What makes the IT Donut different?

Information on the IT Donut is created by people who know IT and understand how businesses can use it. What's more, our information is checked by independent experts - so you can be sure you're not just getting any old advice. You're getting the best advice.

Unlike some other advice sites, we don't have a vested interest in promoting a particular product or service. We do work with sponsors and experts, who use the IT Donut to show you how they may be able to help you. But you're under no obligation to deal with them.

• You're part of something. Registered users can add comments to our articles and participate in our forums.

Who will you sell my details to?

Nobody. It's that simple - we take your privacy extremely seriously. Unless you ask us to, we will not pass your contact details or any other personal information to anyone else. You’ll find full details in our privacy policy.
