How to read a hosting review for what it isn't telling you
They told you: "this reviewer tested 40 hosts." They tested an affiliate dashboard.
— Hover every "Visit Host" link. See ?ref=, aff_id, or a redirect domain? Commission.
— Sort their "top 10" by payout, not performance. The order usually matches.
— Search the review text for actual numbers: TTFB, load average, support response time. Vague praise = no testing.
— Check the disclosure date vs the publish date. Updated reviews chase higher-paying programs.
Follow the money: the host paying $150 per signup always wins "Editor's Choice."
Reality: a review with no traceroute is an ad with a star rating.
