How much money should I expect to make? 

This is fully dependant on how innovative you are in marketing yourself. Web hosting is one of the most competitive affiliate industries. It's also not one that you can get rich on. It is one that does provide consistent revenue, a feature sometimes lacking in other affiliate programs.

If you have any type of webmaster portal, or website with domain name registration services, you can do very well in this industry. Small affiliates are earning $500 - $1000 a month. Many are obviously earning far more. If you do partake in a web hosting affiliate program it's important to direct your traffic to web hosts that have little to no downtime and are service oriented. We believe that we've located some of those as are featured on this website.

Why do they have affiliate programs?

There's thousands of different webhosts, and affiliate programs are a cost effective method of recruiting new customers.

Are these programs free to join? 

All of the programs listed on this website are free. We never recommend you join an affiliate program if they charge a set-up fee. Programs should be in the business of making money from your sales, not from recruiting you.

How often am I paid? 

This will depend on the program. Most pay on a monthly basis, with some paying every 2 weeks. Occasionally you'll get paid on a quarterly basis. You should review the terms of the affiliate program prior to signing up. 

Are taxes removed from my commissions?

You're an independent contractor therefore it's your duty to report any and all earnings. We cannot provide advise on this. You should seek information from an accountant or tax professional in your jurisdiction.

Do I have to be from the USA?

No, you can sign up for any of these programs from anywhere around the world. Your customers can also be located anywhere in the world, as web hosting is an eproduct.

Do I need to be incorporated? Do I need any other type of business license?

No you don't. You can have the payments made out to your personal name.
