Before You Buy
Before you buy hosting
A short checklist for reviewing a provider before you hand over money or move a production workload.
What this page is
This is a buyer's checklist, not a verdict on any provider. Ticking every box does not make a provider safe, and an unticked box does not make one untrustworthy. It is here to help you ask better questions.
Your answers stay in this browser. Nothing is submitted to ProviderCheck and nothing is stored.

Check what we verified
If the provider has a ProviderCheck profile, you can read exactly which areas we confirmed and which we could not.
What a ProviderCheck verification does not tell you
- It is a point-in-time review of evidence, not a warranty about future conduct.
- It does not measure service quality, performance or how you will be treated as a customer.
- Not Verified means we have no active verification — it is not an accusation.
- Paying us never produces a verification. Evidence does.
