Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Tech Hosting Guide earns commissions from some of the links on this site. This never affects our scores, our rankings, or what we recommend, and it never costs you anything extra.

What an affiliate link is

Some of the outbound links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and subsequently purchase a product or service, the provider may pay İsmail Salgın a referral commission. The price you pay is identical to the price you would pay by navigating to the provider's website directly. You are never charged more for using our link, and you receive exactly the same product, terms, and support.

How affiliate links are marked

Every affiliate link on this site:

• carries the HTML attributes rel="nofollow sponsored", which tell search engines the link is commercial;
• opens in a new tab, so you do not lose your place;
• appears beneath or beside a visible disclosure notice; and
• is preceded on every review page by the disclosure box above the first call to action.

A persistent disclosure banner also appears at the top of every page on this site. It is not dismissible.

What commission does not buy

Commission rates differ between providers. Some providers we review pay well. Some pay poorly. Some pay nothing at all because they have no affiliate programme, and we review them anyway. None of that is an input to a score.

Scores on this site are produced from measured results against the six published criteria and their fixed weights, as described on our methodology page. A provider cannot pay to be listed, pay to rank higher, pay for a re-test, pay to have a criticism removed, or pay to see a review before publication.

Regulatory basis

This disclosure is made in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), the UK Competition and Markets Authority's guidance on hidden advertising, and equivalent consumer-protection rules in other jurisdictions where our readers are located.

Amazon and other programmes
