Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-04-30

WebHostingGuide.net is an independent affiliate site. We earn commissions when readers sign up for hosting services through our links, at no extra cost to the reader. This page documents every affiliate relationship we currently have and explains how we rank providers.

Current affiliate relationships

• Hostinger International — approved affiliate via TUNE/HasOffers (account ID 49583, Offer #6 Basic Tier 1). Compensation: $0–$300 CPA per signup plus 10–60% recurring commission share, depending on plan and customer lifetime.
• Cloudways — approved publisher partner. Compensation: hybrid CPA + lifetime recurring commission.
• Kinsta — affiliate program. Compensation: tiered $50–$500 CPA per signup based on plan + 10% lifetime recurring.
• DreamHost — affiliate program. Compensation: tiered CPA per signup.
• Bluehost — affiliate program (subject to per-region eligibility verification).
• Nexcess — affiliate program.
• Liquid Web — affiliate program.

What we do NOT do

• We do not promote providers we don't use ourselves.
• We do not rank providers by commission size. Our rankings reflect real-world testing and the user's stated use case.
• We do not promote SiteGround. (Their affiliate program does not pay our publisher region — we will not steer readers to a provider where we cannot honestly recommend due to undisclosed commercial gaps. We name this openly rather than burying it. SiteGround is covered factually in our reviews because readers expect to see them, but never ranked above alternatives we DO earn on.)
• We do not promote "free hosting" services. That category is sketchy and we will not associate our editorial brand with it.
• We do not paywall, gate, or hide our recommendations behind a sign-up form.
• We do not accept paid placement, "best of" inclusion fees, sponsored reviews, or sponsored guest posts.

How to support us without using our links

If you'd rather not use affiliate links but still want to support the site, share a comparison page with someone who'd find it useful. That's it. We don't run a Patreon and don't accept "sponsored review" arrangements.
