How the Programme Works: The Basics


The Whogohost Affiliate Programme is one of the most accessible ways to monetize your network. Because every business needs a website, the market for web hosting is vast. This guide breaks down exactly how the programme works, how much you can earn, and how to tailor your strategy based on who you are.

At its core, the Whogohost affiliate model is a performance-based partnership. You recommend our products, and when someone buys, you get paid. It is completely free to join.

The Financial Breakdown:

  • Commission Rate: You earn up to 15% on every successful sale.
  • Cookie Life: We use a 30-day tracking cookie. If a user clicks your link but waits three weeks to buy, you still get the commission.
  • Payout Currency: Earnings are paid in Naira (NGN).

Understanding Payouts and Schedules


One of the most common questions we receive is: “How do I actually get the cash?” We have designed our system to be transparent and local-friendly.

1. The Minimum Threshold

You do not need to wait until you have earned millions to withdraw. Our minimum payout threshold is just ₦3,000.00. This ensures that even beginners can access their first paycheck quickly.

2. The 30-Day Maturity Period

Commissions are approved for withdrawal 30 days after the referral makes a purchase. This waiting period is standard practice to account for any potential product refunds. Once this period clears, the money is yours.

3. Withdrawal Options

Once your balance hits ₦3,000, you can request a withdrawal directly from your Affiliate Dashboard.

  • Bank Transfer: Funds are sent directly to your verified Nigerian bank account.
