The Short Version: CloudHostSphere.com earns commissions when you click our links and purchase a hosting plan. This never changes what we write — but you deserve to know.
1. Who We Are
CloudHostSphere.com is an independent blog that publishes reviews, comparisons, tutorials, and roundup articles about cloud hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS hosting, and related web infrastructure products. We are based in Gurgaon, Haryana, India and serve a global audience.
2. How Affiliate Relationships Work
CloudHostSphere.com participates in affiliate and referral programs offered by hosting companies. When you click a link on our site and complete a qualifying action — such as purchasing a hosting plan, signing up for a trial, or upgrading an account — we may receive a commission or referral payment from that company.
- Commissions are paid by the hosting provider, not by you.
- The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or navigate directly.
- In some cases, our affiliate links unlock exclusive discounts not available elsewhere.
- Commission amounts vary by provider and plan type. We do not publicly disclose specific commission rates as these are governed by individual program agreements.

4. Does This Affect Our Reviews?
We take editorial independence seriously. Our reviews are based on:
- Hands-on testing with real accounts and deployments
- Performance benchmarks using tools such as GTmetrix, Pingdom, and K6
- Uptime monitoring over 30–60 day periods
- Direct support interactions
- Publicly available feature and pricing data
- User feedback and community data
Affiliate relationships do not determine our ratings, rankings, or editorial conclusions. We cover both the strengths and weaknesses of every provider we test. A provider we are affiliated with may receive a negative review if our testing supports that outcome. Providers not in our affiliate program may be featured positively.
That said, you should be aware that:
- We may naturally write more content about providers we are affiliated with, since those relationships often provide us with better testing access and resources.
- Providers with higher commission rates are not ranked higher as a result.
- Our “Best of” and roundup articles represent our genuine assessments, but we recommend you supplement our findings with your own research before making a purchasing decision.
5. FTC & International Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with:
- United States: FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, 16 C.F.R. Part 255
- United Kingdom: ASA/CAP Code on Endorsements and Affiliate Marketing
- European Union: EU Directive 2005/29/EC on Unfair Commercial Practices
- India: Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Guidelines on Endorsements and Disclosures, 2021
Where required by applicable law, affiliate link disclosures also appear at the top of individual articles and review pages.
6. How to Identify Affiliate Links
Most outbound links to hosting providers on this site are affiliate links. We do not always visually distinguish affiliate links from non-affiliate links. If you want to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, feel free to contact us.
7. Sponsored Content
Occasionally, a hosting provider may pay us to create a dedicated article, review, or feature. Any such content will be clearly labeled “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top of the page. Sponsored content does not guarantee a positive editorial outcome — we retain full editorial control over all content we publish, including sponsored pieces.
8. No Additional Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. In many cases, our affiliate partnerships allow us to negotiate exclusive discounts for our readers. The commission we earn comes from the hosting provider’s marketing budget, not from your purchase price.
