How to Use the HostDare Affiliate Program

Welcome to the HostDare Affiliate Program!

Our affiliate program allows you to earn money by referring new customers to HostDare. After activating your account, you'll receive a unique referral link to share — and you can even create custom product links to increase conversions.


 Step 1: Activate Your Affiliate Account

  1. Visit https://bill.hostdare.com.

  2. Log in or register for a HostDare client account.

  3. In your dashboard, click Affiliate Program from the top menu or sidebar.

  4. Click Activate Affiliate Account.

After activation, you’ll be taken to your Affiliate Dashboard.


 Step 2: Get Your Unique Affiliate Link

After activating your affiliate account, you'll get a personal referral URL like:

https://bill.hostdare.com/aff.php?aff=123

(Replace 123 with your actual affiliate ID — shown in your dashboard.)

You can share this link anywhere — blog posts, social media, YouTube, or emails — to refer clients and earn commission.


 Step 3: Link Directly to Specific Products

You can link users to specific product or service pages while still earning affiliate credit.

How to do it:

  1. Find the product URL you want to promote
    Example:

    https://bill.hostdare.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=5
    
  2. Append your affiliate ID:

    https://bill.hostdare.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=5&aff=123
    

 Use this format for all service/product pages — just update the pid (product ID) and aff (your affiliate ID).

This is ideal for targeting:

  • VPS hosting plans

  • Shared hosting

  • Domain services

  • Add-ons or upgrades


 Step 4: Track Your Performance

From your Affiliate Dashboard, you can view:

  • Total clicks

  • Signups generated

  • Pending commissions

  • Approved and paid commissions

  • Payout history

Tracking is done automatically — no manual action required.


 Step 5: Commission Payouts

We pay commissions once the following conditions are met:

  •  Minimum payout amount: $50

  • Holding period: 60 days from the customer's signup date (to account for fraud, refunds, or cancellations)

Once your eligible commissions total $50 or more and the 60-day period has passed, you may request a payout.

Payouts are made via PayPal . Ensure your payment info is up to date in your client profile.


⚠️ Important Guidelines

  • Affiliate cookies are valid for 90 days.

  • Only legitimate referrals are counted — no self-referrals or coupon abuse.

  • Spam or misleading marketing is strictly prohibited and may disqualify commissions.

  • Commissions apply only to completed purchases that are not canceled or refunded.
