In my opinion, the Hosted List should be removed completely. It gives an unfair advantage to the host (formally serverFFS) who sells them over the others, since everyone wants their server on the list. This will take players away from other companies who have possibly better performance, and much better customer support. If every host was given the opportunity to sell hosted tab listings, then everything would be fair between the hosts and an actual competition for the "best host" would actually begin.

A suggestion I have is to remove the hosted tab list overall, since I find it pointless. However chances are it will stay and many un-deserving servers will become populated again. In that case, I would suggest there be requirements to join the list, like the Official List formally had. You needed a large amount of players and a well rounded script. After an application has been made with those requirements, the SA:MP Team, or people they chose to do so, will go on the server and see if it's "official" material. Then, the hosted list will be sold to the server.

It would also be nice if the money actually went to SA:MP itself, instead of the actual hosts. As far as I know, the host does not spend any extra money on making a list "hosted", so why should they receive the money? The SA:MP Team are the people who took their time to make this great modification. Not only that, but make it for free! I think it's about time they deserve a reward for their hard work, and that would be a portion of their reward for their hard work.

In other words, the hosted list should be gone and the official list, or another named list that run just like it, should be set up. Just my two cent.
