Best for
✔ SEO and Blog content aimed at web hosting buyers
✔ Audiences that stay subscribed — the commission keeps paying
✔ Traffic from Worldwide except sanctioned regions
Why promote this
▸ $50-$500 + 10% lifetime recurring, run directly by the brand.
▸ Recurring revenue compounds: each retained referral keeps earning after the first month.
▸ A 60 days window gives evergreen content time to convert long after publication.
Avoid if
✖ Your audience does not sit in the Web Hosting space
✖ You need instant approval and payouts under $50
✖ Paid search is your only channel — Google Ads is not permitted
Main drawback

Earnings depend on retention — if referred customers churn early, the recurring tail disappears.
