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:
Signing up with Hostgator’s affiliate program is easy & their affiliate program is available via ImpactRadius. You can join it here.
Once you have signed up for the Hostgator Affiliate program via ImpactRadius, it would take about 3-4 days before they will approve your application.
Payment options
You can get paid by check, ACH, or PayPal. For easy and quick payment, I would suggest using ACH or Paypal.
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?

Hi Harsh,
Thanks for this informative post. However, I am reading so many negative reviews about HostGator.com affiliate program. Sometimes they don’t pay for small no. Of referrals or sometimes they are delaying the payment.
I am in a dilemma to choose which to promote. How’s your experience and what would you suggest regarding to their dealings.
Kind regards.

Back in the days, they had an in-house affiliate program which was pretty bad. However, now they are using ImpactRadius as a system and now the problem is gone.
Hello Sir
is it possible to book hosting for my client from my affiliate link?
@Ami
You can’t. However, you can give your affiliate links to your client and ask them to signup. The hosting company matches the payment details with affiliate links and thus decide when to validate or in-validate a sales.
Your writing skills are simple and great, even beginner can learn from your tutorials.
I’m making already decent amount of money with my other blog and now I stated two more Blogs after seeing the Success of Ease Bedding Dot Com.
I had my first sale with siteground for $50, despite of having very very little traffic, because blog is only two months old.
So going to Join some more Hosting Companies; such as Hostgator, because, it was my first hosting, where my blog was started and I know they are good to promote them.
Thanks.
I’m about to start an affiliate program.
Until today, I thought Bluehost was the best. I have been using them for close to a year and honestly no issues.
But all the bad reviews about their customer service just kills me. Now I can’t recommend them to my audience.
I’m happy Hostgator accepts affiliates without an account with them.
Thanks for the post.
