† Sense check: value is far outside the vertical's norm — usually a small-sample or data-entry artifact on the network side. Verify in the network dashboard before relying on it.

Web hosting is one of the most saturated corners of affiliate marketing. Every major review site covers the same five brands and quotes commissions that sound large until you factor in the vertical’s extraordinarily high ghost rate. Our database holds 261 web hosting and domain programs across 8 networks, of which only 115 — fewer than half — report any positive EPC figure at all. The 56% ghost rate is the highest we observe in any technology sub-vertical and it matters: averages computed from the visible minority substantially overstate what a new affiliate is likely to earn.

That caveat stated, the programs that do report data are genuinely interesting. InMotion Hosting, on Impact, shows a $9.61 EPC backed by a 90-day cookie and documented flat commissions starting at $20 per sale. Liquid Web, also on Impact, posts a $9.08 EPC with flat payouts reaching $1,500 on high-tier managed servers. Below those, the EPC distribution falls sharply: the vertical median sits well below a dollar, and the average of all positive-EPC programs is pulled upward by a handful of outliers. We analyzed all 147 programs to find where the real numbers are.

Binary Racks is a UK-based data hosting provider focused on dedicated servers, virtual private servers, and colocation racks for businesses that need high-performance data-centre solutions. The Awin listing carries a US country code, which may reflect an international reseller arrangement or a mislabelled record. The $5.06 EPC and 65.15% conversion rate are among the highest in this vertical and should be treated as almost certainly small-sample artefacts: both exceed the vertical flag thresholds by a wide margin. No commission rate is disclosed, making it impossible to verify the mechanism behind this EPC from first principles.

Despite the outlier status, Binary Racks is worth a cautious small-scale test for affiliates who publish specifically on dedicated hosting or data-centre infrastructure. The absence of a commission rate is a genuine limitation. Awin’s own enrichment data notes that the lack of commission or reversal figures makes independent validation impossible. Proceed only after reviewing the full programme terms in the Awin dashboard, where the actual payout structure will be visible.

Best for: IT solution providers and enterprise-hosting publishers writing about dedicated servers and colocation.

20i is a UK-based web hosting platform emphasising speed, managed WordPress hosting, and a reseller programme aimed at developers and agencies. The same brand operates two separate listings: the US-market Awin entry reports a 16.67% conversion rate on a 30-day cookie but no EPC; the UK listing (on Skimlinks) reports no performance data at all. The US entry appears to reflect either a very low-volume promotional period or a single high-value referral that skews the small-sample figure. Neither entry offers a fully credible planning baseline on its own.

Neither listing discloses a commission rate, which is unusual for a programme actively seeking affiliates. The brand is not widely recognised outside UK developer circles. Content that speaks specifically to managed WordPress hosting, development agency tooling, or reseller programmes is most likely to convert. With no disclosed EPC on either listing, model conservatively rather than reading the US conversion figure as an earnings signal.

Best for: Web developers and UK tech publishers; treat the US listing’s conversion figure as a small-sample outlier rather than an earnings baseline.

InMotion Hosting is the most credible high-EPC programme in this vertical. The $9.61 EPC is flagged as above threshold, but it is supported by a transparent commission structure: 50% rate or flat payouts from $20 to $1,000 per sale depending on plan tier, as documented in the Impact commissions table. The 90-day cookie is one of the two longest among the reviewed programs and is well-suited to hosting buyers who typically research for four to six weeks before committing. InMotion provides Linux shared hosting, VPS, and WordPress-optimised hosting, targeting small businesses and developers. No conversion rate or reversal data is disclosed, which limits full due diligence.

The programme runs exclusively on Impact in our database. The flat commission structure with a $1,000 ceiling on high-tier plans means a single enterprise hosting referral can produce a substantial commission. Affiliates writing about managed WordPress hosting, business VPS, or dedicated server options for growing companies are best positioned to realise the upper end of that range. The brand is categorised as “well-known”, which means brand-trust friction is lower than with unknown regional providers.

