About HostingDiscounts.org

HostingDiscounts.org is an independent comparison and review site for VPS hosting, Minecraft server hosting, Windows VPS, Forex VPS, and managed cloud hosting. We are not affiliated with Hostinger, Cloudways, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, or any other provider unless we explicitly say so.

How we test

We run our own production infrastructure on Hetzner, Cloudways, and Hostinger. The benchmarks you see on this site are from real sites with real traffic — not from marketing decks or one-off synthetic tests.

How we rank

We use a transparent trust-broker funnel:

1. Hetzner first when it is genuinely the best value (most use cases for technically comfortable users).
2. Cloudways second when you want managed VPS hosting without server admin overhead. Cloudways supports AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr — it is not a Hetzner reseller.
3. Hostinger third when you value a bundled free domain or first-time-user pricing.

If a provider we don't earn commission from is the right answer for your use case, we'll tell you that too. We name names.

Affiliate relationships (disclosed)

This site contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you when you sign up through our links. Specifically:

• Hostinger — we are an approved affiliate (Hostinger International publisher account).
• Cloudways — we are an approved affiliate (publisher partner).
• Hetzner — we use the Hetzner referral program (mutual credit: you get $20 sign-up credit, we get $10 after you spend $10).

We disclose this on every page and never recommend a provider purely because of commission size.
