The short version
rHomelab earns commissions from some of the links on this site, at no extra cost to you. That’s how the lights stay on and the content stays free.
How this works
When you click certain links on this site - for hardware, software, or services we’ve written about - and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission from the retailer or provider (for example, through the Amazon Associates program or vendor referral programs for self-hosted software and services). This comes at no additional cost to you; the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or not.
What this does and doesn’t affect
Affiliate relationships do not determine what we recommend. We write about hardware and software based on whether it’s actually good for the use case, not based on which program pays the highest commission. If something isn’t worth recommending, we say so, whether or not there’s a link attached to it.
Digital products
rHomelab also sells its own digital products (starter kits, configuration templates, and similar). These are clearly marked as products for sale, not disguised as independent reviews.
