About Us & Who We Are
What is hosttest?
Hosttest is one of the largest platforms for hosting in German-speaking countries. Visitors can find detailed information about web hosting providers, compare offers, post free tenders, and read reviews of more than 400 providers.
All registered web hosts undergo various tests and comparisons to determine the TOP 10. Additionally, we hold our annual Web Host of the Year election.

The Face Behind hosttest
Operator & founder of hosttest: Already during his student years, he founded hosttest in 2006 with the goal of making the hosting market in the DACH region transparent & comparable. It didn't take long before several hundred providers were listed. In the following years, the platform grew to become one of the largest German-language comparison platforms.
Our Drive - Our Goal!
From our own long-standing experience with numerous hosting providers, we know how exhausting and time-consuming it can be to find the right and reliable provider. Since our founding in 2006, we have helped thousands of visitors find the right hosting provider. Therefore, our goal is: TRANSPARENCY! No more hide and seek in the offer jungle! Offer comparison, reviews, interviews, and experience reports. Because choosing the right hosting partner should bring joy and much less stress.
How Do We Finance Ourselves?
To ensure the professional operation of the platform, we finance ourselves through classic advertising placements. We also offer providers paid memberships.
How You Can Support Us
If you would like to support us, we would appreciate feedback to help us improve our portal for the future! You can email us directly.
Social Engagement
As a web portal, we also bear social responsibility. We have therefore been supporting Doctors Without Borders for several years, because not all people are fortunate enough to live on the sunny side of life. They need our help and deserve our commitment. That's why we decided to regularly conduct fundraising campaigns on our portal that benefit others.
