Small Host Handbook is free to read. To pay for it, some guides may include affiliate links. If you click one and then buy or sign up, the company may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra.
How we handle affiliate links
- They’re labelled. Affiliate links are marked (affiliate), and each guide with affiliate links has a short disclosure near the first one.
- Free options come first. We list built-in and free options before any paid tool, whether or not there’s a commission.
- Commissions don’t buy coverage. A company can’t pay to be included, ranked higher or described more kindly. We don’t accept sponsored posts.
- We only describe what the vendor publishes. We don’t host or test tools hands-on, and we never claim to have used something we haven’t.
- We keep the number of links low. A guide usually has no more than about three affiliate links.
Current programs
As of October 23, 2026, we have not joined any affiliate programs. Links to tools on this site are plain links. When we join a program, we’ll list it here and label the links.
