    I am wondering if anyone here has ever been paid by them. I know one person who has been waiting a while and someone else who has been waiting around a month.

    They offer a realativly high payout so if anyone here has been paid it would be a great affiliate option.

    I was paid, but it took about three months before I received the commission check. I believe, since they pay $100 on a $9.95 account, they hold the commission for a while to make sure the referral is going to stay with them.

    Thanks for the help. Well it has been around 4 months for the first person and probably a month for the other person. I guess they will just have to wait and see.

    Yep they wait for referral to buy at least 2 months hosting which is kind of logical since they pay you 100$ for 9.95$ sign up ;)

    I just checked and they cleared the pending commissions after 2 months so I guess next month I will be paid. I can now start promoting them again :D

    I'm liking the sounds of this. I may have to start promoting them then.

    You get 100$ in march
    You get 200$ in April.

    Simply explained.
