Terms of Services

Referral Program of Hostinger International is offering you the opportunity to refer friends and network via a referral program and earn up to 20% of each successful referee's first purchase. The referee will get up to 20% discount at the checkout! By participating in the Referral Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Services. All of Hostinger's decisions are final and binding.

Referral Program can not be combined with other Hostinger referral programs or incentives in respect of the same purchase. These Terms of Services outline the Referral Program that started in 2022. Any referrals made before 2022 will not be applied.

How to share or send an invitation:

1. Sign in to your Hostinger account.
2. Click ‘Refer and Earn’ button.
3. Start referring: Share the referral link, send an email invitation, or share the exact plan. 

Note: If you have no active referral within 6 months, your referral account will be canceled. You can easily rejoin our referral program anytime!

Warning: If you have violated ToS, your account will be disabled, and you will not have the access to the Refer and Earn section anymore.

Once you’ve sent the referral, the referred person will need to complete these steps before you receive the reward:

• Click the referral link.
• Purchase services eligible for Referral Program. Eligible services include Cloud Hosting, Agency Hosting, VPS, Hostinger Email, Email Marketing (Hostinger Reach), and Hostinger Horizons, which are eligible for 1-month or 12+ months subscriptions, and Shared Hosting, Website Builder and 1-Click OpenClaw which are eligible for 12+ months subscriptions. 
• Domain-related services are not eligible.
• Referral rewards are granted only for the referred friend's new purchase of an eligible service.

In summary: You earn a referral reward when your friend makes a new purchase using your referral link. You do not earn commissions on cross-sells, upgrades, or renewals by the same referred user — recurring commissions on those purchases are available only under the Agency Partner Program. See “Recurring Commissions for Agency Partners” below for details. Commissions are not earned on any subsequent purchase by the same referred user (i.e., any purchase that is not their new purchase — including cross-sells, upgrades, or renewals), unless you are an approved Agency Partner — see "Recurring Commissions for Agency Partners" below.

• Do not refund the payment and be an active user for at least 45 days (active user means that account is not deactivated). Referral Program is mainly for referring new users.

To check the status of your referrals:

1. Sign in to your Hostinger account.
2. Click ‘Refer and Earn’.
3. Click ‘My Referrals’.
4. For any reward listed as Referral, you'll see the status of the referral under Status column:
   1. Pending: Your referral has been invited to use Hostinger but hasn't yet paid for a service.
   2. Qualified: Your referral has purchased a plan.
   3. Declined: Your referral purchased a plan and later refunded it. Your referral purchased not an eligible service for the commission (domain services). Your referral had an existing eligible services and the client is not new to Hostinger.
   4. Approved: You have been credited reward for referral.

Exact reward amount depends on the order value, which will be bought by the user who used a referral link. To see earnings:

1. Sign in to your Hostinger account.
2. Click ‘Refer and Earn’.
3. Click ‘My Referrals’.
4. See Your rewards table.

Note: If the commissions are older than 2 years and have not been withdrawn – it will be removed from your referral account's balance.

Recurring Commissions for Agency Partners

In addition to the standard Referral Program described above, Hostinger's Agency Partner Program offers approved Partners recurring commissions on their referred clients' ongoing purchases:

•           New referrals: Partners earn a 20% commission on a referred client's new purchase. The corresponding 20% discount applies only to new purchases.

•           Cross-sells, upgrades, and renewals: Partners earn a 10% commission on cross-sells, upgrades, and renewals from referred clients. A cross-sell is any purchase that is not a new purchase, made directly via the Partner's referral link or coupon.

•           Recurring commissions (the 10% described above) are exclusive to approved Agency Partners. Regular Referral Program participants keep their 20% commission and 20% discount on new purchases but do not earn commissions on cross-sells, upgrades, or renewals — see “In summary” above.

•           Activity requirement: To continue receiving recurring commissions, a Partner must generate at least $100 USD in referred purchase volume every 6 months. If this requirement is not met, the Partner will stop receiving recurring commissions on cross-sells, upgrades, and renewals until the requirement is met again. This does not affect the Partner's 20% commission on new referrals.

