Methodology
Range and median cover all matching tariff rows before pagination. Each brand counts as its own provider; providers with several different tariffs contribute multiple entries to the tariff median. This is not a performance rating. Failed checks do not refresh price evidence.
Operator connection: the operator of HostComparator also runs game-serverhosting, mcfreehost, SupremeTier, EZPlayHost, MCRedstone. This connection does not affect the price order.
Tax basis not explicitly verified; taxes may be added.
Recurring costs per GB and 30 days. CPU, storage and support remain different services.

Comparison prices are not invoice amounts. Each tariff retains its original price and billing period. Long terms must be paid in full upfront. Unverified taxes may be added; unknown setup fees remain unknown. This is not a performance ranking.
How to check a suitable offer
- Choose the game, edition and required resource. RAM and player limits are separate information.
- Compare the original amount and billing period. “Per 30 days” is a normalisation, not the invoice amount.
- Check taxes, mandatory costs, renewal and contract terms with the provider. Unknown information is not a promised service.
- Open the original source and check the actual verification date. A price rank is not a performance test.
