Affiliate Disclosure
I use affiliate links on some HostFinder pages. If you visit a provider through one of those links and later buy a service, HostFinder may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

The important part: an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a company will be listed, does not turn an unverified claim into a verified one, and does not prevent HostFinder from including providers that have no affiliate program at all.
How the site is funded
Affiliate commissions help cover hosting, tools, research time, test accounts and the cost of maintaining HostFinder.ca.
Some providers have affiliate relationships with HostFinder and some do not. Non-affiliate providers can still be included when they meet the directory criteria.
What an affiliate link means
Commercial provider buttons may use an internal HostFinder redirect before sending you to the provider's website. Those outbound links are marked as sponsored where appropriate.
The provider controls its own checkout, pricing, taxes, plan availability, renewal terms and eligibility requirements. Always confirm the final terms before ordering.
Editorial separation
I research company ownership, addresses, infrastructure, ASN and network records, Canadian locations, pricing and support separately from whether a provider pays a referral commission.
HostFinder is not a pay-to-list directory. A larger commission does not make a company more Canadian, change its infrastructure model or erase limitations that are relevant to readers.
Pricing and promotions
Hosting prices change frequently. HostFinder records pricing as an editorial snapshot and may also show a provider-level starting price in the directory. The provider's live checkout is the final source for the amount you will actually pay.
An affiliate link does not necessarily mean the linked price is lower than the provider's public price. Promotions, billing terms and renewal rates can change independently of HostFinder.
Questions or corrections
If you have a question about an affiliate relationship, believe a disclosure is unclear, or notice a provider detail that needs correcting, contact me.
