At CheapHosting.site, transparency is one of our core values. This page explains our affiliate relationships so you can make informed decisions about the content you read and the links you click.
1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites to earn a commission by promoting products or services of other companies. When you click an affiliate link on our site and complete a purchase, we receive a small commission from the company — at no additional cost to you. You often get the same or better price through our links than going directly to the provider.
2. Our Affiliate Relationships
CheapHosting.site has affiliate relationships with web hosting companies and related services, including but not limited to:
- Hostinger
- Bluehost
- SiteGround
- A2 Hosting
- Namecheap
- GreenGeeks
- DreamHost
- HostGator
- Cloudways
- WP Engine
- Other hosting providers we review or mention
This list may change as we add or remove affiliate relationships. When in doubt, assume that any link to a hosting provider on our site may be an affiliate link.
3. How We Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on our site may be identified by:
- A disclosure notice at the top of posts that contain affiliate links
- The phrase “our affiliate partner” or similar language in the text
- Links that redirect through a tracking URL
4. Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, rankings, or reviews.
Specifically:
- We do NOT accept payment to rank a hosting provider higher than it deserves
- We do NOT accept free hosting plans in exchange for positive reviews
- We do NOT remove negative findings from reviews because a provider is an affiliate
- Our rankings are based on independent testing, not commission rates
- We will recommend a non-affiliate provider if it is genuinely better for our readers
If a hosting provider deteriorates in quality, we update our reviews accordingly — even if they are a top-paying affiliate.
5. FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We believe in being completely transparent about any financial relationships that may influence content on this site.
6. How Commissions Work
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase:
- You pay the same price as if you went directly to the provider’s website
- The hosting provider pays us a commission from their own margin
- This commission helps fund our independent testing, research, and site operations
- Without affiliate income, we could not provide free, detailed hosting reviews
7. Our Promise to You
We promise to:
- Always prioritize your interests over our commission income
- Clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links
- Update reviews regularly to reflect current performance and pricing
- Recommend the best hosting for your specific needs, regardless of commission
- Never fabricate reviews, ratings, or test results
