This page exists so you can decide how much weight to give anything you read here. It is written by Marcos Bustos, who is the only person publishing on this site.
1. First hand, or clearly labelled
An article describes a provider first hand only when I hold and pay for the account: Hostinger shared hosting, a Hostinger KVM 1 VPS, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, and domains at DonDominio and IONOS. Anything else is a desk comparison. When it is a desk comparison the article says so in plain words, names the page I took the information from, and gives the date I read it. I do not describe a provider’s support, uptime or dashboard unless I have used it.
2. How the numbers are produced
- Response time. Measured with curl from a home fibre line in Valencia, Spain, against the home page of sites I run. Five readings per site and mode on the stated day, both as a plain request and with a cache-busting parameter, and I publish the median, never a single lucky reading. A measurement taken on one day is a snapshot, not a long-term benchmark, and the article says so.
- Caching. Checked on the response headers, which is how I found out that page caching was not actually active on my own blogs.
- Uptime. No uptime figure is published on this site until I have at least thirty days of monitoring data for that site. Until then, articles do not quote uptime percentages.
- Page speed and Core Web Vitals. Google PageSpeed Insights, run on a stated date, mobile and desktop reported separately.
These are measurements of my sites on my plans from one location. Your plan, your site and your country will give different numbers, and every article says which site and plan a number came from.
3. Prices
Every price carries the date it was checked and, whenever the provider charges one, the renewal price. Introductory hosting prices are marketing; the renewal is the real cost. Currency and billing term are always stated.
4. How AI is used here
I use AI tools, mainly Claude Code, for outlines, first drafts, editing passes and code. I do not use them as a source. Every article is read line by line, corrected and signed off by me before it goes out, and every claim of the form “I used”, “I measured” or “I paid” comes from my own accounts, invoices and data files, never from a model.
This matters because I got it wrong before. Earlier versions of this site were mass produced from templates, with fake testing claims and an author who did not exist. Those articles have been deleted or rewritten from scratch, and the ones that were too thin to save were unpublished rather than padded out. If you find a leftover, please report it.
5. Updates and corrections
Each article shows when it was published and when it was last updated. Prices and plans are rechecked when a provider changes them. If you report a mistake through the contact page, I fix it in the article itself, change the “Updated” date and, when the correction is substantial, say what changed.
6. Advertising and affiliate links
The site is set up to carry ads from Google AdSense, which has not approved it yet, and it takes part in one referral programme: Hostinger’s. That referral link appears in four posts, always inside a box that names it as a referral link and explains that the reader gets 20% off and I get a 20% commission. It carries rel=”sponsored nofollow”. Every other outbound link, including the pricing pages I cite as sources, carries rel=”nofollow” and no tracking ID.
What that money never buys: a recommendation, a position in a list, or a review before publication. No company sees an article before it goes live. I do not click the ads on my own pages, I never ask readers to click them, and I do not buy traffic to this site.
7. Things you will not find here
- Benchmarks, ratings or “we tested” claims for tests that never happened.
- Invented authors, invented teams or a “we” that is really one person.
- Income promises, earnings screenshots or anything shaped like a get-rich-quick pitch.
- A link labelled as one company that quietly goes to another.
