Referral Program Agreement

These Terms of Service (“These Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and World Host Group US Inc (“We”, “us”, “WebHostingBuzz”) and govern the WebHostingBuzz’s Refer-a-Friend program (“Referral Program” or “this Program”). These Terms are valid in addition to the existing terms and notices of WebHostingBuzz, including but not limited to, Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Usage Policy. By participating in our Referral Program, you agree to the terms outlined below.

The BWebHostingBuzzRAND Referral Program gives you the opportunity to earn a 25% commission of the total purchase amount on eligible products (defined below), for each new customer that originates from your referral link. By participating in our Referral Program you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Commissions through this program cannot be combined with any other referral or affiliate programs offered by WebHostingBuzz.

How to participate in the Referral Program

Any customer can participate in the Referral Program by:

  1. Sign in to your WebHostingBuzz account.
  2. In the top menu navigation bar, click on ‘My Account’.
  3. On the left sidebar, click on ‘Affiliate Program’.
  4. If you have not joined yet, click on the ‘Opt-in’ button to join the Referral Program.
  5. Finally, generate a unique referral link by clicking on the ‘Create new link’ button.

Once you have generated your first link you will be able to copy & share that with your network & audience. You have the right to generate multiple links which can redirect to any page on our website. Only links generated through this process will be considered as qualifying links.

Eligible Products & Services

The following products and services qualify as eligible products and services under these Terms:

  • Shared Hosting Packages
  • Reseller Hosting Packages
  • VPS Servers
  • Dedicated Servers

Products not eligible for a commission include, but are not limited to, domain names, email packages, licenses, and any add-ons.

After you have shared your link, we will automatically track and generate a commission for any new customer sales originating from your link, provided they have purchased an eligible product.

Commissions for eligible products are held in a pending state for 45 days for refunds, chargebacks, and fraud reasons. After 45 days the commission will be reviewed and if the customer remains active, the commission becomes eligible for a payout as specified below.

Commission payout terms

You can request your commission balance to be paid out via account credit, PayPal, or Wire/Bank transfer; by submitting a ticket to the ‘Affiliate’ department provided that you meet the minimum balance requirement for that payment method as the following:

  • Account Credit: No minimum requirement
  • PayPal: $100+ in approved commissions
  • Wire/Bank Transfer: $200+ in approved commissions

In case you choose the Account Credit, the commission balance will stay valid indefinitely. In the event you do not meet the minimum payout requirements for PayPal and/or Wire/Bank Transfer, the commission balance will remain on your account until the minimum threshold has been met.

Payouts are performed between the 1st - 5th of each month. If you request your payout after this date range, it will be scheduled for the next round of payouts (between the 1st and 5th of the following month). Due to different processing timelines among financial institutions in different countries, the actual release of funds and/or your receipt of the commission balance might take several days. However, once your ticket is received and confirmed by us, unless we could not realize the transaction for reasons not attributable to us, your commission balance is punctually, during the payout period of each month as elaborated in this paragraph, paid out.

Note, depending on the policies of your bank, a bank transfer may incur additional fees and exchange rate differences which are outside of our control. The burden of this risk is solely upon you, and we do not bear any responsibility in relation to this risk. However, to mitigate this risk, we recommend using PayPal.

Commission payouts are bound to the restrictions of this section. In case any sale of eligible products and services through the qualifying link falls under any of the following prohibitions, there will be no commission recognized under the Referral Program:
