Send someone here. Get paid when they stay.
You earn NZ$50 for every customer you send who stays a month, and they get 20% off their first three months. One qualified referral reaches the payout minimum, so your first referral is your first payout.

BalanceNZ$50
Payout at NZ$50A worked example, drawn from the rules below. Every figure in it comes from the programme's own terms.
Every product here earns you the same NZ$50.
Hosting, cloud servers, domain names, mailboxes, the CDN and Orbit all pay the same flat commission for one qualified referral, so you can point each reader at the thing that genuinely suits them. They get 20% off their first 3 months, and the price they sign up at is locked for as long as they keep the plan under clause 7.5 of our Terms.
- Web and WordPress hosting
A site goes up in minutes and stays fast, and every plan carries daily backups, free migration and an SSL certificate.
- Cloud servers
They get a machine of their own with full root access, and they choose from sixteen sizes with the price and the configuration in front of them before they buy.
- Domain names
One search covers every extension we sell, WHOIS privacy is free, and they see next year's renewal price before they pay for this one.
- Business email
They get mailboxes on their own domain on the first day, and the mail they send arrives where they sent it.
- The CDN
Their pages are held at more than a hundred edge locations, so a reader in any country opens them quickly.
- Orbit
They push their code and Orbit deploys it, and every branch gets a live address of its own that they can send straight to a client.
You are paid the same for every customer, however many you send.
The amount is the same whichever plan they buy and it stays the same if they move up or down later, so a referral is worth knowing in advance. It lands on your balance the day the referral qualifies, and your hundredth referral pays exactly what your first one did.
- NZ$50Per qualified referralYou are paid the same amount whichever product they choose.
- NZ$50Minimum payoutOne qualified referral reaches it, so your first referral is your first payout.
- 1xPaid once, per customerYou are paid the same amount however long they stay.
- 20%What they getIt comes off their first 3 months automatically.
Every figure on this page is in New Zealand dollars, because that is what the programme pays out, so NZ$50 is what reaches your account wherever you live.
You can see exactly which placement earned.
Label every code with a campaign and your dashboard counts clicks, signups and qualified referrals against each one on its own, so you know which newsletter, which video and which client brought you the customer who paid.

A drawn example of the dashboard, with every amount in it worked out at the NZ$50 this programme pays for a qualified referral. One code is created for you when you join and you can add more whenever you like.
At 10 qualified referrals a click stays yours for 90 days instead of 30.
Promotion is automatic and runs on qualified referrals alone, so the tier you reach is entirely in your hands. Partner also lets you mint a link with your own name in it, which is the one people actually remember and type.
| Tier | How you get there | A click stays yours for | Per referral | Link with your name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Sign up | 30 days | NZ$50 | At Partner |
| Partner | 10 qualified referrals | 90 days | NZ$50 | Yes |
| Custom | Talk to us | Negotiated | Negotiated | Yes |
Everything that earns you a commission.
The full terms are here on the page rather than on page four of a document, so you can read them once and know exactly what you are paid for.
- Referrals from your own audience
Every signup that reaches us through your own link, from somebody you introduced, earns you the commission.
- Referrals we can verify
Up to 5 signups a day from one internet connection go straight through. Above that a person looks at them first, and your payout follows as soon as they have.
- Customers who stay 30 days
A referral turns into money once the customer has been with us 30 days, and your dashboard shows you the day each one is due to qualify so you always know what is coming.
- Channels you built yourself
Newsletters, videos, posts, courses and client work are exactly what this programme rewards, and they are what earns the commission on a KapsuleHost referral.
- Placements that introduce us
The commission is for bringing somebody new to us, so the placements it rewards are the ones a reader sees while they are still deciding.
- Claims a reader can check
Everything on this site is checkable, so anything you can point a reader at on our own pages is yours to promote.
The parts people ask about.
- How many codes can I have?
- As many as you need. Each one carries its own campaign name, and the dashboard reports clicks, signups and qualified referrals per code, so you can tell a newsletter from a video description.
- Do I need to be a customer?
- Anyone can join. Affiliate accounts are separate from customer accounts, so you can sign up today and start sharing your link straight away.
- When exactly does the clock start?
- At the click. Your link stays credited to you for 30 days on Starter and 90 days on Partner, and if they sign up inside that time the referral is yours.
- What if they upgrade later?
- The commission is flat and paid once, so it is locked in on the day the referral qualifies and stays yours whatever they do with their plan afterwards.
- How do I get paid?
- Connect a payout account in the affiliate dashboard and the monthly run sends every balance at or above the minimum straight to it. Connect one whenever it suits you and every commission you have earned is waiting there.
- How quickly can I start?
- Signing up activates your account on the spot and mints your first code, so you can have a link out within a minute. Your account is live from that moment and every click it earns counts from then on.
Get your link and start earning.
Signing up takes a minute, activates immediately, and gives you a code you can put somewhere today.
