Hosting Reviewer
William spent twelve years as a sysadmin before deciding he'd rather review hosting providers than wake up at 3am for them. Every host on this site runs the same identical WordPress install - a 9,000-post benchmark stack we built specifically to stress storage, database queries, and cache behaviour under realistic load. He measures TTFB across six global regions on a rolling 30-day window, opens a support ticket at 2am local time to see who actually answers, and migrates the same site between providers monthly to gauge how painless (or not) the process really is. He's been told his "uptime spreadsheets are excessive" — he disagrees.
