    Hi,

    Don't know if this is the right place to put down this topic, but if it's not I guess it will be moved to the proper one.

    I have been with site5 for my hosting for a few years now. Recently I discovered their affiliate pay-outs and I've taken a look into their reseller options. It looks good. I'd say almost to good to be true. But Site5 is a major player, so I figure it must be true :p

    This is a page with info about the affiliate stuff. It basically comes down to this:
    - you refer someone via an affiliate link (text link or provided banners)
    - person gets any hosting plan
    - after 60days (the cash-back period) he's still with site5
    - you get a whopping 85 USD! If you refer over 20 people in one month each person is worth 100 USD! (Payout to PayPal)

    To do this, you don't even have to do hosting at site5. Just doing the affiliate thing is also OK. In your account you can see all statistics and get info. Like amount of people that clicked your links, lines of code for banners in all sizes to place on websites, amount of pending referrals and the referrals that got you cold hard cash.

    So, this all looks and sounds pretty nice to me. Like a week a go I thought: "Well why not give it a shot, I'll just place it in my signature at DP and see what happens". Not much happened since :p

    I tried the search, to see if other people offered site5 via an affiliate links aswell, but could't find anything.
    Didn't try for hours or so, so could have missed something :D
    But are there any people with experience for this thing?

    'Cause 85$ (with potentially that being 100$) is a rather good pay-out in my opinion, or am I wrong? I haven't used a link with my referrer code in it, in this piece of text. But if you want hosting over there you can always use the link in my signature in case you wouldn't mind making me happy :cool:
