The Host4Biz affiliate program

Tell the people who need hosting or a server about us, and take a share of what they pay us. The share comes every month for as long as they stay.

  • 30% on hosting, 15% on VPS and backup
  • Credited at the start of every month
  • Payouts start at $30
  • The client area issues the link
  • Every customer of ours can be a partner
  • Clicks and earnings shown in the same place
  • The client is yours from sign-up on
  • No application, no separate contract
  • The balance pays for your own services

How the affiliate program works

Three steps, and nothing is asked of you in between.

STEP 1

Take your link

Sign in to the client area, or open an account if you have never ordered from us. Your affiliate link sits in the affiliate section. It carries your number, and that is how we know who sent the client.

STEP 2

Recommend us

Put the link in an article, a review, a forum signature, a message to a client: anywhere the people who need hosting or a server read you. The ready-made link opens the client area, but you can point it at any page of our site: add ?affid= and your number to the page address, as in host4.biz/en/vps?affid=17. If the address already has a question mark, use &affid= instead.

STEP 3

Collect your reward

At the start of the month we add up what your clients spent during the previous one and credit your share to your balance. From there it either pays for our services or leaves as money.

Reward rate for each service

The rate depends only on the service your client ordered. There are no tiers and no negotiations: the figures are the same for every partner.

Web hosting and WordPress hosting

30%

More than on any other service of ours. Hosting is taken for the long run and renewed year after year, so the reward from it keeps arriving the longest.

Hosting plans →

Virtual servers (VPS)

15%

Every VPS plan: Linux and Windows, Warsaw and Zurich. There is no separate rate for a location or an operating system.

VPS plans →

Backup hosting

15%

Room for backups on a Ceph cluster. It is taken on top of a server: a second service for the same client, with no new one to find.

Backup hosting plans →

Dedicated servers

5%

The rate is lower and the orders are larger than on anything else, so in money a dedicated server comes to several hosting accounts.

We count the percentage on the net amount, the one before tax. Domains and SSL certificates earn nothing.

Who the affiliate program suits

Three cases where you already recommend hosting, only for nothing so far.

A web developer working at a laptop in a small studio

Web studios and freelancers

You pick where to put every client's site anyway. The hosting stays with them for years, and the reward arrives over all those years instead of once at handover.

An author writing at a laptop with an open notebook

Authors and communities

A review, a migration guide, an answer in a forum thread: the link lives as long as the text does and still brings people a year after it was published.

A system administrator working at a laptop in a small office

System administrators

You run somebody else's infrastructure and decide where it goes. Servers and backup hosting are paid for monthly, which makes the reward monthly as well.

How we know the client is yours

One click, one mark in the browser and one record at sign-up.

Someone follows the link

They open our site through your link and the browser remembers who sent them. Nothing is asked of them for that.

The order may come six months later

The mark in the browser lasts 90 days and is only needed up to sign-up. Once the account exists, it is tied to you for good, and whether they order straight away or half a year on, the reward is still yours.

You can see all of it

Clicks, registered clients and the earnings from each of them sit in the affiliate section. There is no report to ask us for.

That mark can be lost: cookies cleared, the system reinstalled, a different device this time. Then there is nothing to credit the click to. So the shorter the path from your link to sign-up, the safer it is.

How to take your reward

What you earn sits on your balance, and the rest is your choice.

Pay for our services

The balance covers any invoice of ours: your own hosting, a server for a client, a domain renewal. There is no threshold to wait for.

Take it out as money

Withdrawal opens once the balance passes $30. You file the request in the client area, in the same place you watch the earnings.

What a partner may not do

Two limits, both there so the reward goes to a real recommendation.

  • Refer yourself. Ordering hosting or a server through your own link, from a second account or in your own name will not work: we reverse earnings like that.
  • Spread the link without the recipient's consent: email spam, pop-ups, autoposting. A partner account doing that is blocked.

Questions about the affiliate program

What people ask before taking the link.

Do I have to be a Host4Biz customer to become a partner?

You do not have to order anything, but you do need an account: the affiliate link is issued in the client area. Sign up, open the affiliate section and take the link.

How much is paid on each service?

Web hosting and WordPress hosting pay 30%, virtual servers (VPS) 15%, backup hosting 15%, dedicated servers 5%. The rate follows the service the client ordered and does not depend on a partner’s turnover.

What amount is the percentage counted on?

On the net amount, that is the line on the invoice before tax. The tax depends on who is buying and from where: otherwise your share for one and the same service would change with the client’s country.

Is anything paid on domains and SSL certificates?

No, those two earn nothing. But a client who came to us for a domain usually orders hosting next, and hosting does pay the rate.

When does the reward arrive?

At the start of every month, for the month before. And it is not a one-off: while the client keeps paying for the service, your share comes from each of their payments, not only from the first order.

What if the client orders half a year after signing up?

The reward is still yours. The client is tied to you from the moment they opened an account through your link, and stays tied afterwards, whenever the first order happens to come.

How do I get the money?

Two ways. The balance pays any invoice of ours, and there is no threshold for that. Or take it out as money: we accept a withdrawal request as soon as the balance passes $30.

What happens if someone clears their cookies before signing up?

Then there is nothing to credit the click to: the mark saying who sent them lives in the browser and disappears along with cleared cookies, a reinstalled system or a switch to another device. After sign-up the mark is no longer needed: the client is recorded as yours in the panel.

What is the difference between an affiliate program and a referral program?

Nothing, they are two names for the same thing. We call ours an affiliate program, but the word "referral" may turn up in the client area and in other people’s articles; it means this same program and this same link.

Want to see what you will be recommending?
