Hosting Rebate Sites - Do They Work?

    Hi,

    I came across a hosting rebate website the other day whereby if I sign up to a hosting package through a popular hosting (say, GoDaddy) from their website, they'd give me $xx back.

    Does this work because they are earning so much in affiliate commission that they can afford to pay you back for buying through them? Is it not against the affiliate TOS agreement?

    Has anyone had any experience with these sites - do they work?

    Thanks, Will :cool:

    Most of those are loss leading strategies for gaining new customers. So you better just make a research for a reliable and honest host and pay normally, rather than make money for someone else and chose and earn bad hosting experience for yourself.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for that. I'd already done the research and decided upon a host and after searching Google for some coupons for it I found a website willing to give me $50 for signing up with that particular host through them. Win-win situation, surely?

    I run http://www.hostingplanrebates.com and I can tell you that we really do pay rebates. It's a pretty simple process. The instructions need to be followed so that we get the commission from the web host and once we receive the commission the rebates go out.

    Yes its working and i already received the money from my affiliate.
    But there something that you must take extra caution,such as only deal with reputable affiliate provider.
    And they will not instantly pay you the money after you sign up,you still need to wait at least 6 month to get the bonus from whoever you sign up under him.

    Rebates do work,It's a pretty simple process.
    1.You make a purchase through The appropriate Link

    2.The Affiliate gets the commission

    3.He shares the commission

    this is a win win situation as the purchaser has absolutely nothing to lose what so ever,As he/she is purchasing From the Hosting company That he/she desires.
