Sell hosting in the market you already know

Affiliates send us a customer and take a share of what we bill them; we own the relationship and the support. Partners own everything: you buy capacity from us, set your own prices, invoice your own customers under your own brand, and provide their first line of support. An affiliate earns a slice passively. A partner runs a hosting business with our platform underneath, and keeps the whole margin. If you already build or maintain sites for clients, partnering almost always pays more.

Not unless you choose to tell them. You run your own private nameservers, your own brand in the control panel, and your own invoices. Worth being straight with you about one detail: the servers are physically in London, so a customer who checks where their site is hosted will find a UK location. That is a fact about geography rather than a branding leak, and most customers never look.

Most of our partners start as freelance web designers or small agencies who already build sites and are tired of sending clients elsewhere for hosting. The technical side is more approachable than it looks: WHM handles account creation and limits, cPanel is what your clients already recognise, and provisioning is a form rather than a server build. The genuinely hard parts are pricing and support expectations, not the technology — and we're happy to talk both through with you before you commit.

The arithmetic is in the table above, and the honest summary is that it scales with how much you bundle rather than how cheaply you resell. Selling hosting alone at a small markup is a modest recurring income. Selling it inside a site-care retainer — hosting plus updates, backups and a support promise — is where partners actually make money, because you're charging for the responsibility rather than the disk space. Fifteen clients on a care plan is a meaningful monthly income; fifteen clients on bare hosting is pocket money.

Anywhere we cannot sell well ourselves, which is most of the world. We are strongest in the UK and Europe already. We would particularly like partners across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Latin America, where the language, payment methods and local trust are things you have and we do not. One honest caveat on geography: our servers are in London, so latency is excellent for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, workable for the Americas and South Asia with caching, and genuinely poor for Australia and East Asia. Please read our infrastructure page and pick your market accordingly.

Yes, and at no charge. Moving an existing client book is the main thing that stops people switching platforms, so we will do the migrations with you rather than hand you a guide. Tell us what you have and where it currently sits, and we will plan it so your clients see no downtime and you don't spend a weekend on it.

First-line support for your own customers, honest marketing, and not overselling capacity so far that your clients suffer. We are not going to police your pricing or your brand. The one thing we do ask is that you don't make claims about our infrastructure that aren't true — your reputation and ours are attached to each other, and a customer who was promised a local datacentre will be unhappy with both of us.
