I used HostAdvice to find a VPS physically located in Armenia (Yerevan). Their "10 Best Armenia VPS Hosting Services" page presents a ranked list that looks like an objective, location-based comparison — but most of the top entries have no datacenter in Armenia at all. Concrete examples I verified on the providers' own websites: Ultahost — ranked #1 ("Expert's Choice") for Armenia, but its actual datacenter is in Frankfurt, Germany. The "Armenia VPS" page is just SEO wording, no Armenian location. MVPS.net — ranked #2, but its real location list is Europe only (Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, UK, Greece, Cyprus, Ireland, Sweden, Italy). No Armenia option exists in their order flow. Other names in the list (Hostinger, Kamatera, IONOS, HostArmada, Knownhost) also have no Armenian datacenter. This directly contradicts HostAdvice's own claim that its reviews are "fully independent" and "unbiased." A ranking sorted by an "Armenia" filter should only contain providers that actually offer Armenia — otherwise it's advertising (affiliate "Visit Site" links) disguised as a location-based comparison, and it wastes readers' time. Please either remove providers without a genuine Armenian datacenter from the Armenia list, or clearly label these entries as paid/affiliate placements that do not offer the selected location.

Das ist alles nur scam. Es macht nicht mal Sinn was die schreiben. Du suchst nach einem Hoster für VPS in einer bestimmten Location, die Seite schlägt dir nur Hoster vor, die diese Location nicht mal haben. Macht wirklich 0 Sinn, keine Ahnung wie die sich halten können. 0 Mehrwert.

Now I guess most, if not all of the stuff they recommend is randomly diced by who pays most. The selection of what providers they recommend are pretty much the same. When I want to see providers for a specific country, I would like to have a selection of about 100% of providers who actually host there, not 10%. It would also be great if that one option seems trustworthy or has good offers. If someone used a brain a few minutes for fact-checking instead of copy pasta, maybe they would even generate revenue from affiliate links. (They don't seem to have classic ads)

Suddenly started spamming me out of the blue claiming I was their customer - I AM NOT. Asked them multiple times where they got my email address & they're ignoring me. Clearly a company that can't be trusted if they're abusing personal data like this

Host advice used to be my go-to resource for checking out new hosting offers, but unfortunately, it has recently become mostly marketing-focused and unhelpful for users. No matter how hard you try to search for different deals or products, you'll get the same list of companies with affiliate links that are not necessarily relevant to what you're looking for. It's truly disappointing to see this decline. I hope i can change my review soon.

As a developer with a lot of projects on my plate I work with several hosting providers. This is a valuable resource for me to find quality hosting

false information!
