Affiliate Disclosure
HostingPlansReviews participates in affiliate programs run by managed WordPress hosting providers. This page explains, in plain terms, what that means for you.
What affiliate links are
Some links to hosting providers on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a plan, we may earn a commission from that provider. This comes at no extra cost to you, your price is the same whether you use our link or go directly.
What it does not change
Commissions never influence our verdicts or remove a caveat. Specifically:
- A host we'd recommend against stays a host we recommend against, commission or not.
- Overage warnings, banned-plugin lists, acquisition concerns, and other downsides stay in the review regardless of whether the provider has an affiliate program.
- We don't rank by commission rate. Managed WordPress affiliate payouts can be sizable, and we deliberately keep that out of the ordering, our rankings reflect fit and value, not what pays us most.
Why we use them
Affiliate commissions fund the research and keep the site free to read, with no paywall and no sponsored "reviews" dressed up as editorial. When something is sponsored or paid, we say so explicitly; everything else is independent.
Cookies
When you click an affiliate link, the provider or its affiliate network may set a cookie to attribute a resulting signup. That's governed by their privacy policies. See our privacy policy for how we handle data on our end.
