Hostinger Referral Program – How It Works (2026)
New customers save 20% on eligible plans, and the person who referred them earns 20% commission. Here is everything, from eligible products to payout rules.
- 30-day money-back guarantee
- 24/7 support
- Prices checked 9 November 2026
The Hostinger referral program is Hostinger’s own, official way to reward customers who recommend it. Every Hostinger customer gets a personal referral link in hPanel. When someone new buys an eligible plan through that link, they get a discount and the referrer earns a reward. The details below are summarised from Hostinger’s official referral program page.

Get the 20% referral discount
Applied by Hostinger at checkout on eligible plans.
Does the Hostinger referral discount work with sale prices?
Hostinger applies the referral discount at checkout. Sale offers change often, so check the cart total before paying – the amount shown there is what you pay.
Can existing customers use a referral link?
Referral rewards are designed for new customers. If you already have a Hostinger account, the discount may not apply.
Is there a referral code instead of a link?
Hostinger referrals work through a personal link (or an email invite) from hPanel. If we show a code on this page, it is for reference – the link is what applies the referral.
When does the referrer get paid?
After the referred customer has kept the plan for 45+ days. PayPal payouts go out daily once you reach the minimum; wire transfers on the last Thursday of the month.
