Quick answer

Yes. Hostinger runs an active affiliate program paying a reported up to 60% commission per sale, with a 30-day cookie window. Commission is one-time. Because plan prices are heavily discounted on first purchase, the absolute amount per referral is smaller than the percentage suggests.

Program overview

Hostinger sells low-cost shared, VPS and cloud hosting with aggressive promotional pricing, and has grown quickly on the back of heavy affiliate and creator marketing. Its program pays a high percentage of a low-priced first purchase.

  1. commissionText Reported at up to 60% commission per sale, one-timeReported to start at 40%; 60% is offer-gated per Hostinger's agreement

    Hostinger's affiliate agreement states commission up to 60% is available through specific offers only, so presenting 60% as the headline rate overstated what a standard affiliate receives.

Editor's notes

Hostinger's marketing page says only that commissions are performance-based. Its legal affiliate agreement is where the substance lives, including that the headline 60% is offer-gated and that unwithdrawn commission expires after two years.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hostinger's 60% commission the standard rate?

No. Hostinger's own affiliate agreement states that commission of up to 60% is available "through specific offers only" and directs you to an account manager. Third-party sources describe a standard structure starting around 40% and rising with volume. Either way it applies to the initial purchase only, and on heavily discounted first terms.
