Affiliates: DreamHost Rewards
“Sub-Referrals” are defined as tier-2 referrals. Tier-3 referrals do not earn a credit.
Recurring Payments will be applied to customer’s account every time a payment is made by both referrals and sub-referrals.
One-time Payments will be applied to customer’s account the first time a referred (or sub-referred) customer makes payment for any full hosting plan (including dedicated servers).
Please only post your link in conjunction with your regular postings, as per our strict anti-spam rules. Please post responsibly.
Do not bid or otherwise purchase, either directly or indirectly, the search name “DreamHost” or any misspelling or variant thereof from websites, search engines or other directory referral services.
Violations of our anti-spam policy or our Terms of Service will result in immediate forfeiture of all Rewards payments.
Gaining referrals through misrepresentation, improper use of DreamHost intellectual property (ie. DreamHost trademarks and copyrighted material) or impersonation of DreamHost personnel is strictly prohibited and can result in loss of accrued Rewards and/or removal from the program.
Payments are made on the first business day of the month, via PayPal, for balances of $20 or more.
If you have any hosting accounts with DreamHost, Rewards payments will first be applied to any balance due on those accounts before being paid out via Paypal.
New accounts must use a different payment method from the referrer to qualify for rewards credit for the referrer. Customers also cannot refer themselves or their spouse/civil union partner. No exceptions will be made.
Promotional codes must be unique across our entire system. Promo codes only work for totally new customers (not for existing customers adding more services or new customers trying to host domains that are already in our system).
Promotional code discounts are non-recurring and are only applied toward an account’s first payment.
If a referral cancels and gets their payment refunded, any Rewards payments you earned from that payment will also be cancelled.
Accounts with less than five referrals older than 97 days are subject to a 97 day hold period and 5% fee on PayPal payments.
We call accounts with five or more referrals older than 97 days “Platinum Affiliates”. That’s because platinum is awesome and implies high-classiness. And that’s the kind of customer we host. Oh yes.
“Platinum Affiliates” can also opt to have their payments made via check instead of PayPal.
Customers signing up with a promo code waive their right to decide who gets any referral credit for their account.
We reserve the right to terminate our Rewards program at our discretion.
