74B#156 overall · #14 in Infrastructure ✓ verified Oct 20, 2026

KnownHost provides fully managed web hosting, from shared and reseller hosting to managed VPS, cloud and dedicated servers, with WordPress, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin options, SSL certificates and domain registration. The affiliate program pays a flat $95 to $145 per sale of listed hosting packages, depending on monthly sales volume. Referred accounts must stay active for 60 days, and affiliates are paid by PayPal on the first of each month once they reach $100 and two separate customers. Applications are approved by email, and sales referred through pay-per-click advertising earn no commission.

Commission details: A flat amount per sale on listed hosting packages, set by monthly sales volume: $95 each for 1 to 10 sales a month, $120 for 11 to 15, $135 for 16 to 20 and $145 for 21 or more. Add-on packages, software licenses, domain registrations, Entry and Entry Plus plans and SSL certificates earn nothing. A referred account must stay active for at least 60 days before commission is paid, and you must refer at least two separate customers. Unpaid, charged-back or reversed sales do not qualify.
