Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

DNSLens is committed to transparency. This page discloses our affiliate relationships and explains how we earn revenue through affiliate marketing. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and similar regulations in other jurisdictions, we want you to understand our financial relationships with the products and services we recommend.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals from our website to a partner's website. When you click on an affiliate link on DNSLens and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the sale. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor's website.

Our Affiliate Partners

DNSLens participates in affiliate programs with the following companies. We may earn commissions when you purchase products or services through our links:

  • NordVPN — Virtual private network (VPN) services for online privacy and security.
  • NordPass — Password manager for secure credential storage.
  • MailerLite — Email marketing platform for newsletters and email campaigns.

This list may be updated as we add or remove affiliate partnerships. We only partner with companies whose products and services we believe provide genuine value to our users.

How We Choose Products to Recommend

We recommend products based on their quality, relevance to our audience, and usefulness for DNS, domain management, web security, and related topics. While we do earn commissions from affiliate sales, our recommendations are not solely based on commission rates. We prioritise products that we believe will genuinely help our users.

Our editorial content and tool recommendations are independent of our affiliate relationships. We strive to provide accurate, helpful information regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with a particular company.

Identifying Affiliate Content

To help you identify affiliate content on our site:

  • Advertisements are marked with an "Ad" label.
  • Affiliate links in articles may include disclosures such as "affiliate link" or similar language.
  • Banner advertisements displayed on our site are paid placements from our affiliate partners.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

DNSLens provides many free tools and educational resources. Affiliate commissions help us:

  • Cover hosting and infrastructure costs.
  • Develop new free tools and features.
  • Create educational content about DNS, domain management, and web security.
  • Maintain and improve existing tools and services.

Your support through affiliate purchases helps us continue providing free resources to the community.

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer not to support us through affiliate purchases, you can always navigate directly to the vendor's website. We appreciate your support, but we understand if you choose not to use affiliate links.
