Can you promote in r/hosting?
r/Hosting is a community for discussion of web hosting services and providers. Shared hosting, WordPress , VPS, dedicated servers, cloud infrastructure, and anything else hosting related is welcome here.
The short answer
Participate as a regular community member, provide helpful, non-promotional answers, fully disclose any affiliation if recommending your service, and avoid links or overt marketing language absent prior permission.
What works here
- Answer technical questions and give neutral hosting advice
- Recommend providers when relevant with full disclosure of your affiliation
- Participate in discussions without promotional wording or ads
What gets posts removed
- Posting ads, product launches, or solicitations
- Using affiliate/referral links
- Astroturfing or hiding your relationship to a provider
- Asking users to DM you for business (private solicitations)
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo advertising or spamming
The rules explicitly prohibit advertising products or services in the subreddit.
No affiliate/referral links
Affiliate and referral links are disallowed and are auto-removed, so links meant to drive business are forbidden.
Disclosure required for recommendations
When recommending hosting providers you must disclose any connection to the company, meaning vendor replies are permitted only with transparency.
No private solicitations
Requests to move discussion to DMs or private solicitations are banned to keep help public and avoid covert recruitment.
Focus on neutral discussion
Sidebar and public description frame the community as for neutral hosting discussion, not a marketplace for companies.
