Harry

Harry is the editor of HOSTING 123, an independent site he owns and runs to compare web hosting, cloud servers, domains, email hosting, WordPress hosting, NAS units and game servers. Ten years of journalism, from reporter to editor, have been spent mostly on hosting and the infrastructure behind small websites. Reviews are grounded in measurements he takes himself: uptime logged by an external monitor over at least thirty days, time to first byte and page load tests from several regions, load tests under concurrent traffic, backup restores timed end to end, and email deliverability checks with SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in place. Pricing is quoted at the renewal rate as well as the introductory one, taken from the checkout page and the terms of service rather than the banner. Any benchmark figure is rerun before it is published, and a public corrections policy covers the site. Discount codes are tested on the day they are listed and removed when they stop working.
