Disclaimer and affiliate disclosure
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the vendor pays me a commission. The price you pay is the same. This is how the site covers the cost of the hardware it runs on.
Posts that contain affiliate links carry a disclosure line directly under the title, before any link appears. If a post has no disclosure line, it has no affiliate links.

| PartnerStack | SaaS and hosting plans (for example VPS providers). | Programme-specific, usually 30–60 days |
| Vendor programmes | Tools that run their own affiliate scheme, such as object storage. | Programme-specific |

What the money does not buy
- A verdict. Tools I have affiliate links for are criticised in the same posts.
- Coverage. There are reviews here of tools with no affiliate programme at all.
- Pre-publication review. No vendor sees a post before it goes live.
- Rankings in "best of" lists — those are ordered by what worked, and the criteria are in the post.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is medical, legal, tax or investment advice. Self-hosting guides are technical documentation of what worked on my hardware; your environment will differ, and versions move. Test destructive commands somewhere disposable before pointing them at data you care about.
No warranty
Commands and configurations are provided as-is. I test them, but I cannot test your setup. If following a guide costs you data or uptime, that is on the change you made, not on this page — take a snapshot first. That advice is the whole reason this site exists.
Prices and versions
Prices, plan names and software versions are correct at the time of writing and are not updated automatically. When a post's pricing or version is more than a few months old, the date at the top of the post reflects it.
