Hostinger Affiliates Review: 40% Commission & Terms

The Hostinger Affiliate Program is the in-house partner programme of one of the world’s best-known budget hosting brands, and its headline number is hard to ignore: commission starts at 40% of a referred customer’s first purchase and grows with your sales volume, reaching up to 60% on Hostinger AI Builder through specific offers. Signup is instant and free — under a minute, according to Hostinger’s own page — and you get an affiliate dashboard, banners and marketing materials. The tracking cookie lasts 30 days, with last-click attribution.

The terms behind the headline deserve a careful read. Commission is only paid on a new customer’s first purchase of a 12-month or longer hosting plan; one-month plans, renewals and upgrades earn nothing, and revenue-share commission is capped at $300 per sale. Before you can be paid you need at least three approved conversions and a balance of $100 for PayPal or $500 for wire transfer, and payouts are monthly on request, released by the 20th, after the refund period has passed.

If you run a blog, YouTube channel or site about WordPress, websites or hosting, and your audience actually buys hosting, Hostinger Affiliates is one of the highest-paying brand programmes available. Just remember the earnings are one-time per customer — the same reader will not pay you again next year.
