Hosting Atlas was founded in 2022 with a simple mission: make web hosting easy to understand and compare. Our small team of developers, sysadmins and technical writers have collectively managed hundreds of servers and websites. We buy our own hosting plans, run real performance tests, and write what we actually think – not what a sponsorship deal would prefer.
The Team
A small group of people who are genuinely passionate about the web infrastructure stack.
Max Miller
10+ years of experience managing Linux servers, VPS deployments and WordPress infrastructure. Tests every provider personally.
Laura Smith
Former sysadmin turned technical writer. Focuses on beginner-friendly guides and step-by-step tutorials.
Tom Krause
Runs our automated benchmark suite across 15+ data centres globally. Obsessed with TTFB and uptime consistency.
Our Values
Honest Testing
We purchase hosting plans with our own money and run standardised benchmarks. No provider gets preferential treatment.
Data-Driven
Opinions are backed by uptime monitoring data, speed tests and real-world load simulations – not just anecdotes.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate commissions do not influence rankings or review scores. Our recommendations are based solely on merit.
Regularly Updated
Hosting changes fast. We revisit reviews annually and update benchmark data whenever providers make significant changes.
