The DotMoose Affiliate Program pays 20% recurring commission on qualifying DotMoose-operated service revenue for as long as the referred service remains eligible and active.
Eligible products currently include Shared Hosting, Backup Storage, VPS, Object Storage and Managed App Hosting. Eligible renewals continue earning commission, making this an ongoing recurring-revenue program rather than a one-time CPA offer.
Affiliates receive 20% of qualifying DotMoose-operated service revenue generated by valid referred customers.
A retained hosting customer can continue generating commission across future eligible billing cycles.
DotMoose states that affiliates continue earning while the referred service remains eligible and active.
The value of a referral depends heavily on customer retention rather than only the initial purchase.
Qualifying Shared Hosting, Backup Storage, VPS, Object Storage and Managed App Hosting service charges and eligible renewals earn commission.
Quote-led dedicated or custom services can qualify on the eligible DotMoose-operated service portion, with manual commission recording where WHMCS cannot automatically calculate it.
Software and licence costs, domains, taxes, Product Addons and usage charges are excluded from standard affiliate commission.
The customer's total invoice can therefore be higher than the amount used to calculate the 20% commission.
When a customer uses an eligible promotion, percentage commission is calculated from the qualifying amount actually paid.
A discounted first billing cycle can therefore generate less commission than the same service at its regular price.
New affiliate commission remains pending for 30 days before becoming available.
The hold allows DotMoose to resolve refunds, cancellations, fraud and invalid referrals before commission becomes withdrawable.
The DotMoose Affiliate Program has a broad hosting and infrastructure audience. DotMoose itself identifies customers, creators, freelancers, web designers and agencies as natural referral partners.
Its affiliate education additionally highlights WordPress beginners, Canadian small businesses, developers and professional client-referral workflows. Editorially, VPS buyers, backup users, managed-app customers and object-storage users are also high-intent segments because these products directly generate qualifying commission.
Web professionals routinely need to recommend hosting when launching client websites, applications and WordPress projects.
Hosting referrals can become a recurring-revenue layer around an existing development or design workflow.
Agencies can recommend DotMoose directly to suitable clients while keeping the customer's hosting account separate from the agency relationship.
A steady flow of retained client referrals can create compounding recurring commission.
Hosting explanations, domain-versus-hosting guides, WordPress setup tutorials and website-launch checklists naturally create relevant referral opportunities.
Beginner-focused education can capture buyers at the point where they first need a hosting provider.
DotMoose positions multiple services around Canadian hosting infrastructure, making Canada-focused business and technology audiences a natural fit.
Local-business, Canadian WordPress and Canadian hosting comparison content can capture geographically relevant search intent.
DotMoose operates VPS, Backup Storage, Object Storage and Managed App Hosting in addition to conventional shared hosting.
Technical infrastructure customers can generate higher recurring dollar commission than entry-level shared-hosting users.
DotMoose provides dedicated guidance for SEO publishers, niche-site operators, YouTube and short-form creators.
Tutorials and problem-solving content are emphasized over generic link placement or high-volume low-intent traffic.
People who do not need websites, hosting, servers, backup or cloud storage have little reason to become retained DotMoose customers.
Broad lifestyle traffic should generally perform worse than targeted hosting, web-development and small-business technology content.
DotMoose provides a generous 6-month referral tracking window. Its affiliate links set a referral cookie that can remain active for up to six months.
If the cookie is still present when an eligible new customer places an order, DotMoose states that the referral can be attributed to the affiliate. Once successfully attributed, qualifying services can continue generating the standard 20% recurring commission while the referred service remains eligible and active.
DotMoose states that affiliate links set a referral cookie for up to 6 months.
The long window gives prospects time to research hosting, VPS, storage or managed services before purchasing.
If the referral cookie remains present when an eligible new customer places an order, the referral can be attributed to the affiliate.
Cookie deletion, browser changes or other events that remove the cookie before purchase can interfere with attribution.
Affiliates receive a unique DotMoose referral URL through the WHMCS-powered client area.
Publishers should consistently use the official referral link to establish the 6-month cookie correctly.
DotMoose uses WHMCS to track affiliate visits, referred signups, pending commission, available balances and withdrawals.
