    Since some mentioned that 000webhost don't pay their affiliates, anyone got an alternative that offer the same(features, no ads, PHP, MySQL, ... )?

    The free host may pay less money but that's okay if they do pay their affiliates.

    I searched but could not find one so far.

    I'm willing to sign under you(affiliate).

    Blue Host, Hostgator, Lunarpages, Webhostingpad etc all paid very well for their affiliates. Why earn a miserable $5 each from 000webhost? Also I really have my doubts, they are a free hosting, where do they find money to pay affiiates? Seemed to be a money losing business right from the beginning.

    wisdomtool: Some people can't afford to pay monthly and I want to give another options to them. I know, it's not perfect but I tell them first.

    $5 vs $0, I will take the $5 any day.

    How they can make from it?
    Simple, if they have a paid hosting service, they can get the person that way first(free hosting) and convert them later on to a monthly package. Of course, the person must be able to pay later. For them, it's a gamble that could pay up.

    If 000webhost owes you money as an affiliate, please join me in filing a formal complaint at www. ftc. gov as well as the Anti Online Fraud unit of the FBI at www. ic3. gov

    Also feel free to contact me, derek at infogringo dot com

    I drive traffic for a living, it is how I pay the bills. When a company hurts the industry that supports me, I stand up and take notice. Please join me in taking 000webhost down.

    I can't believe this part of their affiliate program's terms:

    5. Qualify
    Only referrals that contain a hosting package signup and activation qualify for commissions. Referred individual(s) must have active website for at least 31 days. Active website is website with at least 10 visitors per day. If account that you refer fails to get at leat 10 visitors per day and it is not changed in 14 days, user account is terminated.

    I have 67 sign ups this past week. I'm really disappointed that I wasted my time with this program. I'm glad I found this thread so that I didn't waste even more of my time.

    It is a free host and it provides good features and on top of it, it pays you to get more free users for them? Quite a tough job if I were them. I tried their hosting, it is good, with regards to their affiliates, I would rather not join. It takes a lot of money just to fund the free hosting activities. I would be suspicious if they still offer money for affiliates. Anyone received money from them yet?

    It makes more economic sense to sign up with the big boys who offer quite a decent amount of money for affiliates.
