. A paid slot adds a card marked «Sponsored»; the ranking underneath it is untouched. This was proposed as a feature and deliberately rejected.
Scores come from data we measure and from community votes. Paying changes neither, and the verification page says so in the same words.
A provider can invite customers and reply officially — publicly labelled as such. It cannot edit, hide or delete a review, and invited reviews are marked «Invited» and moderated like any other.
No ad networks, no third-party analytics, no cross-site tracking, no selling of personal data. Click and impression counting is cookie-free by design — the privacy policy spells out exactly what's stored.
When a provider's firewall blocks our probe, we publish no number rather than a bad one. A single failed probe is never an outage. That rule costs us coverage and keeps the figure meaningful.
Browsing, comparing, alerts, favourites and a company listing stay free. Paid plans add depth — they don't fence off what already works.
Listing is free, nothing can charge you, and the companies who join now are the ones the Founding Provider offer is written for.
This roadmap describes intent, not a contract. Phases move when their gate moves; when that happens, this page is what changes.