 All other Referral Program terms, restrictions, payout rules, and eligibility conditions described in these Terms of Service apply equally to Agency Partners earning recurring commissions, unless explicitly stated otherwise in this section.

Reward payout rules:

Earnings will be transferred via Paypal, Wire transfer or Hostinger Balance depending on the payment method you have chosen on the referral dashboard

• Earnings will be issued after collecting 50 USD of earnings for PayPal
• Earnings will be issued after collecting 200 USD of earnings for Wire transfer
• Earnings will be issued after collecting 0.10 USD of earnings for Hostinger Balance

How to choose payment method:

• Sign in to your Hostinger account
• Click ‘Earn and Refer’
• Click ‘My Referrals’
• Select the preferred payment method – PayPal, Wire transfer or Hostinger Balance. You will be able to change your bank account details after choosing the wire transfer method. You may update your preferred payout method at any time. However, if Hostinger Balance is selected and the payout threshold is reached, the reward will be paid out immediately to your Hostinger Balance. This payout is final and cannot be reverted. You may still change your payout method for future rewards after this payout is made.

Note: Rewards cannot be transferred to another Hosting account. Hostinger Balance rewards can be used to purchase, renew and upgrade any Hostinger services.

Note: Rewards for Hostinger Balance are being paid out immediately when you reach the required threshold. The payout will be done in your local currency. Once paid, these rewards are final and cannot be reverted back toward the referral threshold or cashed out.

Note: Rewards for PayPal are being paid out daily with automation which starts from 09:00 UTC. While the automation is running, it triggers payment for all eligible rewards. If you become eligible for a reward after the automation is done running for that day, your reward will be processed and issued with the following day’s automation. So please allow for some delay due to such automation and the time that PayPal may take to process the transaction. Please note that your payment may be declined by PayPal for several reasons, including regulatory compliance issues, risk concerns, or because the recipient's email address in a specific country is unable to accept transactions. If you have not received an eligible commission, please contact PayPal support or update your payment details. Following these updates, the commission will be reissued automatically the next day.

Note: Rewards for Wire transfers are being paid out weekly on Thursday. If you become eligible for a reward after that day or technical issues prevent your payout from being sent on the scheduled date, your reward will be processed and issued next Thursday.  Please note that international wire transfer takes up to seven business days on average, depending on differences in time zones, foreign currencies, and banking systems. For certain countries (e.g., India, Pakistan), it can take even longer. To check if you received the payment, please contact your bank regarding payments from HOSTINGER INTERNATIONAL LTD. Please note that your payment may be disabled by the bank for various reasons. If you have not received an eligible commission, please update your payment details, and our team will reissue the commission the following month. Alternatively, you might want to consider using PayPal to receive your commission more quickly. 

Warning: Depending on your bank’s policies, the wire transfer may charge extra fees and exchange rate differences. You may receive less reward amount because of this. To avoid these charges, consider using PayPal or Hostinger Balance.

Warning: If you have any issues with the commission attribution or the referral payout, you shall send an email to referrals@hostinger.com.

Restrictions

Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes. The Referral Program is meant only for referring people that are already in your network: your friends, family, colleagues, clients, and their networks. Therefore, referral links should not be published or distributed on commercial websites, any blogs or YouTube channels/videos, but only on your personal social media where your network can see the referral links. You are prohibited from “spamming” anyone with referral invitations. This includes mass texting, emailing, or messaging people you do not know or using automated systems/bots through any channel to distribute, post, or otherwise share your referral link.

Self-referrals are strictly prohibited. You may not use the Referral Program to refer yourself or any accounts connected to you. If we determine that a referral is associated with the same user, the referral will be deemed ineligible and any associated commissions will be voided. Repeated violations may result in the suspension of your referral account, and you will no longer have access to use the Referral Program.

You are prohibited from using any type of Pay per Click or any other paid advertising methods (including bidding on keywords and phrases containing the "Hostinger" trademark, or variations or misspellings of the trademarked term on Pay per Click or Pay per Impression campaigns on the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, Bing or others)).
