ClickHouseCalc Affiliate Disclosure: How Partner Commissions Fund OLAP Sizing Tools

1. How ClickHouseCalc Funds MergeTree Calculators Through Partner Commissions

In compliance with FTC 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines, ClickHouseCalc (maintained by the ClickHouseCalc Editorial Desk) discloses that we participate in affiliate referral programs with infrastructure providers compared in our dossiers, including InterServer, UltaHost, Hostinger, Vultr, and ChemiCloud.

When you click an outbound /go/* link—every one of which carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"—and purchase a hosting plan, ClickHouseCalc may receive a referral commission from the vendor at no extra cost to you.

2. Separation Between ClickHouseCalc Storage Physics and Referral Links

In our deterministic ClickHouseCalc model, hardware recommendations are ranked strictly by required NVMe capacity (Compressed Parts + 4.5% Sparse Index + 22% Merge Headroom), per-node RAM working set, and replication topology.

No vendor can pay to modify ZSTD/LZ4 compression multipliers or place an undersized VPS tier ahead of a capacity-matched VDS or Ryzen node.

3. Non-Affiliate Cloud Benchmarks & Editorial Questions for ClickHouseCalc

ClickHouseCalc also models non-affiliate cloud platforms—Datadog Logs, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and ClickHouse Cloud—and highlights workloads where managed cloud services beat self-hosting. Questions regarding our disclosure may be sent to https://clickhousecalc.pages.dev/en/contact/.
