Hostens — provider assessment
Subject: Hostens
This assessment verifies six Hostens plans (Linux, Windows, container and storage) from the VPS hosting page and company pages. Prices exclude VAT, IPv4 and IPv6 are included, and backups are a one-dollar add-on.

Score global retenu
The evidence coverage is insufficient for a single overall score. The dimension results below are evidence assessments, not a universal quality ranking.
Conclusion
A compact EU option with clear taxes and terms. The assessment withholds an overall score because only Vilnius was verified and no independent performance evidence exists.
Dimensions
Assessed dimensions have a score and rationale. Not-assessed dimensions remain visibly unknown; they are not assigned a neutral score.
