The Tremhost affiliate program pays you 15% commission on every sale you refer to Tremhost. It is free to join, you do not need a website, and you can request a payout once your balance reaches $100. Referrals are tracked with a unique link and a three-month cookie.
How the Tremhost affiliate program works
- Join free. Open the affiliate area in the Tremhost client portal and sign up. You get your unique referral link straight away.
- Share your link. Post it on social media, in WhatsApp groups, on a blog or YouTube channel, or send it to clients and friends who need hosting.
- People buy. When someone clicks your link and places an order within three months, the sale is credited to you.
- Get paid. Once your balance reaches $100, request a payout.
Commission, cookie and payouts
- Commission: 15% of every sale you refer.
- Referral cookie: three months by default. A visitor who clicks today and buys next month still counts as your referral.
- Minimum payout: $100. You can request payment once your balance reaches that amount.
- Payout methods: bank transfer, EcoCash, InnBucks, Payoneer or cryptocurrency. Say which suits you when you request a payout.
- Cost to join: free.
What you get as an affiliate
- A unique referral link that credits every order placed through it to you.
- A dashboard showing clicks, sign-ups and earnings, so you can see which posts and channels bring buyers.
- Email notifications when a referral turns into a commission.
- Branded referral codes on request. Ask on WhatsApp and Tremhost can set up a code in your name, which is easier to remember than a numbered link.
Who the affiliate program suits
The program is aimed at people who already recommend hosting, often for nothing:
- Web designers and developers who tell clients where to host their sites.
- Bloggers and content creators who write or make videos about building websites, small business or technology.
- Trainers and lecturers who teach web design or digital marketing.
- Business owners and IT staff who get asked “who hosts your website?”.
You do not need a company or your own website. Social media, WhatsApp groups and word of mouth all work.
What you would be recommending
Your commission depends on what people buy, so it helps to know the products. Tremhost is a Harare company, founded in 2016, with more than 13,000 domains on its infrastructure. Its main products include:
- cPanel web hosting from $30 a year, with free SSL, unlimited email accounts, daily backups and free migration. Plans renew at the sign-up price.
- Managed WordPress hosting from $15 a month.
- Business email from $5 a month.
- Domains, including .co.zw from $6.99 a year and .com at $15.99 a year.
- KVM VPS servers from $15 a month, and Cloudflare-based security through Tremhost Armor.
Customers can pay in US dollars by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard or cryptocurrency, which makes buying easier for people you refer in Zimbabwe. Web hosting, managed WordPress, business email and reseller hosting carry a 30-day refund on the first order.
Working out what you could earn
Commission is simple to calculate: number of paying referrals × order value × 15%. For example, if four people a month buy a $30-a-year hosting plan, that is $120 in sales and $18 in commission each month. At that rate your balance would pass the $100 payout threshold in about six months. These are example numbers, not a promise of earnings. Your results depend on your audience and how you promote.
Where to share your link
- Your own client handover. When you finish a website for a client, include your link in the handover notes for hosting and email.
- How-to content. A blog post or video on starting a website, setting up business email or moving a site, with the link where it is relevant.
- WhatsApp status and groups. Share a useful tip, such as how to get email on your own domain, with the link at the end.
- Your email signature or social profile. A short “Hosted with Tremhost” line with your link is a low-effort start.
Tips for earning more
- Recommend what fits. Match the product to the person. A blogger needs a small hosting plan; a company with 30 staff may need business email.
- Explain, do not just post a link. A short guide on how you set up a site, with your link in it, works better than a bare link.
- Use your dashboard. See which channels bring buyers and do more of those.
- Be open about it. Tell people it is an affiliate link. Trust is what makes recommendations work.
- Ask for a branded code if you promote by voice, video or in person.
Affiliate or reseller?
Affiliates recommend; resellers sell. If you want to bill clients yourself, set your own prices and keep the whole margin, reseller hosting may suit you better. Reseller plans run from $7 to $60 a month, with unlimited cPanel accounts, WHM and white labelling. For a fuller explanation, read what reseller hosting is. The affiliate program suits people who want to recommend without handling billing or support.
