Who is Kinsta’s Affiliate Program for?
Kinsta’s affiliate program is as amazing as the rest of the service. I had many previous experiences with other hosts, but no one has Kinsta’s recurring payments on each referred client. Other hosts have something similar but with incredibly lower figures.
Kinsta also has a great feature that allows to transfer a website from my account to the client’s. When I do it, I add my referral ID.

The Kinsta affiliate program complements its high quality of hosting. Equipped with a powerful affiliate dashboard that provides important data points and timely payouts.
I have worked with countless hosts, but most offer just one-time payments. Isn’t it fair that I am rewarded for a referral as long as the client keeps paying every month? Kinsta thought of this affiliate fairness, and it’s the only hosting affiliate model you should use if you want true collaboration with developers who help you grow.
Kinsta has one of the best affiliate programs with recurring commissions. The registration process is simple and the team behind can help you with any questions. We’re happy to share Kinsta with our clients because we always get positive feedback for their hosting performance.
Kinsta’s affiliate program is great to work with. Registration was quick and painless; within minutes our office was provided a panel to manage our accounts. We’ve used several large cloud hosting providers, and have yet to find a single company that is as attentive and helpful as Kinsta.
Kinsta had essentially perfect LoadStorm and Blitz tests. They also had no flaws in any other tests. I’m at a loss for words to praise their performance.
Kinsta has one of the friendliest affiliate programs. They’re definitely one of the best hosting providers in the world. I’ve been using them for a long time and have never had any problems.
Many of our clients come to us for hosting recommendations – they need hosting that performs well and has excellent support. Kinsta has always provided top notch hosting to us and any client we’ve referred over – that’s why we’ve partnered with them and recommend them to our clients and white-label agencies.
Kinsta’s hosting is superb (with features, reliability, performance, and customer support all second to none), and their affiliate program is everything you’d want it to be: offering an easy-to-use dashboard, timely payouts, and even recurring commissions! Always engaging, enthusiastic and ready to help, I really can’t recommend the team at Kinsta highly enough! Suffice it to say they are stars within our industry!
The registration process was as simple as possible. And the dashboard is extremely clean so you always know exactly where your commission payments are, and the deposits are right on time. As an expert in the web design and development industry, people look to us for hosting advice where recommending Kinsta is very easy and is now a part of each of our proposals.
As an agency owner, Kinsta’s affiliate program is the best affiliate program I have ever seen. It is nearly unheard of for a best-in-class hosting company to provide both one-time commissions and lifetime recurring commissions with every new customer you help bring to their ecosystem. But what I enjoy most is seeing client reactions after their site gets moved to Kinsta, and they realize how much faster their site is now.
Since I switched to Kinsta, I’ve never looked back. The performance and quality of support is second to none and I recommend them to all my clients. Even their affiliate program is world class.
The best thing about the Kinsta affiliate program is that on the one hand I can confidently recommend Kinsta as a great hosting platform and on the other hand, get a lifetime recurring commission from them. It’s a win win! Since Kinsta is great at retaining their users, I get recurring commissions for years for each user I send them.
