Affiliate disclosure

Last updated: 16 October 2026. The list of programs below is recomputed on every site update, from the links actually published.

Selfhostr is funded by affiliate links. This page explains which links are affiliated, how we are paid, and how we disclose them.

How an affiliate link works

If you click an affiliate link and then buy or subscribe at the merchant, the merchant may pay us a commission — at no extra cost to you, exactly the same price as usual. The merchant recognises the link through our ID, listed below for each program.

Amazon

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

On selfhostr.com, Amazon links point to amazon.com with our tag selfhostr-20. The tag selfhostr-21 only applies to amazon.fr links. The price and availability that apply are those on the Amazon listing at the time of your purchase. We do not display copied product images.

How we disclose them

A notice at the top of every article says it may contain affiliate links and links to this page.
Product cards carry the "Affiliate links" label.
Affiliate links carry the rel="sponsored" attribute, which flags them as commercial links to search engines.

Non-affiliate links

All other external links — open-source projects, official documentation, hosts and services not listed above — are plain direct links, with no affiliate ID and no commission. We apply to other programs: an affiliate link is only added once the program has approved us, and it then shows up in the list above.

How we decide what we recommend

No partner pays to appear in our comparisons or to be ranked higher. We never adjust a ranking to favour a better-paying partner.

What we never do

Publish a sponsored article presented as editorial content.
Change a ranking after receiving money or hardware.
Hide information that is unfavourable to a partner.

Regulatory compliance

FTC (United States) — disclosure visible, clear, and placed before affiliate links.
ARPP (France) — transparency about the commercial nature of the content.
EU — DSA / DMA — fair consumer information.
Amazon Operating Agreement — partnership statement shown above and on every page containing an Amazon link.
