Many small sites are able to generate income and stay alive thanks to affiliate programs. One such program is offered by web hosts, a system where they pay members for selling their web hosting service. As an affiliate, you are essentially a provider and equipped with a variety of proprietary tools for promotion.

How it Works

Web hosting affiliate programs are similar to other advertising campaigns. The major difference is that you’re selling hosting plans. Some of the most successful affiliates use blogs and websites to attract clients. Another effective approach involves connecting with others in the industry to advertise via text links and banner ads.

Yahoo:

The Yahoo affiliate program pays anywhere from $60 to $70 for each successful client you refer. Some affiliates have reported making as much as $100.

LunarPages:

One of the most reliable companies in the industry, LunarPages also has a nice affiliate program. They pay you $65 per referral with bonuses for successfully referring advertisers. You will earn an additional $5 for each client the referrer brings in.

Webcom:

This is another highly rated program. Web.com offers $80 in commission with significant increases when selling a certain number of packages.
