Earn commissions on every Ultra Web Hosting referral with the industry's longest tracking cookie (365 days) and two-tier payouts on sub-affiliate sales.
Long cookies. Real recurring sub-affiliate payouts. A brand with track record.
The Ultra Web Hosting affiliate program pays you a commission for every visitor you refer who signs up for one of our web hosting or reseller hosting plans. We have been running our affiliate program since 2004 and have paid out over $100,000 in commissions to our partners.
What sets us apart from other hosting affiliate programs is our 365-day tracking cookie. Most hosting companies give you a 30 to 90 day window. Ours lasts a full year, which means if someone clicks your link today and signs up 11 months from now, you still get credit for that sale.
We also offer two-tier commissions. If someone you referred signs up as an affiliate themselves and starts sending their own referrals, you earn an additional $5 for each of those sales. It adds up fast, especially if you are referring bloggers, web designers, or freelancers who are likely to promote hosting to their own audiences.
You can join through either of our two programs depending on your preference.
Join through Awin, one of the largest affiliate networks in the industry, to manage Ultra alongside your other merchant programs in one dashboard. Or sign up for our in-house affiliate program for direct tracking, real-time stats, and payouts without a middleman.
Start with Awin →What makes the Ultra affiliate program stand apart from Bluehost, HostGator, GreenGeeks, and the rest.
Your referral cookie lasts a full 12 months. Most hosting affiliate programs offer 30 to 90 days. That means you have four to twelve times the window to earn credit for a sale compared to competitors like Bluehost, HostGator, and GreenGeeks.
Earn an extra $5 for every sale made by affiliates you referred. If you send web designers, bloggers, or freelancers to our program and they start referring customers, you earn on their sales too. This creates a passive income layer on top of your direct referrals.
Ultra offers hosting terms from one month all the way out to three years. This flexibility gives your visitors more options and lowers the barrier to sign up, which means a higher conversion rate on your referral traffic.
Your affiliate dashboard includes over 50 professionally designed banners and text links in multiple sizes. You can also build custom links to any page on our site. Track which creatives perform best and optimize your campaigns with detailed statistics. Browse our banner gallery.
Ultra has been hosting websites for over two decades with multiple industry awards and hundreds of client testimonials. When you recommend Ultra, you are recommending a company with a real track record, which makes the sell easier and keeps refund rates low.

The questions we get most from new and prospective affiliates. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.
You can join through Awin or our in-house affiliate program. Both are free to join and you do not need to be an Ultra customer. Awin is one of the largest affiliate networks in the industry and lets you manage multiple merchant programs in one dashboard. Our in-house program gives you direct access to tracking and payouts without a middleman.
Our tracking cookie lasts 365 days. That is significantly longer than most hosting affiliate programs, which typically offer 30 to 90 days. If a visitor clicks your link and signs up any time within the next 12 months, you get credit for the sale.
If someone you refer also joins our affiliate program and starts sending their own referrals, you earn an additional $5 for every sale they generate. This second tier runs on top of your regular commissions and can add up quickly if you refer people who are likely to promote hosting, like web designers, bloggers, or freelancers.
You earn commissions on referrals to any of our hosting plans, including shared hosting, WordPress hosting, Nginx hosting, and reseller hosting. Ultra offers billing terms from one month to three years, which gives your audience flexibility and increases the likelihood of a conversion.
Yes. Your affiliate dashboard includes over 50 professionally designed banner ads and text links in a variety of sizes. You can also create custom tracking links to any page on the Ultra website. We provide detailed click and conversion statistics so you can see which creatives perform best. View our banner gallery here.
No. Anyone can sign up for our affiliate program regardless of whether you host with us. That said, many of our most successful affiliates are existing customers who recommend Ultra based on their own experience, since it makes writing genuine reviews and recommendations much easier.
Payout schedules and methods depend on which program you join. Awin handles payments through their standard system, which supports direct deposit and check. Our in-house program has its own payout schedule. You can track your pending and approved commissions in real time through your affiliate dashboard.
Policies around paid advertising vary by program. Check the terms of service for your specific affiliate program (Awin or in-house) for details on PPC bidding, brand keyword restrictions, and other advertising guidelines.
Three things stand out. First, our 365-day tracking cookie is four to twelve times longer than what most hosting companies offer. Second, our two-tier structure means you can earn passive income from sub-affiliates. Third, Ultra has been in business since 2002 with a strong reputation, which means higher conversion rates and lower refund rates for your referrals.
Both programs are free to join. Pick the one that fits your dashboard preference, grab your tracking links, and start promoting.
