Who runs this website
This policy covers Joomla Hosting Directory at joomla-hosting-directory.com, an independent hosting information website. Its operator is Shane Jones. The site has no visitor accounts, public comments or newsletter signup.
For a privacy question or a request about information handled by this website, email [email protected]. We may need enough information to identify the relevant interaction and respond appropriately.
Hosting and technical information
The site is prepared for hosting on Netlify. Delivering and protecting a website can involve processing IP addresses, requested pages, browser information and access times. These data support page delivery, fault diagnosis and security. Hosting logs and their retention depend on the deployed account’s settings and service arrangements, which the operator must review before launch. See Netlify’s privacy statement.
Optional Google Analytics
Google Analytics 4 is configured. Its script loads only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Declining leaves it unloaded. With permission, Google receives information about page visits, browser and device details, and interactions such as clicks on Vultr provider links. We use this to understand how the website is used.
Advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation are set to denied. Google signals and ad personalisation signals are disabled. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to recognise browser visits. These are configured with a 180-day expiry, which may refresh during consented visits.
Your allow/decline choice is honoured for up to 180 days using local storage. Reopen “Analytics preferences” in the footer to change it. Declining disables future collection through the site and clears accessible first-party Analytics cookies. It does not delete data already processed by Google. Google’s server-side retention also depends on the Analytics property settings; a browser-cookie expiry is not a promise that Google has deleted every record.
Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Browser storage is described in the cookie policy.
Planning tools and page assets
The hosting fit checker and cost calculator process answers in the current page. They do not send the values to a server, store an answer history or require an email address. Fonts and images are served with the site rather than requested from a third-party font service.
Correspondence
Once a contact address is published, emailing it shares your address, message and any attachments with the operator and the email service used to deliver the message. These are used to answer enquiries, assess corrections and handle privacy requests. The website has no contact-form database. Do not include passwords, payment details or confidential customer information.
Correspondence should be kept only as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and any necessary follow-up or record-keeping obligation. The operator must document the actual mail service, access controls and retention arrangements before publishing contact details. No fixed retention period is claimed here for an account that has not been configured.
Affiliate links and external websites
Vultr links contain referral codes so Vultr can attribute eligible signups. They identify the referral arrangement; our links do not add your name or email address. Following a link takes you to a separate service that may collect data and use its own cookies. This website’s Analytics preference does not control Vultr’s processing.
Read Vultr’s privacy policy before creating an account. Our affiliate disclosure explains the commercial arrangements. We do not receive your Vultr password or payment-card details through these links.
Display advertising
Display advertising is not enabled. This site does not load Google AdSense ad code or make requests for display ads. A future ownership-verification meta tag or publisher declaration would not itself enable ads.
Before introducing ads, we will update these disclosures to explain the actual providers, purposes, cookies, retention and choices, and implement the relevant consent controls. Advertising providers may use information about visits to this and other websites to personalise ads. Google describes available controls in My Ad Center and its advertising technologies information. These are future considerations, not a claim that personalised ads currently run here. See our advertising policy.
Your choices and rights
Where applicable law provides them, you may request access to personal data, correction, deletion, restriction or portability, or object to certain processing. Rights depend on the circumstances and the applicable legal basis. Analytics consent can be withdrawn through the footer control when Analytics is enabled, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Service providers may process data in countries outside your own. Review their linked policies for locations and safeguards; this website does not promise that all processing remains in one country. The operator must confirm the applicable arrangements for the actual deployment and services.
You can raise a concern with the operator and, where applicable, your local data-protection regulator. In the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office explains how to complain. Requests about data held independently by Vultr should go to Vultr.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when the website’s data handling changes. The date above identifies the latest policy revision. The operator must review these statements against the actual hosting, analytics, email and advertising setup before launch.
