    "Zenix.sg is the publisher of this comparison and the only Singapore-headquartered host found. Its rows come from its own plan catalogue and are sorted by the same rules as every other row.",
    "Currency: every price was shown in USD. VexyHost and Nodecraft also offer an SGD selector; SGD amounts were not read. Whether USD was a default or chosen by geolocation could not be determined (Hostinger especially).",
    "Promo vs renewal: Apex, Prism, Nodecraft and Hostinger show first-month or long-prepay prices; renewals are recorded where shown. Shockbyte states its 30% discount is recurring. Hostinger prices need a 24-month prepay.",
    "Prices rendered by JavaScript (PebbleHost, BisectHosting, Nodecraft, Sparked, Bloom, Shockbyte) were read in a real browser; PebbleHost and Nodecraft values come from their plan sliders, and Nodecraft's builder price includes its default minimum extras.",
    "BisectHosting: Singapore is confirmed only through a location icon list; the page states backup retention as both 3 and 7 days and names no CPU.",
    "Prism Nodes: its pages disagree on location count (12 vs 10), and the Singapore CPU is not named (the page says CPUs vary by location).",
    "VexyHost: Singapore appears on the shared hardware page, but the Minecraft plan pages show no location picker. The company is Argentina-registered.",
    "Host Havoc: Singapore appears on the homepage location list but its Minecraft page says North America, Europe and Oceania. Hostinger: its Minecraft page says only Asia. Both are listed as unclear.",
    "ExtraVM: every plan displayed 0 available on the day checked, which suggests it was out of stock.",
    "MintServers: RAM is sold as unlimited, so the 8 GB and 16 GB comparisons do not apply.",
    "Apex EX 16 GB availability in Singapore is unverified; Bloom's 16 GB price was not shown.",
    "Trustpilot scores are domain-level and not Singapore-specific; Shockbyte's site claims 4.7 (source unnamed) versus 4.1 on Trustpilot.",
    "Not confirmed for Singapore from their homepages and therefore not included: Elixir Node, MCProHosting, Pine Hosting, Aternos, Minehut, ServerMiner, CubeHost, G-Portal. ScalaCube returned an error and Nitrado's page was not found. GGServers mentioned Singapore once without usable context. Headquarters is blank for most hosts because it was not stated on the pages read.",
    "Roundups are mostly affiliate or vendor-run (Godlike, GravelHost and MineGuard are hosts or host-adjacent); mention counts are a popularity proxy, not an independent quality measure. Cybernews, Gizmodo and HostingAdvice blocked automated reading and were not counted.",
    "Community threads on r/admincraft were not reachable, so there are no first-party community counts.",
    "Promo vs renewal: Hostinger (24-month upfront promo, renewal shown), Godlike (75% first purchase), Shockbyte and Nodecraft (30% off), Apex (25% first month). Both list and promo prices are recorded in each billing note.",
    "PebbleHost Budget 8 and 16 GB are inferred from its stated $1/GB; Bloom's 16 GB Minecraft price was not shown.",
    "Shockbyte has no fixed 16 GB plan (12 GB, then custom 17 GB and up).",
    "Nodecraft priced in SGD by geolocation; the amount is not converted.",
    "Headquarters is often not stated on the host's site. None of the twelve is stated as Singapore-based, but Shockbyte, Apex, ScalaCube, PebbleHost, Sparked, Nodecraft and Bloom list Singapore nodes.",
    "Unverified items (Apex DDoS, money-back days for several hosts, Asia cities for BisectHosting and GGServers) are marked as such in the data.",
    "Trustpilot scores are third-party, not from the host's own site; Hostinger's covers the whole company; Godlike's rating is withheld by Trustpilot.",
    "Hostinger's figures came from an automated summary of its page rather than a direct browser read.",
    "Selection: the top ten by mentions plus Bloom Host and Gravel Host, chosen from a four-way tie at two mentions (the others were Host Havoc and DatHost)."
