What could you earn?
Pre-filled from the program's terms. Change any number to match your audience.
Recurring commission builds up: customers you refer in month one keep paying while they stay subscribed. An estimate, not a promise. The program describes its terms as: "$65 per signup for 1 to 6 a month, $85 for 7 to 12, $100 for 13 to 19, $135 above that, plus 10% recurring". Tiers, caps and refunds can change the real figure.
About the program
Hostwinds is a Seattle based host that competes on price for VPS, cloud and dedicated servers while still offering shared and business hosting. Developers like its hourly cloud billing and unmanaged VPS options, and its support has a good reputation for a budget provider.
The affiliate program combines a tiered bounty with a recurring share, which is unusual. You earn $65 per signup for one to six referrals in a month, $85 for seven to twelve, $100 for thirteen to nineteen and $135 for more than that, and on top of the bounty you earn 10 percent recurring for as long as the referral stays a customer. The cookie is 60 days. Commissions mature after a 60 day hold once Hostwinds has received the qualifying payment, and payouts run on the 10th of each month when you have at least $100 in approved commissions and have submitted a request.
Applications are reviewed, and the affiliate agreement is published in full on the site.
Hostwinds converts from cheap VPS roundups, cloud server comparisons, developer tutorials that need a test server and Windows hosting content, which few budget hosts cover. The recurring 10 percent makes it worth more over time than the bounty alone suggests, especially on VPS customers who tend to stay for years.
