Who we are, and why this site exists
Xenith Technologies publishes practical technology guides for people who spend real money on software and infrastructure: agency owners, freelancers, and small business operators, mostly in India and increasingly worldwide.
Who runs this
Xenith Technologies is run by Manav Aggarwal, a developer and agency owner based in India. Alongside publishing here, he builds websites and Android applications for small businesses, which is where most of the material on this site originates — the questions clients ask, the mistakes that cost them money, and the decisions that turn out to matter a year later.
That dual role is deliberate. Writing about hosting, DNS, email deliverability, and security is more useful when you are also the person who has to make those things work in production for someone who is paying for the outcome.
You can reach us directly at hello@xenithtechnologies.com. Every email is read by a person.
What we publish
Three kinds of thing, and nothing else:
- Buying frameworks — how to choose between options, what to check before signing, and what the total cost really is. Examples: choosing hosting, evaluating a payment gateway.
- Technical explainers — the working knowledge behind something that broke or is about to. Examples: DNS records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, Core Web Vitals.
- Operations playbooks — the boring processes that prevent expensive problems. Examples: backups, a security baseline, cutting software spend.
How we research
We work from primary sources: vendor documentation, official pricing pages, government and regulatory material, and published standards. When we state a fact that can change — a price, a threshold, a legal deadline — we link the source and date the claim so you can verify it yourself.
Where we have direct operational experience, we say so. Where we do not, we say that too. We do not fabricate hands-on testing, invent benchmark numbers, or write "in our testing" about products we have not run. That restraint costs us some persuasive-sounding sentences and is the reason the guides are worth reading.
Our full standards, including how we handle corrections and commercial relationships, are in the editorial policy.
What we will not do
- Recommend something because a company paid for the placement.
- Publish a list of ten tools when the honest answer is that two are worth considering.
- Claim testing we have not done.
- Hide a commercial relationship. Any advertising, sponsorship, or affiliate arrangement is labelled — see our disclosure.
How this site is funded
Three ways, all disclosed. Advertising, which is labelled and kept visually separate from editorial content. Development work we take on directly, described on our services page. And, in future, affiliate or referral arrangements, which will be marked wherever they appear. None of these change a conclusion in an article. If we cannot recommend something honestly, we do not recommend it.
Corrections
Technology changes and we get things wrong sometimes. If you find an error, send the page URL and a supporting source to hello@xenithtechnologies.com and we will correct it and note the change. We would rather be corrected than be confidently wrong in public.
Xenith Technologies is an independent publication. Advertising and commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions.
