What is a commercial website?

A commercial website is any website that generates revenue or cash flow of any type, and is not owned by a registered non-profit organization. If you’re selling a product, selling advertisements, providing a service or just marketing a commercial business, your site is commercial. A company website is also commercial even if it doesn’t sell anything, as its purpose is to front a for-profit company.