Best for: Web developers and small-business hosting reviewers; Impact is the only network, and the 90-day cookie rewards long-cycle content such as comparison articles and hosting guides.

Liquid Web operates in the managed hosting space alongside its Nexcess brand, targeting small businesses through to enterprise clients. Its Impact programme shows the second-highest credible EPC in the vertical at $9.08, paired with the most granular commission structure of any programme reviewed here. The commissions table documents flat payouts of $5 to $1,500 on standard online purchases, $5 to $200 on managed application sales, and a separate $7 flat fee for HIPAA-specific lead generation. The Impact-reported average commission of $400 indicates that most referred customers select mid-to-high-tier products. The 90-day cookie matches InMotion Hosting and is appropriate given managed server buyers’ extended decision cycles.

The programme covers five disclosed markets (Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, United States), broader geographic reach than most programmes in this vertical. A Skimlinks listing exists under the same brand key but provides no EPC, commission, or conversion data, confirming Impact as the primary and productive affiliate channel. The $7 HIPAA lead commission is a tactical entry point for publishers covering healthcare IT or compliance topics: it generates revenue even if the referred user does not immediately purchase a hosting plan.

Best for: Tech publishers and managed hosting reviewers targeting business readers; the HIPAA lead commission adds a low-barrier revenue layer for healthcare-tech content.

Bluehost powers over 2 million websites and is one of the most-promoted hosting brands in affiliate marketing globally. The Impact programme shows a $7.97 EPC — flagged as above threshold but considerably more plausible than the top two entries, given the brand’s traffic volume. Flat commissions on Impact are documented at $65 to $1,500 per qualifying sale. A Skimlinks listing (same brand key) shows a 37.5% commission rate but a 0.18% conversion rate and a $0.06 EPC: the Impact channel is unambiguously the productive one, generating roughly 133 times the EPC of Skimlinks. A FlexOffers listing also exists but shows only a $0.06 EPC with no disclosed commission.

The 30-day cookie is shorter than the 90-day windows at InMotion and Liquid Web, which is a meaningful disadvantage given hosting’s extended research cycle. Bluehost’s Impact programme ships globally (over 200 countries are listed in the shipping regions), making it one of the more accessible programmes for non-US English-language content. The brand’s recognition reduces trust friction, but also means the affiliate space is crowded and search ad costs for related keywords are high. Differentiated content — specific plan comparisons, migration guides, or WordPress hosting tutorials — performs better than generic “best hosting” articles.

Best for: Bloggers and website-creation guides with an international English-language audience; use Impact exclusively and focus on specific hosting plan comparisons rather than general hosting reviews.

HostGator is a well-known shared and VPS hosting provider, owned by the Endurance International Group alongside Bluehost. Its Impact programme shows a 70% commission rate — the highest percentage disclosed by any programme in this reviewed set — and a $4.01 EPC above the flag threshold. The data gap is significant: no cookie duration, no conversion rate, and no reversal rate are disclosed. A 70% commission on a hosting plan priced at $5.95 per month (a typical promotional entry point) produces a per-conversion payout of approximately $4.20. At higher tiers the payout scales accordingly, but without a disclosed average order value the annual earnings per sale cannot be modelled from the network data alone.

HostGator appears on Impact only in our database; no secondary network listing provides additional data points. The missing cookie duration is the most significant operational risk: without knowing the referral window, you cannot reliably attribute conversions from content that attracts early-stage researchers. The market field is undisclosed, preventing any geographic optimisation. Given Bluehost’s better-documented terms and similar audience profile, Bluehost is the lower-risk starting point for affiliates on Impact, with HostGator as a secondary test once Bluehost baseline data is established.

Best for: Web-developer and SME-hosting publishers; verify cookie terms in the Impact dashboard before building content specifically around this programme.

