Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to ColdWebHost.net. We believe in transparency and honesty when it comes to our relationship with our audience. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, this page explains how we earn money and how it affects the content you see on this website.

1. What is an Affiliate Link?

Throughout this website, you will find links to domain registrars and web hosting providers. Many of these are "affiliate links." This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase (such as buying a domain name or a hosting plan), we may receive a small commission from the provider.

Crucially, this happens at no additional cost to you. In many cases, our relationships allow us to provide you with special discounts or promotional offers that you might not find elsewhere.

2. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running ColdWebHost.net requires significant resources, including server costs, domain renewals, and the time required to research, test, and write high-quality guides. The commissions we earn allow us to keep this website 100% free for our readers while maintaining the quality of our content.

3. Our Editorial Integrity

Our mission is to help you find the best hosting solutions for your needs. While we receive compensation for many of the products we recommend, our reviews and recommendations are based on our own research, testing, and honest opinions.

• Honest Reviews: We do not accept payment for positive reviews. If a hosting service is slow or has poor customer support, we will tell you.

• Independent Rankings: Compensation does not dictate our rankings. We prioritize performance, security, and value for money over the size of a commission.

• User First: We only promote products that we believe provide genuine value to our community.

4. Which Programs Do We Participate In?

ColdWebHost.net is a participant in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

• [List specific partners here, e.g., Bluehost, SiteGround, Namecheap, etc.]

• Other niche domain and hosting referral programs.

5. Your Support

By using our affiliate links, you are helping support ColdWebHost.net so we can continue to provide free hosting advice, tutorials, and domain tips. We truly appreciate your support!

💡 Important: The "In-Post" Blurb

The FTC requires that a disclosure be "clear and conspicuous" and placed before the reader clicks a link. You should place a small box or a line of text at the very top of your blog posts or hosting reviews:

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase of domain hosting or other services, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. [Learn more about our affiliate policy here (link to the page above)].

Best Practices for ColdWebHost.net:

• Placement: Put the short disclosure above the fold (before the reader has to scroll).

• Visibility: Use a font size similar to your body text. Don't use "light grey" text that blends into the background.

• Honesty: If you haven't personally used a host, it’s best to state that your review is based on "aggregated research and performance data" to maintain trust.
