Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-06-17

The short version

Some articles on Cloud Geeks Insights contain affiliate links to products and services we use on real client projects — primarily web hosting, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools. If you click one of these links and end up buying or signing up, we may receive a commission. You don't pay anything extra.

What we recommend, and why

We only recommend products we either (a) currently use on Cosmos Web Tech client deployments, (b) have stress-tested against Australian small-business workloads, or (c) have first-hand experience with on internal projects.

Our reviews are independent of any commercial relationship. If a service we recommend has shortcomings, we say so in the article — even when an affiliate link sits underneath. We don't take payment for positive reviews and we don't accept gifts in exchange for coverage.

How affiliate links are marked

Every affiliate link on this site:

  • Carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" so search engines and your browser know it's a paid relationship.
  • Opens in a new tab.
  • Lives inside an article that begins with a clearly visible disclosure block at the top.

  • Kinsta — managed WordPress hosting on Google Cloud.
