web hosting: 14-day ROI scorecard for “meditation” — prove lift before annual

Hostinger, Cloudways, and Kinsta on the scorecard

Hostinger only “passes” “meditation” hype if the internal KPI rises with a day-14 screenshot.

Cloudways shows near “fastest web hosting for wordpress”; measure the same KPI, not marketing demos.

Keep Kinsta as control: noisy lift freezes the shortlist.

Fails that kill annual

• Invented baseline for Hostinger/Cloudways with no screenshot.
• Lift on Kinsta without true period cost.
• “wordpress hosting with staging” never becomes a named KPI.
• Incomplete scorecard on day 14.

Scorecard go / no-go
