Affiliate Disclosure & Transparency Statement

Last revised: October 2026 • Compliant with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides (16 CFR Part 255)

The Short & Honest Summary:

ServerCraft & WebHost Hub is an independently owned publication. When you click on links to web hosting providers (such as Hostinger or Contabo) on our site and make a purchase, we may receive compensation or referral fees from those companies. This happens at no extra cost to you.

1. Our Relationship with Web Hosting Providers

We participate in affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:

  • Hostinger Affiliate Program (operated directly or via impact.com / CJ Affiliate)
  • Contabo Affiliate Program (Contabo GmbH)

As an affiliate, we receive a commission when a visitor signs up for a hosting package, cloud VPS, domain name, or related web service through our tracking links.

2. Zero Cost to You (Often Cheaper!)

Using our affiliate links will never inflate the price of any service you buy. In fact, because of our direct agreements and high-volume partnerships, our links frequently grant you access to special introductory rates, promo discounts, and free add-ons (such as free domain registration or SSL certificates) that are not available to direct site visitors.

3. Our Editorial Independence & Testing Standards

We pride ourselves on brutal honesty and data-driven evaluation:

  • Real Server Testing: We pay for hosting plans, deploy test servers, and run rigorous benchmarks using tools like Geekbench, K6, TTFB monitors, and GTmetrix.
  • No Paid Positive Reviews: Neither Hostinger, Contabo, nor any other provider pays us to write glowing reviews. If a server has poor customer support or high renewal spikes, we clearly document it in our Cons section.
  • Reader Interest First: If a host is bad for beginners (for example, an unmanaged Contabo VPS for an absolute novice), we explicitly tell our readers to choose a managed provider like Hostinger instead.

4. Identification of Affiliate Links

To maintain transparency:

  • All affiliate links on our site are tagged with the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute in accordance with Google Webmaster and FTC regulations.
  • Articles containing commercial links display a visible notification banner at the very top of the page.

5. Questions or Feedback?
