Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency matters. This page explains how this website is funded and how we handle product and pricing information.
Our affiliate relationship
CloudDeals Hub is an independent, reader-supported website. We participate in the Alibaba Cloud affiliate (ambassador) program. When you click certain links on this site and then sign up or make a purchase on the Alibaba Cloud website, we may earn a commission.
This happens at no extra cost to you. You pay exactly the same price — including any free trial credits, free-tier offers or discounts — whether you use our links or go to Alibaba Cloud directly.
How we mark affiliate links
Outbound links that can earn us a commission are marked in two ways:
- A visible "Affiliate link" label near buttons and calls to action.
- The
rel="sponsored"attribute in the page code, following search engine guidelines for paid or affiliate links.
Links to our own internal guides and to non-commercial resources are not affiliate links.
Our independence
CloudDeals Hub is not owned, operated, endorsed or sponsored by Alibaba Cloud or Alibaba Group. All opinions, comparisons and recommendations on this site are our own. Alibaba Cloud and related product names (ECS, Qwen, Model Studio, PAI, OSS and others) are trademarks of Alibaba Group, used here only to identify the products being discussed.
Earning commissions does not change what we write. We aim to describe each product's genuine strengths and trade-offs, and we point out when a cheaper or simpler option may fit better — for example, our comparison of ECS vs Simple Application Server.
Pricing & accuracy disclaimer
Cloud pricing, free trial credits, free-tier eligibility and promotional offers change frequently and can vary by region and account type. All prices and offer details on this site (such as "from $4/month" or "$1,700 in trial credits") are indicative starting points at the time of writing, not guaranteed quotes.
- Always confirm current pricing and terms on the official Alibaba Cloud website before purchasing.
- Free trial and free-tier availability is determined solely by Alibaba Cloud's current promotion terms and eligibility rules.
- Information on this site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, and does not constitute financial or professional advice.
