I have been an affiliate partner with Hostgator for more than four years now. Every month I make around $1200 from Hostgator’s affiliate program. If you are new to Hostgator, you should check out our Hostgator review.

Hostgator offers unlimited hosting with quality customer support, and being a user of Hostgator myself, I have no hesitation in referring someone to Hostgator. Indeed, this is a win-win situation for me. I recommend one of the finest shared hosting services to people, and every successful referral makes a minimum of $50 for me.

Have you ever considered that instead of paying for hosting, you could make money from Hostgator’s hosting service?

Like most other hosting services, Hostgator offers an affiliate program.

Hostgator affiliate program Review:

Hostgator’s affiliate program is available to everyone, and you don’t even need to have a hosting account with Hostgator to sign up.

How to get started with Hostgator’s affiliate program:

Before we get into detail about Hostgator’s affiliate program, here is a quick report of proof of income from Hostgator’s affiliate program:

Unlimited affiliate income

The best thing about the Hostgator affiliate program is the fact that they pay according to the number of referrals received. For example, based on the number of people you refer to Hostgator, you will be earning as follows:

  • 9 * $75: $675
  • 11* $100: $1100
  • 21 *$125: $2625

So far, I have not faced any issues with Hostgator’s affiliate program on ImpactRadius, and I have been successfully running it for a year. At the time of the writing of this post, Hostgator has paid me a total of $12,000+, and another $4000 is unpaid. It has worked for me, and if you use the program properly, this hosting affiliate program will work for you, too.

Here are highlights of the Hostgator Affiliate Program on ImpactRadius:

  • Payouts: Impact Radius gives you much more flexibility with frequency and date of payment. We will still process and lock transactions for payment on the 11th of the month but you now can get your payments on a specific day of the month OR when you hit a threshold.
  • Reporting: You will have much more detailed and insightful reporting on over 20 data points (ex: Invoice ID, Client ID, device, package type/term, domain, etc.). Additionally, you will have the ability to automate and download customized reports.
  • Tracking: Coupon codes and affiliate links will continue to be the main tracking methods but again with much more insights through improved reporting.
  • For a custom coupon code you need to email the Hostgator Affiliate team at [email protected]

Were you aware that you could make this kind of money from Hostgator’s affiliate program, or is this concept new to you?

    I also made some good amount from HostGator affiliate program. Best way to generate more sale is, to promote the special offers like Black Friday.
    Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

    Hi Harsh, I recently landed on this blog and i thing that i can make a huge income but some are question in my mind like…
    * There are many offline people near me who ask me for getting their website made and If i refer them from my blogs hostgator banner, then will i be awarded commission for that ????

  3. Esther Paul

    This is nice and it will help many who like to go for web hosting as they can get things at discount price.

    So its win win for both.

    Thanks for the information Harsh

    I’ve only managed to get a few sales a year even with good traffic per day. Either I’m doing something wrong or it’s because my blog is not in blogging niche

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Michael It converts well only when you are getting targeted traffic. Specially, when people are looking for Hosting and then they see your ad or read your post. A normal visitor might click but will never convert into sales. It’s a better idea to get more targeted visitors.
      For the same, I have implemented a hosting blog and conversion on that blog is more than ShoutMeLoud, even with less traffic.
      You can check out at http://wphostingdiscount.com

    This is really good. But we need great traffic to get such conversions….

  6. Ajay singh bisht

    thats really big money…gosh ! people are not earning that much with adsense…good job harsh..

  7. Jasmine

    Thank you for the sharing. It is really inspirational to see how much you are making every month from HostGator just by promoting them. Anyway, HostGator is really a very good web hosting company, I myself is hosting a few blogs and websites with them and so far I have only praises for them.

    My previous months revenue from them have been pretty good also. Your report further testifies this web hosting company!

    Let’s make some serious money from HostGator!

  8. Shekhar@AlongITdotcom

    That really a nice income from one single source. It is really a boosting for their affiliate. I hope the trick used for promoting them is more important for earning.

    “Hostgator pays only for active account and not for those account who signed up but never uploaded website on their server.”
    As you told earlier and later in comments too, that one can be a hostgator affiliate without having a hosting account with it. Please clear the “uploading of website” thing.
    Thanks.

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Rahul
      If I buy a Webhosting package from Hostgator using your link, but don’t install WordPress, or host a Website on my hosting… It will be counted as inactive account.. And you will not receive a commission for the same…

      1. How to be approved application for host gator affiliate please let me know I two times declined by hostgator

        1. Harsh Agrawal

          Mr. M
          1) Get a custom domain
          2) Make your blog a genuine blog.

  10. fazal mayar

    thats big time money harsh, I also offer monthly hostgator coupon code on my blog but i need tips from you . 🙂

  11. doroki

    This is great and amazing figure that you are earning from one affiliate account. Coupon Code details and effective use needs to be understand. But one more thing is that you need good traffic to your site. By the way it seems great way to earn money.

  12. Suraj @Smartfatblogger

    Thanks for sharing this. Is it compulsory that you need to host on hostgator to become an affiliate?

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      No…YOu can be an affiliate with them without having any hosting account.

  13. Michael Aulia @CravingTech.com

    Wow, that’s some serious earnings from HostGator! I’m only able to get a few commissions so far. Should have worked harder like you to get more!

  14. Pratap Reddy

    Till now i have tried affiliate products of my niche only. By reading this article i came to know that hosting companies also pays good affiliate commission. Thanks for the information.

  15. Pradeep Bhandari

    I am no good in affiliate program but gonna give a try to hostgator affiliate program…btw you got a really good commission on feb 😀

  16. Harry Sehgal

    Thanks Harsh I am already using this Affiliate Program. Hostgator is the best Host Provider.

  17. Surender Markam

    I think its needs lots of traffic to achieve this much of referral. btw thank you for sharing with us.

    1. Jean-Michel Mailhot

      I only get 40-80 uniques per day to my squeeze page and refers over 60 refs per month. You dont need lots of traffic, you simply need good conversion rate!

    2. zack

      u dont need lot trafic for 21 person per month can do easly by offering free web design in your town and force client to register from it use just wordpress free template and fire it up if u have 21 / month is 21*125

  18. Rahul Ghosh

    Dude where do you market your hostgator service and by Referrals you mean Those who buy hosting packages right? How much commissions do i get for referring domain purchases.

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Rahul
      First, I won’t recommend buying domains from Hostgator, as they charge $15/domain, which is costlier than what you pay at Godaddy or ShoutMydomain.
      I usually promote it within blog post….. And yes, referral means when people go and buy it…(Affiliate commission)…
      They pay $50/sale for first 5
      $75 5-10 sales
      $100 10-20 sales
      For sales above 21, you will be getting $125 sale..

  19. ifham khan

    I thinks it is the best and easiest way to earn lots of money. b/w I have a question that can we use refferal through mailing to people allowing them to use our refferal via email??

    1. aman

      yes you can send the affliate link through mail aswell…

  20. shashank chinchli
