Show a referral. When will I get my check?
Every account you refer needs to remain active for more than 30 days, during our money-back guarantee period.
Our payment threshold is currently set at Rs. 3000, so after these referrals have been active over 30 days, we'll send out a check during the next immediate pay period.
I'd like to refer a friend. Do you offer a referral program?
Yes! Our Affiliate Program offers advertisers and everyday webmasters the ability to earn a percentage for every qualified sale sent our way. Once your referred accounts have been active over 30 days, we send you a check during the next immediate pay period.
When you join the program we issue you an affiliate link. When you're ready to refer someone, give them your link. It will redirect them to HostBreak.com where they can purchase hosting like normal. Your commission will then automatically and immediately show up in your affiliate stats.
You have both a Reseller Plan and an Affiliate Program. What's the difference and which should I choose?
There are many benefits to both the Reseller Plan and the Affiliate Program, but there are also many differences, so you'll need to decide which is best for your specific needs, as what works best for one person may not for the next. Don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email if you're still confused or need guidance.
The Affiliate Program is more of a referral program than anything else. HostBreak will provide you with a one-time commission for each new account you refer to our services, as well as a one-time commission of 5% for every new account your referrals bring our way. The more accounts you refer to, the more possibility of an increase in commission amounts and discounts for your customers. If you have a large web hosting review site, a web design business where you don't want to handle the technical side of web hosting, or if you just have several friends you're going to refer, the Affiliate Program is for you.
The Reseller Program is an option for private label web hosting companies who don't want their clients to know they are hosted with HostBreak. We bill you, you bill your clients, and thus we don't have any contact with each client. You manage the technical and billing aspects of your business as well as have a primary login to manage your clients.
How often do you send out payments?
We send payments in increments of $50 by US Check once/month.
How do you track my commissions?
Every affiliate is provided with an Affiliate Tracking URL (or link formatted as http://portal.hostbreak.com/?a_aid) upon signup. This link has a cookie attached to it, which remembers your unique affiliate username. When a customer clicks your link, the cookie is stored in their browser and follows them all the way to the signup page. After they purchase hosting, your commission magically appears in your affiliate stats! This is an automatic and immediate process that tracks every single sale you make.
I need hosting – can I refer myself and receive the 35% commission?
No. We do not allow self-referrals in our program, as per our terms of service. We do manual self-referral checks once/month to assure nothing slips through the cracks, and if we do find a self-referred commission, we will simply delete it. A self-referral consists of a matching billing and affiliate name/address.
I'm a web designer, so I often purchase accounts for my clients under my own name, with my own credit card. Does this mean I can’t be your affiliate?
For web designers, webmasters, and businesses that need to sign up accounts for their clients, simply contact us with your affiliate username so we can note your status. Once we do so, you'll be able to purchase accounts for every client with no issue!
Do I have to place a banner, link, or HostBreak logo on my site in order to become an affiliate?
No, you are not required to place a link, banner, or affiliate logo! If you simply want to refer your friends, family, coworkers, or clients via face-to-face or online interactions, simply provide them with your Affiliate Tracking URL and have them click on it prior to purchase.
However, we do recommend you place the HostBreak logo or link on your site if you receive targeted traffic from webmasters, designers, etc, who may be interested in web hosting from HostBreak. That way, if someone decides to signup via your website, you'll receive a pleasant $$ surprise for your secret referral!
What is a 'qualified commission'?
A qualified commission is any sale you refer to us, which:
- was referred via your Affiliate Tracking URL
and which does not
- have another affiliate's name attached to it
- include renewals, or add-ons like Dedicated IPs, domain names, databases, etc.
How do you know where to send my check?
We send checks once/month to the address we have listed on file in our affiliate backend. This is the same as what you see when you log in to your affiliate stats here https://hostbreak.com/earn-money-online-in-pakistan. If you need to update your address, please visit the link above and log in using your affiliate username/password, which was provided to you in your Affiliate Welcome Email.
Do I have to host with HostBreak to be your affiliate?
No. You aren't even required to have a website to be an affiliate. :)
Are we allowed to be affiliated with your competitors as well?
Of course. While we’d love to be the only web host on your review site or the only recommended host you are affiliated with, the best reviews and recommendations are the honest ones. Having several sites listed, even our competitors is perfectly fine.
I just became an affiliate, but I’ve already referred someone; can I still get a commission?
As long as the commission is qualified and not older than 3 months, yes! Simply email us with your affiliate username and the domain name you referred so we can look into it for you.
