In short: this website is advertiser-supported and promoted with paid ads. Some links to hosting providers may be referral links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. We are still not affiliated with any provider we compare.
1. How we’re funded
HostVerdict is an independent publisher. We pay to advertise this website (for example on search engines and social networks). To cover those costs, some outbound links may be tracked referral links provided through a provider’s public partner or affiliate programme or an affiliate network.
2. Which links are sponsored
Buttons and links that send you to a provider’s website — such as “Visit Nexcess” or “See plans” — may be referral links. These links carry the attribute rel="sponsored" in our code. Linking to a source page (for example in our “Sources” notes) is never paid.
3. No extra cost to you
Using a referral link never increases the price you pay. In some cases a provider may offer the same or a better promotion through a partner link, but we can’t guarantee that.
4. Editorial independence
- Data comes only from the providers’ public pages, and every comparison shows where each provider is stronger — including where the competitor wins.
- Providers do not review, edit or approve our content before publication.
- Compensation does not change the facts we present. It may influence which providers we choose to cover and which links we feature more prominently.
5. Participation in a referral programme is not affiliation
Joining a publicly available referral programme does not make us a partner, agent, representative or affiliate of the provider in any corporate sense. HostVerdict is not owned by, operated by, endorsed by or sponsored by Nexcess, Liquid Web, LLC or Kinsta Inc. See our Disclaimer.
6. Regulatory notice
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), the UK CAP Code and similar rules in other jurisdictions.
