Partner Program
The most generous partner program in game hosting.
20% of every payment, for the lifetime of every customer you send us — 30% and a free community server if you create or build. Paid out monthly, automatically.
Recurring · lifetime · never retroactively cut
Why partner with us
We run near-zero fixed cost on hardware we already own. That margin goes to the people who bring us customers, instead of to a holding company.
Recurring, for their lifetime
Not 12 months. Not a one-time bounty. You earn on every payment your referral makes, for as long as they keep paying. Most hosts offer 5% once and forget you exist.
Paid monthly, automatically
Stripe Connect handles onboarding, KYC and tax forms once. After that, payouts run in a monthly batch with a $25 minimum — not a 60-day wait behind a high threshold.
A free server for your community
Creators and developers get real hardware, free, sized to their audience — their SMP, their dev box, their test server. It is a perk on top of your rate, not a substitute for it.
An indie host, not a roll-up
One founder who builds in public and answers you directly, instead of a private-equity portfolio company. And rate changes are never retroactive — you keep the rate you signed at.

| Payout speed | 30–60 day terms, high minimums | Monthly, $25 min, automated |
| Free community server | No | Yes — sized to your audience |
| Your audience's discount | Small, or none | 20–25% off, or $0.99 first month |
| Dev / modder program | None | 30% / 20% recurring + free servers + one-click installers + first-touch attribution |
| Support | The shared ticket queue | Priority + a direct contact |
| Ownership | PE roll-up, faceless | Indie founder, builds in public |

The tiers
Find the one that fits you.
Everyone starts at 20% for life. Creators and developers earn the same top rate — we do not treat the people who build the mods as a lesser channel than the people who film them.

How payouts work
No games with your money.
The unglamorous part, stated plainly — because you are going to want to know it before you put our link in front of your audience.
Stripe Connect, once
You onboard through Stripe Express — they handle your KYC and tax forms. Payouts arrive as Stripe transfers. No PayPal, no invoicing us.
30-day maturation
A commission is pending for 30 days after the invoice is paid. If that customer refunds or charges back inside the window, it voids. This is fraud protection, and it cuts both ways: it is the reason we can afford to pay 20% for a customer's entire lifetime instead of a token bounty.
$25 minimum, monthly
Balances over $25 go out in a monthly batch. Below that, it rolls over — nothing expires.
Your own dashboard
Clicks, signups, referred orders, conversions, pending and available balance, and every past payout — live, in your account area.
Frequently asked
How do I get paid?
Through Stripe Connect Express. You onboard once — Stripe collects your details, verifies you and handles the tax paperwork — and after that payouts are automatic Stripe transfers to your bank.
Payouts run monthly with a $25 minimum. If your balance is under $25 it simply rolls into the next month. Nothing expires.
Do commissions really last for the customer's lifetime?
Yes. Not 12 months, not 24 — for as long as that customer keeps paying us, you keep earning on every invoice they pay. If someone you referred in year one is still hosting with us in year four, you are still being paid for them.
And rate changes are never retroactive. Whatever rate you sign at is the rate you keep, even if we lower the program rates for new partners later.
What counts as a referral, and how does attribution work?
Two things count, and both work the same way: someone clicking your ?ref= link (which sets a 60-day cookie), or someone typing your vanity code as a coupon at checkout. Either one attributes that customer to you.
Attribution is single, first-touch and locked. Credit is set once, at signup, based on what actually caused that person to sign up — and then that customer belongs to you for life. It is never split between partners and never reassigned later.
For developers specifically: installing more mods later never moves or splits credit. A customer who installs a 100-mod pack does not generate 100 attributions — attribution was already set at signup and stays put. A modpack's referral belongs to the pack author, not to the individual mods bundled inside it.
Can I be a partner if I'm small?
Yes. The Affiliate tier has no audience minimum — 20% recurring for life is the floor of this program, not a reward for hitting a follower count.
The Creator tier and its free community server are where we do check: we verify a real, engaged audience before granting free hardware, because view counts can be bought. That check is quick, and it is about whether the audience is real, not whether it is big.
How do modpack and mod devs earn?
At the full Creator rate — 30% recurring for 12 months, then 20% for life — stacked on top of free dev servers rather than traded against them. Every other tier picks the perks or the top rate; developers get both.
The reason is simple: someone installing your modpack needs a server that same hour. It is the highest-intent traffic we can get, so we pay it like the premium channel it is. We build the one-click installer for your pack, feature it as a co-branded store preset, and the customers it acquires are attributed to you for life.
Every host offers you 5% and forgets you exist.
We will pay you 20% for as long as your referrals keep hosting — 30% and a free server if you create or build — every month, automatically.
