The HostPapa Affiliate Program allows you to earn money by referring new customers to HostPapa. HostPapa affiliates use banners (which we provide) or text links containing a unique ID to attract new customers. Whenever one of your links produces a qualified sale, HostPapa pays you a generous commission.

HostPapa offers our valued affiliates several advantages, including:

  • Unlimited earnings every month
  • Multiple payment options
  • Choice of country-specific banners
  • Multi-currency product offerings
  • Multi-language marketing
  • Multiple offers and products
  • Dedicated Affiliate Management Team
  • Customized marketing materials

Step 1: Create your account
Visit https://partners.opienetwork.com and click on PARTNER SIGN UP. Complete the signup form and click “Sign Up” to join the program.

Step 2: Choose your offer
Click on OFFERS on the top menu, then click on ALL OFFERS. Then click on the offer you wish to run (for example, HOSTPAPA.COM). A new page will pop up, and the tracking link will appear at the top of the page.

Step 3: Get your affiliate tracking link
Scroll up to the GENERATE TRACKING section. Your affiliate tracking link will appear in the Tracking Link Options field.

Step 4: Get banners
Scroll down to the CREATIVES menu (just below the tracking link). Select your banner, and the system will generate your HTML code. Upload this code to your website. Alternatively, you can download the banner of your choice and manually place your affiliate link behind the image.

OpieNetwork is a leading online advertising network. HostPapa has partnered with OpieNetwork to provide our affiliates with an advanced tracking system. This system has many features and benefits that will rapidly improve conversions and ultimately help earn you more commissions.

The answer is yes... and no.

HostPapa has global conversion capabilities. This means you may use one tracking link for all of your marketing campaigns, and we will give you credit for any sales, regardless of the geography in which the sale was made. You will get credit for all HostPapa sales initiated through your tracking link.

Example:
If you are located in the United States, you may choose to target the U.S. market. You would then select a HostPapa.com banner and add it to your website. A visitor to your website who is located in Canada sees your advertising campaign and clicks on your banner and supporting tracking link. Since the system is IP address-driven, it will automatically redirect the visitor to the signup page according to their geography–in this case, this visitor will go to the HostPapa.ca signup page and will be shown products in Canadian dollars (as well as the option to order using English or French).

However, if you plan to promote HostPapa on multiple websites or in region-specific categories, we recommend that you select each offer based on that specific geography. Within each offer, you will find country-specific banners to add to your lists.

No, this is not a requirement. If you wish to refer your friends, family, coworkers, or clients via face-to-face or online interactions, you may simply provide them with your Affiliate Tracking URL and have them click on it prior to purchase.

However, we recommend you place the HostPapa banner on your website if you receive traffic that may be interested in our services. That way, if someone decides to sign up through your website, you'll receive a commission without having to do anything!

While you can participate in the Affiliate Program from anywhere in the world, the currency in which your commission is paid will depend on your location.

  • Canada: CAD
  • Europe: EUR
  • UK: GBP
  • All other locations: USD

We pay all affiliate partners via PayPal or wire transfer.

Each client you refer to HostPapa must remain an active user for at least 30 days, which is the duration of HostPapa's 30-day money-back guarantee1. Once the 30-day period has passed and provided that you have reached the minimum threshold required in your affiliate account (see the next question), you will be paid in no less than 45 days after the 30-day period.

Validated sales will then be paid out via PayPal or wire transfer on the 16th of that month, as per the affiliate payment cycle. For example: if you refer a client to HostPapa and the order is made on November 1st, the 30-day trial period ends on December 1st, and provided that you have reached your minimum threshold, then the payment for that order will be issued 45 days from the end of the trial period (on December 1st), which would be January 16th.

Please note: an invoice is automatically generated by the affiliate system at the end of each month. However, that invoice is subject to change within the following 30 days due to adjustments required from cancellations during our 30-day money-back guarantee1 period or fraudulent client accounts.

Yes. The minimum threshold is USD $100 for affiliates in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Mexico, India, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Europe, or the UK. If you do not reach this minimum, your commission will roll over each month until the balance is met.

HostPapa does not allow self-referrals in our program. We do manual checks monthly, and if we find a self-referral, we will simply reverse the commission.

No. At this time, we only offer commissions on new accounts purchased with HostPapa. Renewals, add-on domains, subdomains, and extra add-ons are not eligible for commissions.

