Talk to us-
Is the 30% really recurring?
Yes — for 12 months on every customer you refer, paid monthly. Most affiliate programs cap at one payment; ours pays as long as the customer stays in the first year.
-
When do I get paid?
On the 5th of every month for the previous month's earnings, with a 14-day clearance window for refunds. Minimum payout is $50; below that we roll over.
-
Can I run paid ads on HostEngine keywords?
Brand-bidding is not allowed (it's just paying ourselves), but every other keyword is fair game — including competitor terms.
-
Are there content guidelines?
Two simple rules: don't claim things that aren't true, and don't spam. We approve creators with audiences, not link farms.
-
How does cookie tracking work?
We use a 60-day first-party cookie plus an SSO-friendly server-side fallback. Your link still works for users who block third-party cookies.
