The marketplace is full of hosting providers, giving customers plenty of options. However, customers continuously leave five-star reviews for a handful of companies. Hostinger comes to mind and has an excellent rating on Trustpilot, a customer review site. I recently purchased domains from Hostinger because of their low-cost pricing. (I’m still using SiteGround to host my sites, but that could change later.)

Hostinger’s vision is to empower people worldwide to learn, create, and grow using the internet. It offers shared hosting, VPS, cloud, WordPress, and WooCommerce packages.

NordVPN is a top-rated VPN. A virtual private network (VPN) is a service that encrypts your internet traffic and protects your online identity. It does this by masking your IP address and encrypting all the data you send and receive. Millions of people use VPNs to maintain their privacy and security.

NordVPN has applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Also, it has a zero-log policy and doesn’t track, collect, or share user data. The company’s name was inspired by Nordic ideals of confidence, trust, and innovation.

An affiliate program with a recurring commission will pay an affiliate a minimum of two commissions for a sale. However, merchants typically issue commissions for as long as the converted customer remains active and paying.

Most recurring affiliate programs function by way of ongoing customer payments; for example, a tech company earns revenue through monthly and annual subscription fees. Alternatively, some merchants pay commissions on recurring customer transactions. For instance, a cryptocurrency exchange pays a 10 percent commission on every client trade.

Trading commissions have long been a reliable source of revenue for established financial institutions, such as Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and TD Ameritrade. Discount and online brokerages sought lower fees, but investors still had to pay to trade. In 2013, Robinhood launched a commission-free investment app to disrupt the US investing sector.

Robinhood provides access to stocks, funds, options, cryptos, and cash management services. Its premium plan offers professional research reports, margin trading, level II market data, and other benefits. Robinhood has web and mobile apps for Apple and Android users.
