The Web Hosting Canada Affiliate Program allows you to earn cash commissions by recommending WHC services. When someone signs up for an eligible WHC product using your unique affiliate link, you earn a commission once the sale is confirmed and validated.

After signing up, you’ll get access to your affiliate dashboard and a unique referral link. You can share this link on your website, blog posts, emails, on social media, or directly with clients and contacts.

When someone clicks your link and completes an eligible purchase, the referral is tracked automatically and appears in your affiliate dashboard.

The program is open to anyone who wants to recommend WHC, including agencies, developers, designers, digital marketers, content creators, educators, and comparison or review sites. You don’t need to be an existing WHC customer to join, but current clients can activate their affiliate dashboard directly from their Client Area.

WHC offers fixed commission amounts per sale, depending on the product purchased. Depending on the service, you can earn up to C$300 for a single referral. Eligible products include:

• Web Hosting
• WordPress Hosting
• Reseller Hosting
• VPS and Dedicated servers
• SSL Certificates
• Security products
• Email Marketing services

Commissions are confirmed 60 days after the referred purchase to ensure the sale is final.

Once your confirmed commissions reach the minimum payout threshold of C$100, you can request a payout via PayPal, Interac e-Transfer, or WHC account credit.

All referrals are tracked automatically through your affiliate link. Your affiliate dashboard gives you full visibility into clicks, conversions, and earnings in real time.

No. You do not need a website or a registered business to join the WHC Affiliate Program.

That said, having a platform such as a website, blog, newsletter, or an active presence on social media can significantly increase your results. Online visibility allows you to share your link more broadly, build credibility, and generate ongoing referrals.

Many affiliates start by recommending WHC to their network and then grow their online presence to maximize their commissions. If you’re looking to build your affiliate revenue over the long term, having an online presence quickly becomes a real advantage.

Affiliates are not allowed to refer themselves or earn commissions on their own purchases.

Commissions apply to new qualifying orders placed through your affiliate link, including upgrades or additional services. Renewals do not qualify.

Affiliates are also expected to follow WHC’s terms and conditions and promote services responsibly.

Refer a Friend is designed for WHC clients with an active Web Hosting plan who want to casually recommend WHC to friends or colleagues. When someone signs up for an eligible annual Web Hosting plan and remains active for 45 days, you both receive 3 months of free hosting.

The Affiliate Program is designed for ongoing promotion and offers cash commissions on qualifying new orders across most WHC products. It’s ideal for anyone recommending WHC to a broader audience.

Refer a Friend rewards you with hosting credit, while the Affiliate Program pays cash once you reach the minimum payout threshold. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible to participate in both programs.

The Affiliate Program allows you to earn commissions by referring clients to WHC using your affiliate link. Each referred client creates their own WHC account, and WHC manages hosting, billing, and technical support directly with them. You earn commissions on qualifying new orders, but you do not manage the hosting accounts. However, clients can grant you access if needed.

Being a reseller means hosting multiple clients under your own Reseller Hosting account. You create your own hosting packages, set your own pricing, invoice your clients, and provide front-line support. This option is ideal for professionals who want full control over hosting services and generate recurring revenue.

In short, the Affiliate Program is best if you prefer to recommend WHC without managing client accounts. Being a reseller is better suited for professionals who want to offer hosting under their own brand and manage client relationships directly.
