How We Verify Hosting Providers

A Verified badge means we have confirmed, directly with the provider or through primary public sources, that the following is current and accurate as of the date shown on their listing:

• ✓The provider's official website and contact information
• ✓Stated electricity rates and billing structure
• ✓Minimum machine requirements and contract terms
• ✓Facility locations and power source

We re-confirm this information periodically. The “Last Verified” date on every listing tells you exactly how current that confirmation is.

A Pending badge means a provider is in our database with publicly available information, but we have not yet completed direct confirmation. We list pending providers because partial information is still useful to you — but treat anything marked Pending as a starting point for your own due diligence, not a guarantee.

A Flagged badge means we have specific, documented concerns about a provider — customer complaints, delivery delays, contract disputes, or other red flags found in our research. We don't remove flagged providers automatically; we surface what we found so you can weigh it yourself. Every flag links to its source.

Why Some Providers Aren't Listed At All

We do not list every hosting company that exists. A provider is excluded — not just flagged — when:

• ×We cannot confirm their stated website or business identity through any public source
• ×A guessed or pattern-matched domain returns no legitimate business presence
• ×We find evidence of closure, dormancy, or abandonment (e.g. a domain that has lapsed to a for-sale listing)
• ×The entity is subject to active government sanctions that would make using their services illegal for US persons or entities

Our Research Process

For every provider, we attempt to confirm:

• ◆Official domain ownership
• ◆Business registration where publicly available
• ◆Customer-reported experiences (Trustpilot, public forums, mining community discussions)
• ◆Direct contact with the provider where possible

We do not accept self-reported claims at face value — pricing, uptime, and contract terms are checked against what the provider states publicly, not what they tell us in outreach.

For Providers

If you run a hosting facility and want to be listed, verified, or featured, book an audit session and we'll walk you through what we need to confirm before a Verified badge goes live.
