Affiliate disclosure

FreeHost Report is reader-supported, and we want you to see exactly how. The subject of this site is free web hosting, and by definition the free hosts we recommend do not pay us — most of them run no affiliate program at all. That is deliberate. It means we can name the right free host for you with no financial reason to prefer one over another.

Where the money comes from

We earn a commission only in one situation: when a reader who has genuinely outgrown free hosting follows one of our clearly marked links to a paid host — such as Hostinger, DreamHost, GreenGeeks or Namecheap — and buys a plan. The host pays us a referral fee at no extra cost to you; you pay the same price you would have anyway. Those are the only links on this site we are paid for, and we mark each one as an affiliate link where it appears.

How affiliate links are handled

Every paid link on this site points through our own /go/ redirect and carries a "sponsored nofollow" tag, so search engines and readers alike can see it is a commercial link. Free hosts never get a /go/ link — they are named as plain editorial text, because we earn nothing on them and want that to be obvious. If a link takes you to a free host, no money changes hands, full stop.

What the money does not buy

A commission never buys a ranking, a rating or a soft edge in a verdict. Our advice is the same whether or not a host pays us — which is why we spend most of this site telling you to stay on free hosting for as long as it genuinely fits, and only pay when it does not. You can see that logic in the best free web hosting ranking, where the top picks are the ones that pay us nothing. As required by the FTC, this is our disclosure that the site contains affiliate links.
