Sponsor MigrationCost.com
This site takes one sponsor. Not a rotation, not a slot among many: a single company whose support is acknowledged in one clearly labelled strip while the research stays entirely its own.
What the sponsorship is
A single strip on the site reading “Independent research, supported by X”, always labelled as sponsorship in plain language. The position is category-exclusive: for as long as you sponsor the site, no other company in your category can.
- One sponsor at a time. The strip is the only sponsored surface on the site.
- Monthly performance report. You see exactly what the sponsorship did each month.
- Plain disclosure. Sponsor links carry
rel="sponsored"and the labelling says sponsorship, not “partner” or anything softer. - Founding rate. Early sponsors lock a founding rate that holds for the life of the relationship.
The hard rule
Vendors this site evaluates are not eligible to sponsor it. If your product appears in our research, the sponsorship is not open to you. That is what keeps the research worth citing.
The sponsor strip also never appears on pages covering the sponsor's own products or its category competitors. Readers on those pages see no sponsor at all.
Never for sale
Sponsorship buys acknowledgement of support. It buys nothing else. The following are editorial:
- Rankings. Where a vendor sits in any list or table is set by the research.
- Comparison outcomes. Which option a comparison favours cannot be bought, nudged, or pre-agreed.
- Calculator placement. No sponsored defaults, no sponsored inputs, no sponsored results.
- Verification stamps. Verification is free for every vendor, sponsor or not. It cannot be purchased.
- Editorial influence. The sponsor sees the research when readers do. No previews, no veto, no edits.
Why a company sponsors this
Because the audience is IT leaders, cloud architects and FinOps teams in the middle of pricing a migration, and because supporting independent research says something a banner cannot. The strict separation above is the product: your name next to research that visibly cannot be bought.
