We've added a Rewards page to every Hostking account, and we'd like you to try it while we work out whether it's any good.
There are two halves to it.
CREDIT FOR THINGS YOU MAY HAVE DONE ALREADY
Saving a card so your invoices pay themselves, turning on two-factor authentication, upgrading a plan, opening an affiliate account. If any of those already apply to you, the credit is sitting there waiting to be claimed and comes straight off your next invoice. Nothing to sign up for.
ACTUAL MONEY FOR POSTING ABOUT US
This is the part we're really testing. Post about Hostking, send us the link, and once a real person has checked it we'll pay you for it. Not a discount — money, and you choose how you take it.
A YouTube tutorial — R400
A TikTok — R100
An Instagram Reel — R75
A blog post on your own site — R50
A Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn post — R50
A "Hosted by Hostking" badge in your site footer — R25
Take it as account credit, or let it build up to R250 and withdraw it to your bank, PayPal or Wise. Payouts go out within 14 days of you asking.
THE HONEST VERSION
We're running this for a few months to see whether anyone actually wants it. If people use it, it stays and probably grows. If nobody does, we'll wind it down quietly — but anything we've already approved still gets paid. So there's something to be said for being early.
A few things worth knowing up front. The credit rewards are for customers on a paid plan. The posting rewards are open to any current customer, whatever you're on — if you're doing the work, we'll pay for it. Every submission is checked by hand before anything is paid, and if we turn something down we'll tell you why so you can fix it and send it again.
And if you put your affiliate link in whatever you post, you also earn 20% of every qualifying plan anyone buys through it, every month they stay. That part isn't a trial — it's how our affiliate programme has always worked.
Log in and it's under Rewards in the menu: https://my.hostking.host/index.php?m=hk_rewards
If you try it, we'd like to hear what you think — open a ticket and it comes to us.
