Affiliate Disclosure
The Minecraft Hosting website was created as an independent resource where we publish objective reviews of game servers and hosting providers that work with Minecraft and other online projects. We aim to share verified information and help players choose reliable platforms.
To support the website and publish new content, we use affiliate links. Below we explain how this works and what it means for you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a form of cooperation between companies and websites that allows the website to receive a reward for referring customers. If you click such a link and rent a server from a hosting provider, Minecraft Hosting may receive a small commission from the company.
Nothing changes for you:
- the price stays the same;
- the commission is paid from the company’s advertising budget, not from your pocket;
- there are no hidden markups or extra fees.
Does This Affect Our Rankings?
No. All reviews and comparisons are based on objective criteria such as speed, reliability, support quality, server locations, and player feedback. We do not sell positions in rankings and we do not publish sponsored or “made-to-order” reviews.
Most companies work with us on the same terms, which helps avoid bias and keeps our evaluations fair.
Why We Chose This Model
There are different ways to monetize websites: ads, paid subscriptions, donations. We chose the affiliate model because it:
- does not annoy visitors with pop-up banners;
- does not slow down page loading;
- keeps all materials free to access.
Affiliate links help support the project without interfering with a comfortable browsing experience.
How to Recognize an Affiliate Link
Sometimes a link may contain special parameters (for example, ref, partner, utm). They are only used to track referrals. These tags do not affect security, do not transmit personal data, and do not change the content of the destination page.
Why We Disclose This Openly
We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. If we expect honesty from hosting companies, we must follow the same principles ourselves. A clear explanation of affiliate terms helps protect our reputation as a reliable resource and shows that our reviews remain independent.
What This Means for Readers
By using our links, you do not pay extra. Sometimes we even negotiate discounts or bonuses for users who come through Minecraft Hosting.
By supporting the project, you help us publish more honest and useful reviews for the Minecraft community.
