What is a Qualified Commission?

Each time a new customer signs up through your affiliate link, you are awarded a commission for the sale through our web hosting affiliate program. However, some might have questions about the commission process, so I wanted to explain it fully to you here.

The first thing I would like to cover with you is what is a qualified commission?

A qualified commission is any sale you refer to us, which:

was referred via your Affiliate Tracking URL

is a 12/24 month Shared Basic or Advanced Hosting Plan

Here are a few things that may disqualify your claim to any commission:

have a coupon attached to it

have another affiliate's name attached to it

include Reseller accounts, renewals, or add-ons like Dedicated IPs, extra domain names, JSP, etc.

Do I get paid for additional features?

No. At this time, we only offer commissions on new accounts purchased with Synergy Informatics. Renewals, add-on domains, sub domains, and extra add-ons like JSP, Dedicated IPs, ASP, etc, are not eligible for commissions.

Also, please note that we do not allow self-referrals in our program, as per our terms of service. We do manual self-referral checks once/month to assure nothing slips through the cracks, and if we do find a self-referred commission, we will simply delete it. A self-referral consists of a matching billing and affiliate name/address.

How will I know when my commission has been qualified?

You can check your affiliate status from your account with us.
