What is it?
Hostinger is a web hosting provider that bundles affordable hosting with an AI-assisted website builder, domain management and email. It is aimed at beginners and small businesses that want a site live quickly without technical setup.
How you make money
You earn by using Hostinger to host a website, blog or store that generates its own income, and by joining the affiliate program to earn one-time commissions on hosting plans sold to people you refer.
Who is it for?
First-time website owners who want low-cost hosting and a guided builder, small businesses on a budget, and affiliates whose audience is starting their first site.
Income model
As a site owner your income comes from whatever your website earns — ads, products, services or leads. As an affiliate you earn a flat one-time commission per qualifying hosting sale, with no recurring component.
Commission model
Hostinger's affiliate program pays a one-time commission for each new customer who purchases a hosting plan through your link. Rates are competitive for the hosting category but do not recur.
Affiliate opportunity
Hostinger's affiliate program is a strong fit for creators who teach beginners how to start a website or blog. The low entry price converts well with first-time site owners, and payouts are processed on a reliable schedule.
