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.

Already Earning With Us
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.
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.

FAQ
How Do I Create My Affiliate Link?
Log in to the affiliate dashboard, click on the “Make affiliate link” button, paste any URL you’d like to link to from the Kinsta website, and click on “Create link”. Learn more about affiliate links.
I Just Made a Referral, but It Wasn’t Tracked
Kinsta’s affiliate dashboard can take up to 24 hours to show a new referral, so give it some time. To see your conversions, log in to the dashboard and check the ‘Referred customers’ area.
If your referral doesn’t display after 24h, you can claim it by reaching out to [email protected] within 14 days of the subscription date. Sometimes the client you refer doesn’t use the affiliate link in the right way, the cookie doesn’t fire, or another disruption takes place. In these cases, please get in touch. You’ll be required to provide some information so our team can investigate further and confirm that you should get credit for the sale.
When Will I Get Paid?
Once the balance of your approved commissions (both one-time and recurring) is more than $50.00, your commissions are eligible for payment and will be automatically included in the next payment round. Payments are made via PayPal between the 15th and 20th of each month.
My Customer Upgraded Their Plan. Will My Recurring Commission Increase?
Yes. Your recurring commission will be raised accordingly. Recurring commissions are always adjusted when a customer upgrades, downgrades, or makes any other plan change, so they are equivalent to 10% of the customer’s new plan’s price.
When switching between billing intervals, we’ll calculate the day period the customer was on each plan and prorate. Here are some example calculations.
Do I Need to Be a Kinsta Client to Become an Affiliate?
No. But you should try our premium hosting services, they’re awesome!
