Earn 20% of every payment, for as long as they stay

20% of every payment your referral makes, for as long as they stay with us. On a $4.66/mo plan billed annually that's about $11.18 a year, every year they renew. On a $29.99/mo reseller plan it's roughly $72 a year, recurring. The arithmetic favours quality over volume: ten referrals who stay five years are worth far more than fifty who churn in three months.

A fat upfront bounty pays whoever pushes the most signups through the door, fit or no fit. That is exactly how affiliate programmes fill up with reviews nobody should believe. Handing you a slice of what we are actually paid works differently: we only come out ahead if the customer sticks, so your interest is in sending us people we genuinely suit rather than anyone with a credit card. Same logic sits behind our refusal to inflate renewal prices.

No, and the gap between the two matters. An affiliate sends us a customer; we do the billing and the support; you collect a share of the revenue and do nothing further once the referral lands. A reseller buys capacity from us and sells hosting under their own brand. You set prices, pocket the entire margin, own the customer relationship and answer the first support ticket yourself. One earns passively, the other is a business you run. Already building sites for clients? Reselling will usually pay you far better.

Commission is confirmed once the referred order passes our 30-day money-back window — we can't pay out on an order that might still be refunded. After that, balances above $50 are paid monthly in USD. If a customer later refunds or files a chargeback, that commission is reversed.

Paid search on our brand name, for a start: you would be billing us for traffic that already belonged to us. Coupon and voucher spam. Cookie stuffing. Sending yourself through your own link and claiming the order. Worst of the lot is writing things about us that are not true. Say we run datacentres in twelve countries and some reader ends up feeling lied to, which both of us will have deserved. Our infrastructure page spells out where we host; stick to what it says.

Yes, and we'd rather you did. Cards from any country go through, and we sell worldwide. Read the infrastructure page before you write anything, though, so the expectations you set are honest ones: our servers live in London, which suits Europe very well and works fine further afield once caching is doing its job. An audience sitting wholly in Australia or East Asia is a poor match. Someone who refunds inside 30 days pays you nothing, so pointing us at the right readers serves you as much as it serves us.

Nothing published, no. Tier ladders mostly exist so the headline number reads better than what anyone collects. Send us steady, genuine volume and then email us; we'll have a proper conversation about it. Negotiating in private with someone real beats advertising a rate hardly anybody ever qualifies for.