O2switch is a French web hosting provider with a strong reputation for reliability and customer support in the French SME and webmaster market. The Awin programme runs on a lead-qualified basis, which typically drives higher conversion than purchase-only programmes because the commitment threshold is lower. Its performance and commission figures are not currently disclosed in our database, so treat any earnings estimate as provisional. No sale commission is documented, which caps the per-referral revenue at the lead payout regardless of the plan the customer ultimately purchases.

This is an explicitly French-market opportunity. O2switch is unknown outside France, and English-language content is unlikely to convert. For publishers producing French-language web hosting or SME tech content, the lead-based structure is worth testing. The flat lead rate is modest, but a lead-qualified programme can still convert well against high-intent French traffic. Verify the current figures in the Awin dashboard before committing content resources.

Best for: French-language tech blogs and webmaster communities targeting the French SME market.

Create.net is a UK-based website builder and hosting platform positioning itself as an accessible, low-cost solution for small businesses and online shops. Its Awin programme is aimed squarely at the UK market, but our database does not currently carry a disclosed EPC, commission, cookie, or conversion figure for that listing, so its terms should be confirmed in the network dashboard before use. Create’s product pricing — monthly plans in the low double digits — means percentage commissions land in the low single digits per conversion, so a high conversion rate rather than a large average order value is what would drive any EPC.

A second data point comes from a Skimlinks listing for the same brand, which reports a 0.29% conversion rate — revealing that the Awin programme reflects a very different, far higher-intent traffic profile. The Awin channel is the one built for affiliate conversion, and a longer cookie would be a competitive advantage over the 30-day standard found on most Awin hosting programmes. Content targeting UK small businesses evaluating website builders, rather than traditional hosting plans, is the natural fit for this programme.

What About WP Engine, Cloudways, SiteGround, and DreamHost?

Several well-known hosting brands appear in our database but sit outside our ranked programs because they report no EPC, carry EPC data only on low-traffic secondary networks, or disclose commission structures that cannot be validated against performance figures. A brief account of the most-searched names:

WP Engine appears on both Skimlinks and FlexOffers (brand key: wpengine.com). Neither listing discloses EPC or conversion data. FlexOffers records an 80% commission, which sounds striking but is meaningless without a disclosed average order value or conversion rate. WP Engine’s in-house affiliate programme, which runs directly on the brand’s own portal, is better documented in external sources but falls outside the scope of our network-sourced dataset.

Cloudways appears on Impact and FlexOffers (brand key: cloudways.com). Both listings show no EPC and no conversion rate. The Impact listing discloses a 90-day cookie — matching the longest windows in the vertical — but without any performance data that cookie length alone provides no basis for ranking or recommendation. Cloudways, owned by DigitalOcean, operates in the managed cloud hosting segment where commissions could be substantial. The data silence here is notable given the brand’s profile.

DreamHost appears on FlexOffers only in our database. The listing is a ghost: no EPC, no commission rate, no conversion data. The brand is well-known in the US shared hosting market but produces no actionable figures from network data.

SiteGround does not appear in our 8-network database at all. It either runs an entirely in-house affiliate programme or is not active on the networks we track. Publishers promoting SiteGround typically do so through the brand’s own portal, outside the scope of this analysis.

Namecheap appears on both Impact and CJ. The CJ listing shows the stronger performance: $0.26 EPC with a 20% commission, versus Impact’s $0.18 EPC with the same 20% commission. A 30-day cookie is reported on Impact; CJ does not disclose one. Namecheap is a well-known domain registrar with transparent programme terms, but its EPC is modest and consistent with a commodity domain registration product rather than a managed hosting upsell.

Data Insights

Web Hosting Affiliate Programs: What the Data Shows

The 56% ghost rate is the single most important figure in this analysis. Fewer than half of the programmes in this vertical produce any measurable EPC, which means the $0.25 average — computed from the 115 positive-EPC entries only — substantially overstates the expected returns for a publisher entering this category cold. That is the more honest baseline for planning: most web hosting affiliate programmes, even those with a live EPC figure, produce pennies per click.

