What is NoJargonTools?
NoJargonTools.com helps everyday people choose web hosting, VPNs, and web tools without getting buried in technical jargon. The goal is simple: explain tools like a helpful friend would — clear, calm, and honest about trade-offs.
What we focus on today
The site is starting small on purpose, with a narrow set of categories where clear explanations make a big difference.
Web hosting (beginners & small businesses)
Many people buy hosting once every few years and feel completely lost when they land on a pricing page. NoJargonTools explains:
- ✔ The difference between popular starter hosts
- ✔ Which plans make sense for a first website or blog
- ✔ When it’s worth paying more for support and performance

VPNs for travel & remote work
Instead of talking only about encryption and protocols, the focus is on real situations: working from cafés, airports, hotels, or co-working spaces while staying reasonably safe.
- ✔ Simple explanations of what a VPN actually does
- ✔ When a VPN is worth paying for (and when it isn’t)
- ✔ Which VPNs fit different travel and device setups
What’s coming next: web tools
Over time, NoJargonTools will expand into everyday web tools that non-technical people use to run small businesses and side projects.
Website & business tools (coming soon)
Planned guides and advisors will cover tools like:
- ✔ Website builders (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress-friendly tools)
- ✔ Email & newsletter platforms for small businesses
- ✔ Basic marketing tools (forms, appointment booking, simple CRM)
These will follow the same pattern as hosting and VPNs: narrow, focused guides written in plain English, with clear “who this is for” explanations.
More plain-English advisors
The Tool Advisor is being expanded so visitors can answer a few simple questions and get 1–3 suggested tools for:
- ✔ First websites & side projects
- ✔ Local service businesses
- ✔ Travelers & remote workers on public WiFi
Future flows will include web tools like website builders, email services, and basic business tools, again with no jargon or scare tactics.
How tools are chosen
The goal isn’t to list every product in a category — it’s to highlight a small group of widely used options and explain the trade-offs.
Shortlists, not giant directories
Each guide focuses on a small number of tools (usually 3–6) that are:
- ✔ Widely used and actively maintained
- ✔ Reasonably beginner-friendly or well documented
- ✔ Clear about what they’re best at
This keeps comparisons readable for everyday visitors who don’t want to scroll through pages of options.
Plain-English trade-offs
Where possible, guides explain not just “features”, but what they mean in real life:
- ✔ What you gain by spending a bit more
- ✔ Where a cheaper plan is genuinely enough
- ✔ Which tools are better fits for specific situations
The aim is to help visitors feel calmer and more confident, not pressured.
How NoJargonTools earns money
Transparency matters. Here’s how the business side works.
Affiliate links & commissions
Some of the products mentioned on NoJargonTools use affiliate links. If a visitor clicks a link and signs up, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to them.
This helps cover hosting, tools, and the time spent writing and testing guides. Visitors are always free to go directly to any provider instead of using the links.
Editorial approach
Tools are included or excluded based on usefulness for real-world situations, not just the payout on an affiliate program. The goal is to recommend tools that people will still be happy with a year from now.
Feedback from readers and partners is welcome, especially if it helps clarify where a tool shines or where it may not be the best fit.