You may view your reports at any time by logging in to your affiliate interface to view all of your account activities and commission details. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your affiliate account at https://partners.opienetwork.com
  2. On the main menu, click on REPORTS
  3. Select the TIMEFRAME
  4. Click RUN REPORT

The interface has selected default options for your reports. You can include/exclude columns or filter data as necessary.

Please note: The commissions viewed on the reports are presented in the base currency of the Network (USD).

The affiliate cookies have a 30-day lifespan.

All affiliate applications go through a manual review process. We check your application details, as well as the content available on your website, YouTube channel, or any other social media accounts you provide. This review process typically lasts up to 5 business days, after which you will receive an acceptance or rejection notification via email from affiliates@hostpapa.com.

There could be several reasons for this, including:

  • Relevance: Your website and social channel content may not be closely related to our niche.
  • Incomplete or misleading information: Your application form might have lacked essential details or contained inaccurate information.
  • Please be aware that we maintain the discretion not to disclose the precise cause of your application's rejection.

It’s not necessary to have a website and social media to be a HostPapa affiliate, but it might be helpful in getting good results.

There are several reasons why your referred sale might not appear:

  • The purchase was not made through a tracking link.
  • The system has detected a high risk of fraud.
  • Your referral did not enable cookies or has cleaned them up.
  • The user has cancelled the services.
  • Your referral was already a client.
  • Your referral clicked on another affiliate tracking link, and commissions were attributed to another partner.

As an affiliate, you can’t bid on any HostPapa display URLs, domain names, or trademarks in any search engines. This includes direct bidding on hostpapa.ca, hostpapa.com, and hostpapa.co.uk as the display URL or any variation. Any commissions from bidding directly on the HostPapa display URLs will be forfeited. Affiliates are also prohibited from bidding on any HostPapa trademarks as keywords in search engines.

This includes using “hostpapa”, “host papa”, “papa host”, “hosting papa”, “hostpapa coupons”, “hostpapa coupon codes”, “hostpapa promo codes”, “hostpapa rebates”, “hostpapa review”, “host papa review”, hostpapa.ca, hostpapa.com, hostpapa.eu, hostpapa.com.au, hostpapa.com.mx, hostpapa.co.uk, www.hostpapa.co.nz, hostpapa.gr, hostpapa.de, hostpapa.es, hostpapa.fr, hostpapa. i.e., any misspellings or combinations used to obtain search results using HostPapa’s trademarked terms.

Any commissions from keyword bidding tactics are an agreement violation, and would result in compensation being forfeited. Affiliates can’t bid on third-party keywords that may violate those companies’ trademark rights, including using HostPapa’s competitors’ brand names and trademarks in keyword bidding. Affiliates may not use the corporate branding and/or trademarks of HostPapa in their search engine optimization strategies using their affiliate links, including in any meta-tags, search engine advertising, marketing or optimization, any other online or offline marketing or advertising, press releases, etc. without the express written permission of HostPapa. Affiliates are prohibited from performing any non-ethical SEO techniques and strategies that incorporate the use of any HostPapa trade name or derivative.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee1. During this period, the clients may still be able to cancel the plan. If the client cancels his plan during the trial, the commission is also revoked.

There are many benefits to both the Reseller Plan and the Affiliate Program, two very different programs. You'll need to decide which is best for your specific needs.

The Affiliate Program is a referral program. You receive a one-time commission from HostPapa for each valid new account you refer to us. As you refer more accounts, you may be given the opportunity to offer discounts to your customers. If you don't want to handle the technical and support side of web hosting, the Affiliate Program is for you.

The Reseller Plan lets you host multiple clients and provide them with their very own control panels and logins. You can set up your own web hosting business under your own brand name. By subscribing to the reseller plan, you purchase a certain amount of SSD storage and bandwidth from HostPapa. You may then resell this capacity, as you wish, to your own clients. Your clients will never know that HostPapa is providing their web hosting services. In this way, you may start a private-label web hosting operation without investing in expensive infrastructure, servers, bandwidth, and IT staff. You manage the technical, support, and billing aspects of your business, and you have a primary login to manage your clients. In other words, you're in control!

No worries! Take a deep breath and shoot us an email at affiliates@hostpapa.com. We're here to help.
