 - Make sure to fill out the `name`, `link`, `category`, and `reviewed` fields.
 - `reviewed` should be a date in format `2019.7.11`.
 - `link` is usually a link to the provider's main page; it's where clicking on the name will go.
-- for `category`, see descriptions [here](https://certbot.eff.org/hosting_providers/).
-- for `full`/`partial` categories, one of the links provided should have evidence of being in that category.
-  - only one of `tutorial`, `announcement`, `plan` will show up, in that order.
+- For `category`, see descriptions [here](https://certbot.eff.org/hosting_providers/).
+  - If a user must take any action at all after creating their website, it is not `full` support.
+  - If the provider offers both `partial` and `full` support, this is `partial` support, along with a note explaining where full support is available.
+- For `full`/`partial` categories, one of the links provided should have evidence of being in that category.
+  - Only one of `tutorial`, `announcement`, `plan` will show up, in that order. Please do not include more than one of these links.
     - `partial` should have `tutorial`.
     - `full` providers shouldn't need a tutorial to turn on https. an exception might include instructions of what to do if something goes wrong and the automatic https doesn't work.
-- if one provider offers multiple products, either split into two entries or note it in the `note` field.
-- the `note` field is good for things like noting which products have https, or that the site is available only in certain languages. it's not meant to advertise the hosting provider's site/offerings.
-- all unused fields should be `""`