The EPC distribution is sharply skewed by a small number of managed and enterprise hosting programmes. Binary Racks ($5.06) and its 65.15% conversion rate are almost certainly small-sample artefacts. InMotion ($9.61) and Liquid Web ($9.08) are more credible but still above the flag threshold. Below them, the shared-hosting field drops away quickly. The shared-hosting and domain-registration programmes that form the bulk of the database cluster between $0.05 and $0.50 EPC. This two-tier structure — a handful of high-value managed hosting programmes above $3.00, and a long tail of domain and shared-hosting programmes below $0.50 — should inform which programmes an affiliate prioritises based on their audience.

Data Insight: Flat vs. Percentage Commission

This vertical splits cleanly between flat-commission programmes and percentage-commission programmes. The flat-commission group (InMotion $20–$1,000, Liquid Web $5–$1,500, Bluehost $65–$1,500) clusters on Impact and consistently shows higher EPCs. The percentage-commission group (HostGator 70%, easyname 32%, servdiscount 40%) typically operates on Awin or secondary networks and serves lower-average-order products where the percentage rate sounds high but the absolute payout is modest. A 40% commission on a $4 domain registration produces $1.60. A $65 flat commission on a shared hosting plan produces $65. EPC, not commission rate, captures this distinction accurately.

Data Insight: Cookie Duration and Purchase Latency

The average cookie duration for programmes that disclose one is 49 days, which is longer than most e-commerce verticals and reflects hosting’s extended purchase cycle. InMotion and Liquid Web offer 90-day cookies, appropriate for managed hosting buyers who research for months before committing. Programmes with undisclosed cookie durations — HostGator, GoDaddy on CJ, ForexVPS — represent a real operational risk: without knowing the referral window, you cannot guarantee that a user who clicks your link today will be attributed if they purchase three weeks later. Always confirm cookie terms in the network dashboard before building content around any programme in this vertical.

Data Insight: Commission Rate Is Not EPC

Hostinger illustrates the commission-rate-versus-EPC trap clearly. The brand is active on four networks. FlexOffers offers 28% commission but produces a $0.01 EPC. Impact offers 40% commission and produces a $0.45 EPC. CJ offers 10% commission and produces a $0.48 EPC. FlexOffers, despite a mid-range 28% commission, delivers the lowest EPC of the four — likely because the FlexOffers publisher base drives lower-intent or lower-converting traffic. For Hostinger, CJ and Impact are the correct starting points despite CJ's modest 10% commission, because the publisher mix and tracking are more effective.

How to Choose a Web Hosting Affiliate Program

The first question is whether your audience is shopping for shared hosting, managed or VPS hosting, or domain registration. These are meaningfully different products with different commission structures and very different buyer journeys. A 70% commission on a $5 shared hosting plan produces $3.50. A 50% commission on a $60 managed hosting plan produces $30. A flat $200 commission on a high-tier dedicated server plan produces $200. EPC, not commission rate, reflects which product tier the referred customer actually buys — and the EPC gap between the best Impact managed-hosting programmes and the typical domain registrar is roughly 20 to 1.

Second, verify cookie duration in the network dashboard before building content. Hosting buyers typically research for three to six weeks before purchasing. A 30-day cookie will miss conversions from users who click your link in week one but purchase in week five. InMotion and Liquid Web both offer 90-day cookies on Impact, which is materially more valuable for content that ranks for informational queries and attracts early-stage researchers. If a programme does not disclose its cookie duration in our database, treat that as a red flag and check the programme detail page directly.

Third, apply scepticism to high conversion rates. Binary Racks reports a flagged 65.15% conversion rate, well above the vertical threshold. A conversion rate that high in web hosting typically signals a very self-selected traffic source, such as a coupon page or a highly specific review of that exact product. If you plan to build broad informational hosting content, a realistic working conversion rate for well-targeted articles is 1–5%, which aligns with the mid-table programmes in this analysis.

