Summary
Effective date: · Last updated:
HostDuel is reader-supported. Some links on our Site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy a product or service, we may earn a commission. This never costs you anything extra. The price you pay is the same as (or sometimes lower than) going to the provider directly.
How we make money
We may participate in affiliate programs run by hosting providers or by affiliate networks. When a purchase is made through one of our links, the program pays us a commission. Buttons and links that lead to providers (such as “Visit SiteGround” or “Visit Hostinger”) should be assumed to be affiliate links. They are marked with rel="sponsored" in our code.
We also run paid advertising (for example on Google) to bring visitors to our comparisons.
Editorial independence
- Providers cannot pay to change our scores, rankings or verdicts.
- Providers do not review or approve our content before it is published.
- We include both strengths and weaknesses of every provider, including higher renewal prices or missing features.
- We may earn different commissions from different providers. This does not influence which provider we recommend for a given use case.
Our scores are editorial opinions based on publicly available information from the providers’ official websites. See how we compare hosts.
No affiliation with the companies we review
Being part of an affiliate program does not make us a partner, agent, reseller or representative of any provider. We are not authorized to speak for SiteGround, Hostinger or any other company, and we cannot help with their billing, accounts or technical support. Please contact the provider directly for those matters.
Trademarks
SiteGround®, Hostinger® and any other names, logos and brands on this Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and comparison purposes only.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), and with similar consumer protection rules in other countries, such as the UK CAP Code.
