Hostgator Affiliate Program Does Not Pay Many Commissions

There are posts all over the internet about how Hostgator does not pay affiliates for valid sales. There is a long thread on Warrior forums too with affiliates complaining.

I would share these opinions. Hostgator are a good webhosting company, but their affiliate program is highly questionnable.

We have been an affiliate of Hostgator via CJ for nearly a decade. Time and time we have referred valid customers to Hostgator, who have paid for their accounts, and 100% of the time Hostgator have not paid commission for the sale. God knows how many other customers there are which we have referred to Hostgator for whom we have not earned commission that we are not even aware of.

We have lost hundreds of dollars and would urge everybody to stay well clear of Hostgator's affiliate program. We have removed all our links.

You can surmise from the low EPC for Hostgator versus other webhosts on CJ how Hostgator are wriggling out of paying affiliates significant sums through their ruthless, unethical scrubbing.

In any other field in life, not paid people their hard earned hundreds of dollars would be considered be a theft.
