At CloudwaysReviews, audience trust is essential. We’re committed to publishing accurate, fair, and balanced content about cloud hosting and related tech, and we hold ourselves to high standards across everything we publish.
Commitment to accuracy
“Due accuracy” means more than meeting basic journalistic norms. It means you can rely on our work with confidence. Before we publish, we consider topic complexity, the type of information, and reasonable reader expectations.
Thorough investigation
We aim to present the most accurate account possible. Our team reviews primary materials (docs, changelogs, benchmarks), consults relevant sources, and questions assumptions. If some details remain uncertain after reasonable effort, we say so rather than overstate.
Standards vary by content type
Fact-checking depth depends on the format. A quick tip, a how-to, a pricing explainer, and an investigative piece require different sourcing. We adapt our approach while keeping accuracy non-negotiable.
Guidelines for ensuring accuracy
- Reliable sources: We base coverage on verifiable, trustworthy sources. If primary sources aren’t available, we credit the original outlet.
- Verification of claims: Statements or data from companies, public authorities, or organizations are independently checked wherever possible. If something can’t be verified, we disclose that clearly.
- Corrections: Inaccuracies are corrected promptly and transparently (see our Corrections Policy).
- No misinformation: We do not mislead, alter, or fabricate information. Significant errors are acknowledged and fixed without delay.
- Reader feedback: Every article invites readers to suggest corrections. You can always email us with specifics.
Fact-checking methodology
- Editorial review: Each article goes through internal fact-checking, followed by review by one or more editors depending on sensitivity and complexity.
- Source engagement: When appropriate, we contact relevant parties for comment or clarification and note outreach when it adds context.
- Expert input: We consult subject-matter experts when needed and document the basis for key conclusions.
Information sources
- Two-source preference: When feasible, important facts are confirmed with at least two independent sources. Single-source claims receive extra scrutiny.
- Documents over anecdotes: We prioritize documentation, public records, technical notes, logs, and repeatable tests over unverified statements.
- Survey transparency: If we cite surveys or polls, we disclose methodology and limitations.
- On-the-record: We use on-the-record sources whenever possible and provide context about their credibility.
User-generated content
UGC requires special verification. When we include reader tips, screenshots, or social posts, we:
- Verify the source and seek permission when applicable
- Label what is confirmed vs. what is unverified or opinion
- Distinguish facts from rumor or speculation
Independence and conflicts of interest
- Editorial independence: Advertisers, sponsors, and partners do not control our conclusions or picks.
- Affiliate links: If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our recommendations, and we disclose this across the site.
- Review access: Trials, credits, or loaned services never guarantee coverage or a positive review. We do not allow pre-publication approval by vendors.
Responsibility for accuracy and use of AI
AI tools may assist with outlines, transcripts, or drafting. Our editorial team is fully responsible for fact-checking and final approval. Every article is reviewed before publication to uphold our commitment to trust and reliability.
