What is an Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program is a marketing program where you can receive commission for helping a parent company (such as HostGator) generate sales. The parent company provides you with all your advertising tools such as banner ads, links and tracking codes for you to place on your sites, in your emails or other internet listings. When a visitor to your site or listing clicks on an ad or link, the transaction is tracked. If this transaction results in a sale for the parent company, you get paid for that sale. It's that simple!

Please email affiliates@hostgator.com for affiliate program questions and support.

Hello. Can I promote other products from other sites from the domain that HostGator creates for me? I understand I won't get any commission from Hostgator.

Yes, you can advertise other products and services. You can even sign up with other affiliate programs.

I have recently been employed as a Website developer and designer. I have been telling all my customers to use HostGator services for their hosting needs.

I am going to sign up for the affiliate serves plan, because instead of me telling all my customers to go to hostgator.com, I will tell them to "click the banner on my site" to get their hosting, this way I can get money with the affilliate services.
