Hosting Reviews Pro is one person: Marcos Bustos, a web developer in Valencia, Spain. There is no review team, no office and no “we”. When you read “I moved a site”, it was me, on a site I pay for.
Where the guides come from
I run a small web design studio, Creativo Web VLC, and a handful of my own projects. Everything I write about hosting starts in one of these accounts:
- Hostinger shared hosting. This blog, a second blog of mine and my studio site run on it. I use hPanel every week: DNS, mailboxes, SSL, backups, file manager.
- A Hostinger KVM 1 VPS. An unmanaged Ubuntu box where I run a Node.js app behind Caddy with systemd units. I have had to fix its Let’s Encrypt certificates by hand, which taught me more than any managed plan ever did.
- Cloudflare Pages and Netlify. Static sites and client demos, with custom domains and free certificates.
- DonDominio and IONOS. Where most of my domains are registered.
- Shopify and Wix. A store and a site I built and looked after for someone else, both closed in 2026. Closing an account teaches you things a review never mentions.
I have also migrated a site from a static HTML export to WordPress on this very domain, and edited a WordPress install in bulk through its REST API. Search Console, AdSense and Google Business Profile are open on my screen most days.
What this site does and does not do
- First-hand or clearly labelled. If a guide says I used something, I used it. If I have not used a provider, the guide says so and sticks to its public documentation, with a link and the date I read it.
- Numbers with a date and a method. Response times, cache headers and PageSpeed scores come from my own sites, measured on a stated day, on a stated plan. A number without a method is just decoration.
- Prices with the renewal price. Hosting is sold on the first-year price. The number that matters is what you pay in year two, so both appear, with the date they were checked.
- No star ratings, no invented benchmarks, no imaginary testing lab. Older versions of some articles on this site had exactly that. They are gone, and the ones that stayed were rewritten.
About the name
The domain is Spanish (reseñas means “reviews”) because the site is run from Spain. The guides are in English because that is where most of the questions come from.
How the site pays for itself
Ads served by Google AdSense, and affiliate links where a provider I actually use has a programme and the link is marked as such. Neither changes a recommendation. The details are in the affiliate disclosure and the method is in the editorial policy.
Found a mistake?
Tell me through the contact page. Corrections are made in the article itself and the “Updated” date changes, so you can see when something moved.
