Our editorial standard is workload-first. We define the application, traffic pattern, operating skill, support needs, recovery objective, and budget model before recommending a hosting approach.
We do not claim firsthand testing unless a page explicitly documents what was tested, when, with what configuration, and under what workload. Merchant claims are identified as such. Prices, plan limits, promotions, and product capabilities are treated as changeable information and should be checked against current vendor documentation.
Affiliate relationships may influence which merchants we can monetize, but they do not change the requirement to describe trade-offs and alternatives. We prefer an accurate “not a fit” conclusion over a universal recommendation.
