It is a form of marketing where a business (Merchant) rewards an affiliate for each customer referred to them as a result of the individual affiliates marketing efforts.

Generally, a website owner who promotes a Merchant’s (e.g. www.magichosting.co.uk) products or services (e.g. domain names, web hosting, etc) in return for a commission payment once a sale has been generated. Examples include discount voucher sites or price comparisons sites, etc.

An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where an affiliate (you) earn commissions by referring customers to a Merchants website (e.g. www.magichosting.co.uk).

Our affiliate program is a way for you to earn money by referring customers to us.

Every affiliate is given a unique Affiliate Tracking link at signup. You can put this link on your web site, email footers, forums - or anywhere you think it might attract someone to click it. Once somebody clicks your link a cookie is placed on their browser, and if they place an order your commission will be recorded against your account.

Your referrals are automatically added to your affiliate account.

Referrals are qualified and commission added to your account once the referral has been a customer of Magic Hosting for a minimum of 30 days.

You can collect your commission balance at any time by clicking 'Request Withdrawal'. We'll despatch your commission to you within 7 working days of your request.

Yes! Providing that the cookie is still on their system, and they don't remove it or clear their cookies, you'll continue to earn your commission on any future orders they place. Our cookie will stay in place for 90 days before expiring.

If your referral signs up with a coupon code or discounted price, you'll receive the percentage share of the discounted price.

When a customer cancels their order we void the sale on our system. This results in your commission for that particular sale being voided too. Fortunately, this rarely happens.

You will not earn commission on the following products/services:

• Web design services
• Domain registration
• SSL certificates
