Affiliate Disclosure
Best Host Lab is reader-supported. Here is exactly how that works.
What are affiliate links?
Some links on Best Host Lab are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and purchase a plan from the hosting provider, Best Host Lab may receive a commission from that provider. The commission comes from the provider — it does not add any cost to your purchase, and the price you see on the provider's site is the same whether you arrived through an affiliate link or directly.
How to identify affiliate links
All affiliate outbound links on this site route through
besthostlab.com/go/
before reaching the provider's website. These links carry
rel
attributes that include
sponsored
and
nofollow,
in accordance with FTC guidance and search-engine best practices. You can inspect any
outbound link on this site to verify this.
Commissions do not affect our rankings
Our rankings and review scores are determined entirely by the criteria and weights published in our methodology. A provider's affiliate commission rate is not a variable in any score. Providers are ranked by their objective scores, not by what they pay us.
We apply the same methodology to providers that have no affiliate relationship with us at all. Some providers listed on this site generate zero commission for Best Host Lab. They appear because they earned their ranking.
Editorial independence
No provider has the ability to pay for a higher ranking, a more favourable review, or editorial coverage. Providers do not review or approve content about themselves before publication. If a provider asks us to alter a score in exchange for a better commission arrangement, we decline.
Affiliate income supports the cost of running this site — data collection, hosting, and the time required to collect and update information. It allows us to publish without a paywall or subscription.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and with equivalent disclosure requirements in other jurisdictions. Best Host Lab believes readers deserve to know when we have a financial relationship with a provider we recommend.
