Customer Reviews
Recommend a company customers stay with.
I have been using Blue Arctic since last century. They are rock solid and I use them for myself and have told many of my friends that they are the hosting company to go with. Highly recommended.
They make sure the sites stay live, load fast, and stay secure. That’s huge for me because performance directly affects user experience. When things run smoothly, my clients are happy. If you want hosting that just works and a team that has your back, Blue Arctic is a great choice.
Amazing hosting solutions, very powerful servers and very reliable, been with them for more than 5 years and very satisfied with their services, thank you.

FAQ
Questions before you join.
Are commissions really recurring?
Yes. Commission is earned on qualifying payments for an eligible referred service, not only on the first invoice. While that service stays active and eligible, its qualifying payments keep earning at the rate that applies to it.
What is the $10 signup bonus?
A $10 bonus credited to your affiliate balance when you join. It counts toward the $50 minimum payout threshold, so you start 20% of the way to your first payout and need $40 more in eligible earnings to request one. It is an affiliate balance credit rather than a cash payment, and $10 on its own is below the payout threshold. One bonus per eligible affiliate.
Which services pay 25%?
Shared Web Hosting and Managed WordPress Hosting.
Which services pay 10%?
VPS, VDS, Servers, Website Care and Pro Services.
How much can I earn?
Up to 25% recurring commission, depending on the service. What that adds up to depends on how many eligible referrals you send, what they buy, and how long they stay.
When can I get paid?
Commissions are subject to a 60-day validation period. Once your available commission balance reaches $50, you can request a payout through your Blue Arctic account.
Why is there a 60-day validation period?
Because a sale is not final on the day it is made. Orders get refunded, cancelled or charged back, and each of those reverses the commission attached to it. Holding commissions for 60 days means what you request a payout on has settled.
Do I need to be a Blue Arctic customer?
No. You don’t need to purchase a Blue Arctic service to become an affiliate. You’ll just need a free Blue Arctic account to access your affiliate dashboard, referral links and commissions.
How are referrals tracked?
When someone visits Blue Arctic through your unique affiliate link and purchases an eligible service, the referral is tracked to your affiliate account.
What happens if a customer cancels or gets a refund?
Commission on a refunded, charged back or reversed payment is reversed too. If a referred service is cancelled, commission stops with it and there are no further payments on that service. Referring yourself, or arranging referrals through your own accounts, is not eligible.
Commission rates depend on the service and apply to qualifying payments on eligible services. Earnings examples are illustrations, not guarantees. Refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, self-referrals and program abuse can reverse commissions and affect eligibility. Commissions are held for a 60-day validation period, and payouts can be requested once your available balance reaches $50. Participation is governed by the Blue Arctic Affiliate Terms.
