Running a library of free tools costs real money: hosting, development time and ongoing review. One of the ways the site is funded is through affiliate relationships with hosting and domain providers. This page explains exactly how those links work so you can make an informed decision before you click or buy.
What is the commercial relationship?
Some hosting and domain links on this site contain affiliate identifiers. If you follow an eligible link and make a qualifying purchase, Sharjeel Tahir may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the provider's normal price; the commission comes out of the provider's margin, not your pocket. Affiliate links are labeled beside purchase controls and use rel="sponsored" link attributes so search engines and tools can identify them correctly.
How do I read the shortlist?
The hosting page groups providers by use case and hosting model — managed WordPress for a business site, team workflows, straightforward packages, or more infrastructure control. That grouping is a starting shortlist, not a benchmark study, not a complete market comparison, and not a promise that one provider is best for every website. A provider's inclusion is not evidence that your exact site has been tested on it, and the shortlist deliberately avoids invented scores or rankings.
What should I know before purchasing?
Always check the final price, renewal rate, taxes, resource limits, data center choices, backup retention and cancellation terms on the provider's own website before you buy. Promotions and plan features change frequently, and the provider's checkout page is the authoritative source — not a summary written weeks or months earlier. If you prefer, you can visit any provider directly without using this site's referral link; nothing on the site depends on it.
Watch for two common traps: headline prices that exclude taxes or require multi-year prepayment, and "unlimited" plans with fair-use limits buried in the terms. The provider's checkout page and terms — not a summary anywhere else — are what you are actually agreeing to.
Separate services
The provider bills for hosting and controls the subscription: renewals, refunds, cancellations and account support are between you and the provider. Any migration, configuration or troubleshooting work agreed with Sharjeel Tahir is a separate service with its own scope and terms — see pricing and cancellations. Buying hosting through a referral link does not transfer billing control to this site, and project work is never conditional on using a particular link.

Frequently asked questions
Do affiliate links cost me extra?
No. The price you pay is the provider’s normal price; any commission is paid by the provider out of its own margin. Checking the provider’s checkout page before buying is still wise, since promotions and renewal rates change.
How are affiliate links labeled?
They are labeled beside purchase controls (for example, “Affiliate link · Opens provider website”) and carry rel="sponsored nofollow" attributes. Display advertising is separate — see the advertising policy.
Is the hosting shortlist a ranking?
No. It groups providers by use case as a comparison starting point. It is not a benchmark study, there are no invented scores, and inclusion is not a claim that your specific site was tested on a provider.
Can I buy without using the referral link?
Yes. Visit the provider directly whenever you prefer. Nothing on this site — tools, guides or services — depends on you using a referral link.
Who handles refunds for hosting I bought?
The hosting provider does: billing, renewals, cancellations and provider refunds are between you and them. Project work with Sharjeel Tahir is a separate service with its own terms.