Finally, check which network hosts a programme before joining. Sixty-four brands in this vertical run on two or more networks with different terms. Bluehost earns $7.97 EPC on Impact and $0.06 on Skimlinks. GoDaddy earns $0.47 on CJ and effectively nothing on Skimlinks. Always join through the network that shows the best verified EPC for your target brand, regardless of which network you already have an account with. The data makes the answer unambiguous in most cases.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best web hosting affiliate programs?

Based on our database of 147 programs across 8 networks, the best-performing web hosting affiliate programs by EPC are InMotion Hosting ($9.61 EPC, 90-day cookie, on Impact) and Liquid Web ($9.08 EPC, flat commissions up to $1,500, on Impact). Both substantially exceed the vertical median EPC. For affiliates in specific markets, O2switch (France) and Create (UK) are notable regional options, though our database does not currently carry disclosed EPC figures for either.

How much commission do web hosting affiliate programs pay?

Across the 147 web hosting programs in our database, the average commission rate among programs that disclose one is 29.3%. The range is extreme: from 3% for basic domain registrations up to 100% of the first month on some game server or VPS plans. Flat commissions are common for managed hosting — Bluehost pays $65 to $1,500 per sale on Impact and Liquid Web pays $5 to $1,500 per transaction. Commission rate alone is a poor predictor of EPC because average order values vary enormously across shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated server products.

Why is the ghost rate so high in web hosting affiliate programs?

56% of the 147 web hosting programs in our database provide no positive EPC or conversion data at all. These ghost programs are live on affiliate networks but show zero measurable performance. This is partly structural: many smaller regional registrars and niche hosts run programs with insufficient affiliate-generated traffic to produce a meaningful figure. Some larger brands also deliberately limit data transparency. The practical consequence is that the 115 programs with positive EPC data represent a self-selected group, and their metrics may overstate what a typical new publisher will earn.

What is the cookie duration for web hosting affiliate programs?

The average cookie duration across web hosting programs that disclose one is 49 days. The most common window is 30 days, found on the majority of Awin and Impact programs. InMotion Hosting and Liquid Web (both on Impact) offer 90-day cookies, the longest disclosed durations among the programs reviewed. Cookie length matters in web hosting because buyers typically research for several weeks before committing to a plan. If a programme does not disclose its cookie duration, verify in the network dashboard before relying on it.

Is Hostinger or Bluehost better for affiliates?

On Impact, Bluehost shows a $7.97 EPC against Hostinger’s $0.45 EPC — an 18-fold gap despite Hostinger’s broader presence across four networks. Hostinger’s highest commission is 40% on Impact; Bluehost’s Impact commission is documented as flat $65–$1,500 per sale. The data strongly favours Bluehost on Impact, but Hostinger’s multi-network footprint offers flexibility for non-English or multi-region content strategies. Test both with comparable traffic before scaling.

What is a VPS or dedicated server affiliate commission typically worth?

Managed hosting and dedicated server programs generally pay higher flat commissions than shared hosting or domain registration. Liquid Web’s Impact commissions run from $5 to $1,500 per transaction, with an average of $400, reflecting the wide product range from entry-level cloud to enterprise-dedicated plans. Servdiscount, a German dedicated-server provider on FlexOffers, offers 40% commission, though it discloses no cookie duration. InMotion’s flat commission starts at $20 and scales to $1,000 depending on the plan tier the referred customer selects.

Methodology

This analysis covers 147 web hosting and domain affiliate programs tracked across 8 networks including Awin, Impact, CJ, Skimlinks, FlexOffers, and others. Performance data (EPC, conversion rate, reversal rate) is pulled from network APIs and updated regularly. Commission rates reflect default publisher tiers — negotiated rates may differ. Programs with no performance data (“ghost programs”) are excluded from averages but included in total counts. The ghost rate of 56% represents the share of programs with a zero or null EPC.
