Would This Be Against Bluehost's Terms of Service?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by BradySEO, Feb 15, 2014.

    For one of my products I'm offering a free WordPress site setup, theme, etc, free domain for one year and free hosting for one year. This is with the purchase of one of my monthly packages.

    Would it be going against any rules that you know of if I signed my clients up for the hosting through my Bluehost affiliate link? That way I'm able to make some money back for offering the free offer.

    I read through their terms and couldn't find anything specific to this, but some points were a little vague.

    Thanks!

    no, its not against their tos, however, the clients must not be fake = open a site, and then abandon the site, you will end up getting your paypal banned { from their affiliate},


    in otherwords, you can offer this service, but dont' think about signing up yourself and trying to get commission, they are good in detecting that sort of things.

    Thanks for your response. No, I'll be signing everything up in the clients name. I'll just be making the payment with my PayPal account.

    you can't do that

    1 paypal - 1 client

    if you can make paypal accounts like that, dont' you think you would have been a millionaire by now?

    msg me though, i might have something good for you .

    Regards

    I'm a little confused. It wouldn't be my account. I would be signing it up in my clients name. I would just be paying for their hosting for a year.

    I just spoke to Bluehost and they recommend reseller hosting. So I think I'll go that route.

    Reselling is a good option for what you are trying to do because of reoccurring payments from your clients. Best of luck!

    If it's not your hosting company, you would present yourself as an affiliate of the hosting company to your site visitors. I'm assuming you want to sell Bluehost? Or another. Can you clarify?
