Affiliate Disclosure
Hosting Stack UK may earn a commission when visitors follow certain links and purchase or sign up for a product or service. This page explains how those links work and how we approach recommendations.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price paid by the visitor. Affiliate commissions can help support the continued development of our hosting guides, reviews and educational resources.
What This Means For You
If you use an affiliate link on this website and complete a qualifying purchase or registration, Hosting Stack UK may receive a commission from the provider. The price you pay will normally remain the same.
These commissions help support the operation and continued development of the website.
Affiliate Disclosure
This website may contain affiliate links. This means Hosting Stack UK may earn a commission if you click certain links and make a qualifying purchase or sign up for a service.
This will normally come at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate commissions help support the operation and development of this website and allow us to continue creating research-led content, guides and recommendations for visitors.
We aim to recommend products and services that may provide value based on our research, evaluation and understanding of their relevance to online businesses, website owners and developers.
Our recommendations are intended to help visitors make better-informed decisions. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not remove our responsibility to explain important limitations, suitability concerns or alternative considerations.
Visitors should always assess a product or service according to their own requirements, budget and goals before purchasing.
How Affiliate Links Work
Step 1: A Link Is Clearly Presented
Some buttons or text links may direct visitors to a third-party provider.
Step 2: The Visitor Chooses Whether to Continue
Using an affiliate link is optional. Visitors may review the provider directly or choose a different service.
Step 3: A Qualifying Action May Take Place
If the visitor purchases or signs up after following an eligible link, the provider may record the referral.
Step 4: The Website May Receive Commission
The provider may pay Hosting Stack UK a commission without normally adding an extra charge to the visitor’s purchase.
How We Make Recommendations
The recommendations published on this website are based on independent research, practical evaluation and careful consideration of the features, performance and overall value of the tools and services discussed.
Our aim is to assess solutions using factors that matter to online businesses, website owners and developers, including speed, security, reliability, scalability, support quality and long-term usability.
Every website and business has different needs. For that reason, our content is designed to provide balanced insights rather than one-size-fits-all recommendations.
Where possible, we aim to highlight both the advantages and limitations of the products and services we discuss. This allows visitors to make decisions based on their own goals, technical requirements and budgets.
Affiliate relationships do not remove our commitment to clear disclosure, careful research and balanced presentation.
What We Consider
- Performance
- Whether the service is designed to support fast and consistent website performance.
- Reliability
- How the service approaches availability, infrastructure and ongoing operation.
- Security
- The protective features, backups, monitoring and recovery options included.
- Scalability
- Whether the service can support increasing traffic, websites or technical demands.
- Support
- The availability, relevance and expected quality of customer or technical assistance.
- Ease of Management
- How simple the platform is to configure, maintain and use.
- Pricing and Value
- How the cost compares with the features, support and intended audience.
- Suitability
- Which types of users, websites or businesses are most likely to receive meaningful value.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Hosting Stack UK aims to make affiliate relationships visible and understandable.
Where affiliate links are used, we aim to provide an appropriate disclosure close to the relevant content as well as this full disclosure page.
We also aim to distinguish between factual information, general guidance and our own evaluation of a product’s suitability.
Affiliate commissions may support the website, but visitors should never feel pressured to purchase a service that does not meet their needs.
If a lower-cost option, different type of hosting or alternative solution may be more suitable, our content should make that clear.
Our Transparency Commitments
- Display affiliate disclosures clearly
- Discuss relevant limitations
- Avoid fabricated urgency
- Avoid guaranteed results
- Encourage visitors to confirm current details
- Recommend according to likely suitability
- Correct material inaccuracies when identified
