Affiliate policy and disclosure
We write about the pricing of services we use and calculate ourselves. Some provider links may become affiliate links in the future, and this page explains exactly what that means and what it does not.
What are affiliate links?
Transparency first: no affiliate partnership is active right now, and every provider link on the site points to the provider's official website without a commission identifier. If we activate a partnership in the future, we will say so on this page and in the site footer before using any affiliate link, and we may then earn a commission without increasing the price you pay. Provider and plan ordering is based on price and calculated specifications only. Prices are collected from public pricing pages and provider APIs and published automatically after passing the price guardrails; they may vary by region, taxes and promotions, so always verify the final price and terms with the provider before buying.
Does commission affect ranking?
No. Provider order on comparison pages is calculated from price and specs in USD. When comparing two plans, we pick the cheaper one that meets the minimum specs, then add extra costs in the calculator. Editor score is a separate, clearly disclosed editorial opinion, not a standardized technical metric.
If a provider does not offer an affiliate program — such as Oracle Cloud in our data — it still appears in comparisons the same way, and we may use the official site link instead of an affiliate link.
How do we choose providers?
- Real price coverage: actual published plans, not seasonal offers only.
- Cost transparency: backups, IP addresses, traffic, and setup fees.
- Geographic presence relevant to an Arabic-speaking audience, or exceptional value worth mentioning.
- Operational reputation and clear documentation, not just a low price.
What we don't do
- We don't put a provider first for a higher commission.
- We don't hide extra costs because they weaken the offer's appeal.
- We don't publish prices we can't verify; prices are estimates and labeled as such.
- We don't ask for payment details or interfere with the purchase process.
Price accuracy
We collect provider prices automatically from public pricing pages and provider APIs every six hours, and no change is published until it passes the guardrails, with a per-source verification log available. Prices are converted to USD at a reference rate (1 EUR ≈ 1.10 USD, updated 2026-11-14). Prices may vary by region, currency, taxes, and promotions. We use the renewal price for promotional plans in comparisons, and note that on the provider page. Always confirm the final price with the provider before buying.
Disclosure of current providers
No provider currently has an active affiliate link in our data. We use official website links and review partnerships periodically.
