Can I buy hosting through my own affiliate link?

    Hi there, I have a questions for blog flippers or other internet marketers who may have experience in this.

    My host my websites under Justhost, which so far has been been very good for me with good customer service. So I intend to stay with them for a while.

    I have a few websites that I want to try and flip, because I am not spending time on them anymore. I was wondering if I sell one of my sub domains, how I would be able to transfer them to the new owner.

    I heard that I could open a new account through my own affiliate link and signup the new owner. Then I just transfer my sub domain to his new account. That way I will earn commissions every month from the buyer.

    (Of course, I will tell the buyer that before hand and offer him/her a bonus for agreeing to this.)

    Would I be able to signup under my own affiliate link? Do I need to be from a different IP address or clear my cookies or how would I go about this.

    Thanks for the info.

    You cannot sign up under your own affilate link.
    They will ban your whole hosting account due to missed use.

    I suggest you buy a reseller hosting account,so that you can earn more money by selling hosting to your client.

    So, I would just have to get the client to signup under my affiliate link? Would that be okay?

    Yes if your client IP is in different subnetmask

    Of course... it is always a good practice to tell your client to sign up on their own, through your affiliate link rather than you doing it and then transferring the account! :)

    Thanks, I guess I will let the customer sign up then.

    Thanks for the great advice.
