How to install

1

Download the extension

Click the download button below to get the latest version of the HostingSpotter Chrome extension as a ZIP file.

2

Extract the ZIP file

Unzip the downloaded file to a folder on your computer. Remember where you saved it — you'll need to point Chrome to this folder.

3

Open Chrome Extensions

Navigate to chrome://extensions in your Chrome browser. Enable "Developer mode" using the toggle in the top right corner.

4

Load the extension

Click "Load unpacked" and select the folder you extracted in step 2. The HostingSpotter icon will appear in your toolbar.

Note: This is an unpacked extension (not yet on the Chrome Web Store). Developer mode is required to load it.

How it works

When you visit a hosting provider's website (like Cloudways, SiteGround, or Bluehost), the extension automatically looks up that domain in our database.

If we have a review for that tool, a sidebar slides in showing the rating, pricing, and top alternatives — all without leaving the provider's site.

Click the extension icon in your toolbar to search our database of hosting tools from any tab. Results open directly on HostingSpotter.
