Art. 4.9. Affiliate Program

Through the affiliate program, you earn 15% of the value of Shared Hosting packages. Orders for domain names, VPS servers, and reseller hosting packages are excluded.

How Does It Work?

Each affiliate will receive a unique referral link that will be used by their referred clients. When a visitor from your website connects to our site through this unique referral link, our system will automatically record the services ordered by the client. After the services are paid for, you will be able to see a 15% commission from the value of the ordered services in your affiliate account.

The commission for the affiliate program will only be considered if the affiliate brings unique clients per commission.

Commissioning in the affiliate program is closely tied to bringing in unique clients. This means that the affiliate receives a commission only if they manage to bring in a new client who has not used the respective services or products before.

Common Aspects Related to Commissioning Based on Unique Clients:

– Unique Client: Defined as a new client who has not been previously registered in the company’s database and who has not made any prior purchases.

– Tracking: Various tracking methods are used to ensure that each referred client is unique. These include cookies, user IDs, and other tracking technologies.

– Validation: After a new client is registered, the affiliate program verifies and validates if the client is truly unique before awarding the commission to the affiliate.

– Commission Payment: The affiliate receives the commission only after the unique client is validated and, in some cases, after the new client performs a certain action (e.g., purchase, subscription to a service).

Commission payments will be made after a 30-day period if a minimum amount of 10 EUR is reached upon your request. In the case of online payments, the commission payment period can be extended up to 60 days to avoid fraud.

Art. 4.10:We do not accept domains registered with us and/or hosted on our servers that do not comply with GDPR standards and do not provide authenticity certificates for the products sold, or sell counterfeit products.
