Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blastra support hostadvice?

Yes. Blastra submits to hostadvice on your behalf as part of the standard service. We handle account setup, write the listing copy, manage approval correspondence with the platform, and keep the listing current as your product evolves. hostadvice is part of every Blastra customer's directory mix when it's relevant to their category.

Is hostadvice free to list on?

Free listings are available on hostadvice, with optional paid upgrades on top. The upgrades exist to flesh out a more robust profile, which helps with LLM visibility and matters most when hostadvice is one of the directories you want to prioritize for review collection. Most companies start free and only revisit upgrades once they see results from being there.

Is hostadvice a good fit for Hosting companies?

Yes. hostadvice specializes in Hosting, which means the audience is pre-qualified by category — buyers, analysts, and operators already focused on this space rather than general software shoppers. That audience pre-qualification is the single strongest signal for return on a listing, and it's why niche directories often outperform general ones.

Are reviews required on hostadvice?

No — you don't need reviews to get listed on hostadvice. The platform supports reviews and they're worth collecting based on what's happening in your category, but they're not a prerequisite for the listing itself. Most companies submit first and then build a review strategy as the listing matures.

Can I list a pre-launch product on hostadvice?

No. hostadvice requires the product to be in general access — beta-only or waitlist-only products won't be approved. The reviewers want a working, purchasable product they can verify before publishing the listing. If you're still in private beta, hold off on submitting to hostadvice until you go publicly available.
