Seahawk Launches Host List
Seahawk Media launches Host List at HostList.io, a web hosting directory that ranks 30,000+ hosts by data, where no company can pay to rank higher.
On March 2, 2026, Seahawk Media launched Host List at HostList.io, a web hosting directory with no paid rankings.
Host List tracks more than 30,000 hosting companies across 120+ countries and ranks them by HRI, an independent 0–100 rating built from verified data. Every host is scored on four equal parts: trust, completeness, freshness and performance. No company can pay to rank higher, and hosts can claim their listing to keep its details current.
Alongside the rankings, Host List helps people choose a host and check the one they have: side-by-side comparisons, a quiz that matches a site to a host, deals, DNS and SSL checkers, a speed test, domain price comparisons and a hosting job board.
Host List is an initiative by Gautam Khorana, co-founder of Seahawk Media, and joins WP Legends, WP Edition and Seahawk Learn in Seahawk Media, the part of Seahawk that serves the open-source community.
