Estimates based on average commission per sale plus $5 per sub-affiliate sale. Actual earnings vary by plan type and billing term.

How do I sign up for the affiliate program?

You can join through ShareASale or our in-house affiliate program. Both are free to join and you do not need to be an Ultra customer. ShareASale 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.

How long does the tracking cookie last?

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.

What is the two-tier commission structure?

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.

What hosting products can I promote?

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.

Do you provide banners and marketing materials?

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.

Do I need to be an Ultra customer to join?

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.

How and when do I get paid?

Payout schedules and methods depend on which program you join. ShareASale 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.

Can I use PPC or paid ads to promote Ultra?

Policies around paid advertising vary by program. Check the terms of service for your specific affiliate program (ShareASale or in-house) for details on PPC bidding, brand keyword restrictions, and other advertising guidelines.

What makes this program different from other hosting affiliate programs?

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.
