Earning 50% off with the referral program

Both you and a friend get 50% off one month when they sign up through your link.

How it works

Every Hostd account with an active plan has a personal referral link in Dashboard → Referrals. Share it. When someone:

Signs up through your link, AND
Pays their first invoice,

both of you get 50% off one month added to your Stripe account balance. It applies automatically to your next invoice, no code to enter. The credit is sized to half the monthly price of the smaller plan between the two of you, so whether you pay monthly, quarterly, or annually, the reward is a fixed half-month, never a whole year's subscription.

Up to 5 friends per month

You can earn rewards on up to 5 referrals in any 30-day window. Beyond that, additional referrals still credit your friend, and your half is queued as a pending credit that applies as the older ones age out.

You need an active plan to refer

Referral codes are only issued to accounts with an active server. If you don't have a plan, no code is generated and signups against it won't link, so you can't bank credits to spend later.

If your plan lapses, your code is retired and new signups against it are rejected. Should an already-linked referee pay their first invoice after you've lapsed, your half is held as a pending credit and applies automatically when you re-subscribe (within 90 days).

If your referee refunds within 7 days

The reward is automatically voided, matching our refund guarantee. We claw back any still-unused balance credit from both sides. If you've already consumed the credit on a renewal, we only reverse what's still available, you don't end up owing us anything.

The fine print

One reward per pair. Friend can't pay, refund, and re-sign-up to farm you.
Self-referrals don't count. Same email is blocked, as is referring someone who already referred you.
If they refund within 7 days, the reward is voided.
Pending credits expire after 90 days if they can't be applied.
