Why we built this
Most Minecraft hosting "reviews" are recycled affiliate copy with no specs, no testing, and no real opinions. We started Game Hosting Guides to publish reviews we'd actually trust ourselves — backed by the provider's own disclosed hardware and tested where we can.
Every review on this site covers the same criteria — performance, pricing, locations, features, support — so providers can be compared directly. When a host doesn't publish a CPU model, we say "not publicly disclosed" rather than guess. The full methodology is here.
