I would say the reason is to protect the webhosters (new once) from getting a bad reputation as peple search for their reviews and a bad review in search engines affect them...

So.... For everyonce betterment.. SMF keeps it as a secret.. :)

The hosting board existed for long before I registered here however I imagine it is kept closed to prevent hosts registering here purely to promote themselves. We'd rather have decent hosts who are knowledgeable about SMF