The WHMCS affiliate record determines whether a qualifying customer has been credited to the partner.
Once an eligible new customer is properly attributed, qualifying renewals can continue earning 20% recurring commission while the service remains active and eligible.
The 6-month cookie governs pre-purchase attribution, while the recurring commission duration can continue substantially longer after conversion.
The available DotMoose information does not establish whether attribution follows first-click, last-click or another priority rule when multiple affiliates refer the same prospect.
Do not classify the program as first-click or last-click without a DotMoose-specific confirmation.
No cross-device attribution guarantee has been confirmed for the DotMoose affiliate program.
Affiliates should not promise that a referral click on one device will necessarily remain credited when the customer purchases on another.
DotMoose's standard referral program does not require a separate publisher application or paid affiliate membership. A DotMoose customer signs in to the normal client account, opens the Affiliates area, accepts the program terms and activates the referral account.
This should not be confused with DotMoose's separate reseller/agency program, where applications are manually reviewed. Standard affiliates must still comply with DotMoose's traffic, disclosure, anti-spam and brand-protection rules.
Users sign in to their DotMoose client account, open the Affiliates area, accept the program terms and activate their referral account.
There is no separate paid membership required for the standard affiliate program.
DotMoose explicitly supports referral activity through clients, content, newsletters, communities, social media and video.
A standalone affiliate website is not required before testing the program with a legitimate relevant audience.
Self-referrals, duplicate identities, circular purchases and structures primarily created to manufacture affiliate commission do not qualify.
The program cannot be used simply to create a personal 20% discount on the affiliate's own hosting services.
DotMoose allows referral links to be posted publicly where the platform permits it and where the recommendation is relevant.
Affiliates must clearly communicate the commercial relationship and follow applicable platform disclosure requirements.
Email promotion can be used when the communication is lawful, relevant and appropriate.
Purchased, scraped or harvested lists and automated mass unsolicited messaging on DotMoose's behalf are prohibited.
Affiliates may not bid on DotMoose trademarks, impersonate official DotMoose advertising, typosquat or use confusingly similar domains without written approval.
Organic search, educational content, client referrals and creator-led recommendations are safer default acquisition channels.
DotMoose repeatedly instructs affiliates to keep pricing, feature, performance and income claims current and supportable.
Fake earnings screenshots, fabricated results, misleading urgency and inaccurate hosting claims should be avoided.
DotMoose affiliate payouts are available by bank transfer and are processed on a daily payout frequency once the affiliate has eligible withdrawable commission.
The minimum available balance required to request a withdrawal is C$25. New commissions first remain pending for 30 days before becoming available, allowing refunds, cancellations, fraud and invalid referrals to be resolved.
Eligible affiliate withdrawals are processed on a daily payout schedule.
Once commission has cleared validation and the balance threshold, affiliates do not need to wait for a single monthly payout date.
DotMoose affiliate earnings can be withdrawn by bank transfer.
Affiliates should maintain accurate banking information so approved withdrawals can be processed correctly.
The affiliate's available balance must reach at least C$25 before a withdrawal can be requested.
Eligible earnings remain in the affiliate balance until sufficient commission has accumulated.
Each new commission remains pending for 30 days before it becomes part of the available affiliate balance.
The period allows DotMoose to account for refunds, cancellations, fraud and referrals that fail program requirements.
DotMoose identifies WHMCS as the source of truth for affiliate clicks, referrals, pending commission, available balance and withdrawals.
The client-area figures provide the operational record used to determine whether commission is available for withdrawal.
Commission tied to refunds, cancellations, fraud or invalid referrals can fail validation during the 30-day pending period.
Pending commission should not be treated as withdrawable until it moves into the available balance.
Best for: hosting bloggers, WordPress agencies, web designers, freelancers, developer educators, small business website consultants, and affiliates targeting users who need Canadian hosting, shared hosting, VPS, backup storage, object storage, and managed app hosting.
Less ideal for: affiliates needing high-ticket upfront CPA payouts, domain-only referral earnings, software licence commissions, guaranteed earnings, self-referral strategies, or publishers without an audience interested in web hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS, storage, or managed services.
