UK2Group is the umbrella company and brand for a set of leading global web hosting brands. The UK2Group family includes Midphase, Westhost, and AN Hosting. We pride ourselves on delivering top quality hosting with unmatched customer service through each of our brands. The marketing for each brand does focus on a different customer segment:
The overall principle of the affiliate program is about driving sales. In essence you and your website become "sales people" for UK2Group and our brand family, and you will get paid a commission for every customer that you drive to one of our hosting companies and who makes a purchase. We've partnered with Commission Junction to help facilitate this. Once you join either the Westhost, Midphase or AN Hosting Affiliate Program, you will have access to banners and links that you can put on your website. If customers click on those links, they will get directed to the corresponding company site, and if they make a purchase, you will receive a commission for that purchase.
The great thing about promoting web hosting, is that there are a huge range of customers and niche sectors to target. Consider:
CJ is a 3rd party independent tracking system that we use to make sure you get credit for the sales from your referral visitors. CJ is the leading and most widely used affiliate tracking network in the United States, that also maintains a large global presence.
All sites are welcome, as long as it doesn't promote illegal activities or pornography. There are no traffic minimums, so why not give it a try? We encourage anyone to sign up, be it someone just starting out in affiliate marketing, or the professional "super" affiliate.
All of our payments are handled through CJ.
Commission Junction aggregates each publisher's total commissions earned each month from all advertisers that publisher partners within the CJ Marketplace, and if this amount exceeds the minimum payout, Commission Junction sends a paycheck (or direct deposit) in the publisher's designated currency. For this reason, each advertiser is required to keep a minimum balance in its Commission Junction account so that publishers can be paid by Commission Junction. When Commission Junction issues a check to a publisher, it is for the previous month's transactions. Until a publisher's account balance reaches the minimum payout, Commission Junction rolls over the previous month's earnings into the following month. This means that after a withdrawal is made to process a check, the money that has been earned during the current month will remain in the account. Publishers may choose to receive their payments through a check in the mail or, if they are a resident of the U.S. or Canada, through direct deposit to a designated bank account. There is no charge for this service. At this time, direct deposit is only available to U.S., U.K., German, French, Swedish and Canadian publishers.
