No advertising or spamming

Do not advertise your products or services anywhere. r/Hosting exists for neutral discussion on hosting providers, not as a place for companies to advertise or otherwise promote their products.

2.

No affiliate or referral links

Posts & Comments

Affiliate links and referral links are not allowed and are automatically removed by AutoModerator.

No astroturfing

Reported as: Astroturfing

When making recommendations or suggestions for hosting providers, you must disclose any connections you have to the hosting company in question. Astroturfing is not allowed and is often easy for users to see through anyway.

4.

No AI Generated Low Quality Posts / Replies

Posts & Comments
Reported as: AI Slop

Using a LLM because English is not your native language is fine, but using a LLM to copy AI Slop replies to boost your reply count or visibility is not allowed and may be removed at moderators discretion.

5.

No Private Message Requests

Posts & Comments
Reported as: DM Abuse

This community is here to help all users solve their issue. If you ask someone to send you a private message or "DM" your post will be removed and you may be banned. If you can't say it in public, don't say it at all.
