Agency or affiliate: which Noiz partner programme fits you?
If you recommend Noiz to the businesses you work with, the affiliate programme is the one to start with. Your client signs up in their own name and deals with Noiz, and you earn 10% of the Legacy or Premium hosting they pay for, for as long as they keep paying. The Agency Programme is for a different kind of partner: an agency that hosts its clients' websites in its own Noiz account, takes on their first-line support, and pays Noiz at a discounted agency rate.
The affiliate programme in short
The affiliate programme is open to anyone with a Noiz client account. There is no approval step.
- What you earn: 10% of the Legacy or Premium hosting fee each referred client actually pays, after discounts and refunds, on every renewal for as long as they pay for it.
- How you refer: your referral link is in the client area under Affiliates. Send it to the client, or put it on your website.
- When it is paid: each commission is held for 60 days, so a refunded payment can be taken back. After that you can ask for a payout once a month, by bank transfer or as credit on your Noiz account.
- Who supports the client: Noiz. The client signs up in their own name, pays Noiz directly and gets support from the people who run the servers.
Domain names, add-ons, servers, quoted work and management services do not earn commission. Neither do your own purchases.
The Affiliate Terms ask two things of you when you promote Noiz: describe our services as we publish them, and never send unsolicited messages. Where the law or the platform you publish on requires it, say that you earn commission on referrals.
Who the affiliate programme suits
- Web designers and developers who build a site and hand it over, and do not want to answer hosting tickets afterwards.
- Marketing and search consultants whose clients ask where to host.
- Bookkeepers, IT consultants and business advisers who are asked for a recommendation.
- Happy clients who tell other businesses about Noiz.
In each case, you recommend once and earn for as long as the client stays. The client owns their account, so nothing needs untangling if your working relationship changes.
The Agency Programme in short
The Agency Programme is for businesses that design, build, market or look after websites for their own clients and host those sites with Noiz in their own account.
- Approval: Noiz approves each agency individually, by ticket.
- How hosting is held: one plan per client site, in your account. You hold the control panel and the client area; your clients do not log in to either.
- What you get: a discount on eligible hosting that starts at 5% from approval and rises to 10%, 15% and 20% as your monthly spend grows, shown as its own line on each invoice.
- What you take on: the Agency Terms set a basic level of care, including answering a client within one business day and passing on our notices within two business days.
How to choose
| If you... | Choose |
|---|---|
| recommend Noiz and want the client to deal with us directly | Affiliate |
| build sites and hand them over | Affiliate |
| want to earn without taking on support or billing | Affiliate |
| already run your clients' IT and want to hold their hosting | Agency |
| want one account and one invoice for all your client sites | Agency |
Most partners are best served by the affiliate programme. It asks nothing of you after the referral, and the client gets support straight from Noiz.
You can use both
An approved agency can also refer clients as an affiliate. You keep the agency discount on what you host yourself and earn commission on clients who sign up and pay Noiz directly. The two programmes are separate, and one does not change the other's pricing.
Whose name the domain is in
In both programmes the client's domain is registered to the client. The domain carries the business's website and email, and the business should always be able to renew it, move it or point it elsewhere without depending on anyone else.
Start referring
Log in to the client area, open Affiliates and copy your referral link. If you run an agency and want to host your clients yourself, open a ticket to ask for approval.
