Can you promote in r/webhosting?
This is a place to discuss everything related to web and cloud hosting. From shared hosting to bare metal servers, and everything in between. Post reviews of your current and past hosts, post questions to the community regarding your needs, or simply offer help to your fellow redditors.
The short answer
Participate as a helpful community member first, use the hosting questionnaire when relevant, avoid promotional language/links, and if you mention your company do so briefly and transparently without soliciting business (or buy ads).
What works here
- Answer technical questions and give unbiased recommendations
- Post reviews of hosts and past experiences
- Link to resources when clearly for help (no tracking/affiliate)
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional posts or solicitations for customers
- Using affiliate/referral/tracking/coupon links
- Saying 'DM me' to solicit work or leads
