Editorial Policy

Our editorial content — guides, explanations and educational material — is written to be useful and accurate, independent of commercial relationships. We do not allow hosting providers to dictate or approve our editorial content before publication.

Affiliate commission rates do not determine which providers we recommend. Our recommendation criteria are based on suitability for the user's needs, pricing transparency, feature set, known limitations and practical usability.

Our hosting evaluations are based on provider documentation, published pricing, feature specifications, terms of service and publicly available information. When hands-on testing has been performed, this is clearly indicated.

We do not claim to have tested a provider unless actual testing data exists. The distinction between research-based evaluations and hands-on testing is maintained through our review status system.

Provider features and pricing are sourced from official provider websites and documentation. Because hosting prices and features change frequently, we include a "pricing checked" date where applicable and encourage users to verify current details directly with providers.

If you find an error in our content — incorrect pricing, outdated features, broken links or factual mistakes — please contact us. We investigate and correct verified errors promptly.

Updated content shows the most recent update date. We do not silently change recommendations or ratings without noting the change.

We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with hosting providers. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This revenue supports the site and allows us to provide free content.

Affiliate links are identified with the rel="sponsored" attribute. Affiliate disclosure notices appear near commercial content. See our full affiliate disclosure.

When we present ranked or ordered lists of hosting providers, the order is based on our assessment of overall suitability for the specific use case being discussed. Commission rates may influence which providers we include (we can only review providers we have access to), but they do not determine the ranking order.

We aim to recommend providers that genuinely suit the user's needs, including providers that may offer lower or no affiliate commission when they are the better choice.

When we launch our own managed hosting service, we will maintain this editorial policy. Our own product pages will be clearly separated from independent reviews and comparisons. Reviews of competing providers will continue to be published alongside our own product offerings.
