Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages on No Sheet Numbers — including the Hosting Requirements Calculator — show specific providers or products after a calculator produces its result. Some of the links to those providers are affiliate links: if you sign up or buy through one, No Sheet Numbers may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you.
The result comes first
Every calculator on this site determines its result — a hosting category, a rate, an estimate — from the facts you enter, before any specific provider is considered. Affiliate relationships never change that result, and they never change which options are shown as compatible or incompatible with what you described. A provider that pays us nothing can still be shown; a provider we do have an affiliate relationship with is never shown, or shown ahead of a better fit, because of that relationship.
How a card is labeled
Every provider card is labeled with its actual commercial status:
- Affiliate link — we have an active, approved affiliate relationship with this provider, and the link carries tracking that can earn us a commission.
- Not an affiliate link — we have no commercial relationship with this provider. It's shown because it's a strong fit, not because we're compensated for it.
- No tag at all — we don't yet have a resolved affiliate relationship with this provider (an application hasn't been submitted, or is still pending). The link goes to the provider's own site, not a tracking link, and nothing about the card implies a relationship that doesn't yet exist.
What ordering is, and isn't, based on
Where more than one provider is shown for the same result, the order reflects product fit — how well each one matches what you described — not commission size, payout structure, or whether a relationship exists at all. Commission amounts and similar commercial terms are never published on this site and never used to decide which providers appear or in what order.
Regulated or sensitive data
If you indicated your project involves regulated or sensitive data, provider recommendations are suppressed entirely for that result. Provider contracts and security/compliance obligations vary too much by situation for a general calculator to responsibly point you toward a specific vendor in that case.
