Terms of Service.
01Acceptance
These Terms govern your use of GrabYourDot ("we," "us," "the site"). By visiting the site, signing up for the newsletter, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to these Terms. If you don't, please don't use the site.
If you're acting on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.
02Eligibility & age
You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to interact with the site. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under that age.
03What GrabYourDot is
GrabYourDot is an independent directory of web hosting providers and domain registrars. We publish rankings, reviews, methodology, and pricing data based on our own research and benchmarks.
We are not a hosting provider, registrar, or marketplace. We don't operate any of the providers we list, and we have no contractual control over what those providers offer or charge.
04Affiliate links & commissions
Many outbound links on the site are affiliate links — if you click through and buy something, we may earn a commission. We disclose this on every review page and in the site footer.
Earning a commission does not change our rankings or scores. Providers cannot pay to be listed, promoted, or moved up. Our scoring methodology is published on the homepage and we update it openly.
05Reviews, scores & opinions
Reviews and scores reflect our opinion at the time of writing, based on the benchmark data and editorial process described in our methodology. They are not financial, legal, or technical advice.
Pricing, features, support quality, and infrastructure change over time — sometimes between when we publish and when you read. Always verify the current offering on the provider's own site before purchasing.
06Accounts & newsletter
If we offer account signups or a newsletter, you're responsible for the email address and any credentials you provide. Don't impersonate anyone, don't share access, and let us know promptly if you suspect your account is compromised.
07Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Scrape, mirror, or systematically copy the site without written permission.
- Attempt to break, probe, or reverse-engineer the site's security.
- Submit false, defamatory, or unlawful content (including via newsletter replies).
- Use automated systems to inflate clicks on affiliate links.
- Interfere with other people's use of the site.
08Intellectual property
The site's design, original written content, brand marks, and code are owned by GrabYourDot. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back.
Provider names, logos, and trademarks are owned by their respective companies. We use them under nominative fair use to identify the providers we cover.
09Third-party services
Outbound links lead to third-party sites we don't control. Their terms and privacy practices apply once you leave us. We're not responsible for what happens after you click through.
10Disclaimers
The site is provided "as is" and "as available"without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do our best to keep data accurate, but we don't guarantee it. Always verify pricing, terms, and technical claims with the provider directly.
11Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, GrabYourDot and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or any provider you find through it. Our total aggregate liability is limited to USD $100.
12Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the site or your violation of these Terms.
13Disputes & governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [Your State], USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Disputes will be resolved through binding individual arbitration where permitted. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by emailing the contact address below. Class actions are not permitted.
14Changes
We may update these Terms when the site or applicable law changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
