    Thanks to the forum!

    After I saw the thread of a friend in the forum who said "Beware of DOT5 web hosting affiliate - 100% reversed since 2007!!",the url is http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=913293 and my thread: 1500 GBP of mine is gone,the url is http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=925838


    I understand that my sales are 100% reversed and I promoted Ipower web hosting.

    I contacted Ipower web,customer support told me their affiliate manager is on vacation and the problem couldn't be solved until he comes back.But I have waited him for months!Several months ago,I contacted them for their affiliate policy,they answered the same.

    I contacted CJ , CJ told me they don't have power on such kind of things,because the affiliate program belongs to ipowerweb ,and CJ closed my help ticket everytime.

    1500 GBp,must be hundreds of sales,Do you believe that they really are 100% reversed?
    At least,I don't believe.

    I never had such a problem with any other advertisers like this one. They are dishonest to affiliate. Avoid using and promoting them.

    So my money couldn't come back.I feel very sad,they threat me like this.And this is kind of scam!!!

    This is a well known issue with hosting affiliate programs. There is not much you can do as affiliates beside stopping promote them.

    I feel really sorry for you. But probably most shit in this issue is "I contacted CJ , CJ told me they don't have power on such kind of things,because the affiliate program belongs to ipowerweb ,and CJ closed my help ticket everytime.
    "

    If they don't do this, why in the hell they needed ?

    CJ seems to not take these things seriously, as a
    result of all this monkey business I have stopped
    promoting these hosting companies mentioned here.

    You may have made sales but probably none of them renewed for the second month. Most hostings will pay u only if they renew. You cant pay them $10 and get back $100 in commissions. Just an idea, I am not sure. I am promoting hostgator and godaddy and never had a problem yet!

    generally web hosting industry works on wafer thin margin and if a client cancels account in 1-3 months then it's a loss for them. so hard to predict about these affiliate programs.
