Affiliate disclosure
Transparency about how this site is funded, per FTC guidance.
flowsmithy is free to read. Some links to hosting providers are affiliate links: if you sign up through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes which provider best fits a given workload — recommendations are driven by specs, price, and our methodology, not by commission.
Which links are affiliate links
| Provider | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Contabo | Affiliate link (we earn a commission) |
| DigitalOcean | Affiliate link (we earn a commission) |
| Vultr | Affiliate link (we earn a commission) |
| Hetzner | Editorial only — no affiliate link. We still recommend it on merit. |
Affiliate links carry a rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute and are marked
in tables and the calculator. We may also participate in the n8n and Make.com affiliate
programs for related tooling. We never recommend a product solely because it pays a
commission.
Pricing & benchmarks
Prices are approximate and change frequently — always confirm on the provider's site. Performance figures labelled estimate are derived from documented specs and community reports; figures labelled measured come from our own reproducible tests. We never present an estimate as a measured benchmark.
