Why you should trust us?

Prehost.com, launched in 2024, benchmarks web-hosting providers exclusively on verifiable data rather than marketing claims.

Each month we analyse real-world performance from over 17 million websites, focusing on Time To First Byte (TTFB) metrics drawn from Google’s Chrome User Experience Report, and we cross-check this with customer feedback aggregated from trusted platforms such as Google, Trustpilot, G2 and Capterra.

Our transparent, regularly updated methodology—rooted in reliability and honesty—empowers you to choose hosting that truly meets your needs instead of the one with the loudest advertising.
