What people say about HostPapa
We read what HostPapa's customers and review sites say, and sum it up in our own words: what people like, what they don't, and who it suits. Our score is the customer score, worked out from public ratings. We don't test hosts ourselves.
Customer score
Not enough customer ratings yet
We show a score once we have ratings from at least 2 platforms and 100 reviews.
We don't earn commission from HostPapa at the moment, but we do from some hosts. Commission never changes this score or verdict: the score uses published reviews only, and no host can pay to change it. How we make money · How we review
Our verdict
Our summary of HostPapa's reviews is on its way
An editor checks every summary against its sources before we publish it.
Review sites we read
Every review of HostPapa from the sites in our source register that our team has checked. Most review sites earn commission from the hosts they review, as we do; the funding column says how each is paid for.

4 out of 5 starsMore detail
What they say they tested: Signed up for the cheapest shared plan and uploaded a standard WooCommerce site. A WordPress benchmark scored CPU, memory and database tasks, but file-system and network tests were blocked and scored zero. In a load test, response times stayed around one second as load rose, with some failed requests at the heaviest level.

Summarised in our own words.
“Affiliate-funded” means the site earns commission from hosts it reviews. “Published test data” means it publishes the measurements behind its verdict. Scores and ranks are shown as each site displays them; pros and cons are summarised in our own words. How we choose sources

What customers say
We haven't recorded any customer ratings for HostPapa yet.
- Find HostPapa on HostAdvice (opens in a new tab)
- Find HostPapa on SmartCustomer (formerly Sitejabber) (opens in a new tab)
- Find HostPapa on Trustpilot (opens in a new tab)
We don't check whether these reviews come from real customers. Each platform runs its own checks, and some let hosts invite reviews, which can push ratings up. Customer ratings never change the experts' score, and commission never changes either.
