Hosting market cleanup starts with evidence, not fear ads

Fear sells poorly and hurts legitimate operators. Evidence-based status helps the whole market.

Why this matters now

We refuse scam and safety scoreboards. We publish category outcomes buyers can read. Legitimate operators benefit when empty badges lose power.

What ProviderCheck will and will not say

We report declared, detected, verified, unable to verify, and review-required outcomes. We do not publish scam, fraud, or safety scores. Payment starts a review; it never buys Verified status.

Next step

Buyers: check a provider. Operators: review pricing then get verified. Read how we verify before you apply.
