When making personal referrals to A2 Hosting via the affiliate program, Please make sure the referral is a new customer, with a new account for each referral. Also, please refrain from self referrals.

To explain the reasoning behind this policy, I wanted to use a hairdresser with an offline affiliate program as an example. The hairdresser gives customers $10 for each new customer that they refer. Let’s say that one of those customers refers someone that already has seen the hairdresser before. This isn’t helping to build the hairdresser’s clientele list. The hairdresser also doesn’t benefit from paying a $10 referral free each time a customer refers themselves to the hairdresser.

We pride ourselves on paying a 300% commission because of the new business that you, our affiliates refer and are very appreciative of the work that you do. We feel as though paying 300% of the first month’s sales negates the need for a recurring commission.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns or hate mail regarding this policy, I am more then happy to address those with you.
