Hostking Rewards — Programme Terms
Last updated: September 2026
These terms apply to the Hostking Rewards programme and are in addition to our Terms of Service. Taking part is optional. Where these terms conflict with the Terms of Service on a matter specific to this programme, these terms apply.
1. Who Can Take Part
Account credit rewards are for customers with at least one paid Hostking service, who have paid at least one invoice, and who have no overdue invoice at the time of claiming. Free trials, free hosting and domain-only accounts do not qualify for credit rewards.
Share Hostking content rewards are open to any current Hostking customer on any plan. If you are no longer a customer you cannot earn or claim anything under this programme.
You must be 18 or older to receive a cash payment under this programme.
Employees of Hostking, and members of their immediate household, may not claim rewards under this programme.
Rewards belong to one Hostking account and cannot be transferred, combined or moved between accounts.
2. Account Credit
Credit is added to your Hostking account balance and applied against your Hostking invoices.
It cannot be withdrawn, transferred or refunded, and has no cash value.
Credit does not expire while your account remains open. If you close your account voluntarily, or we terminate it for breach of the Terms of Service or the Acceptable Use Policy, any remaining reward credit is forfeited. If we close your account for any other reason, we will apply any remaining reward credit against amounts you owe us before the account is closed. This clause applies to reward credit only and does not affect money you have actually paid us.
Each reward becomes claimable a set period after you qualify, currently seven days. You must claim it yourself. We do not add it automatically.
Each reward can be claimed once per account, except the upgrade reward, which becomes available again every six months.
We may withhold or reverse credit where the thing that qualified you was undone shortly afterwards, or was done only to obtain the reward. This includes where you receive a refund for the service that qualified you, whether under our money-back guarantee or otherwise.
3. Share Hostking — Content Rewards
3.1 How it works
You post publicly about Hostking on your own channels, send us the link, and a person at Hostking opens it and checks it. If we approve it you choose account credit or a cash payment. Approval is at our discretion and we are not obliged to approve anything.
3.2 What we ask of you
By submitting content you confirm that:
- It is your own work, posted from an account you control, and you have the right to submit it.
- You have disclosed in the post itself that Hostking rewarded you for it — using the platform’s own paid-partnership or paid-promotion tool where it has one, or a clearly visible #ad where it does not. The disclosure must be visible without the reader having to expand or click through. A post without it will be declined.
- It is honest. Say what you actually think. We will not ask you to change an opinion.
- It links to the public Hostking website for your country, as shown on the Rewards page, and not to our customer login portal.
- It does not infringe anyone’s rights, break the platform’s own rules, or contain anything unlawful, misleading or defamatory.
- You will leave it up for at least twelve months. If you remove it sooner we may reverse any credit given, or set a cash payment already made against amounts you owe us. We will never ask you to remove or change an honest opinion.
3.3 Ownership and use
You keep ownership of your content. By submitting it you grant Hostking a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to reproduce, share and quote it in our own marketing, including on our websites and social accounts, for as long as we choose. We will not present it as something it is not, or edit it in a way that changes its meaning.
3.4 Limits
Each type of post has a cooling-off period before that type can be submitted again. The Rewards page shows the current period for each.
There is an annual limit per account on total content rewards. The Rewards page shows your remaining allowance.
The same content is not paid for twice.
3.5 If we decline something
We will tell you why. You can correct it and submit the same content again. There is no penalty for a declined submission and it does not count against your limits.
4. Cash Payments
Cash is available only for approved Share Hostking content, never in exchange for account credit.
Approved cash builds up as a balance. You may request payment once it reaches the minimum shown on the Rewards page for your country.
Payments are made within 14 days of your request, by bank transfer, PayPal or Wise.
You are responsible for giving us correct payment details. We are not liable for payments sent to details supplied incorrectly.
Any transfer fees charged by your bank, PayPal or Wise are yours.
You are responsible for declaring this income and for any tax you owe on it. Hostking does not withhold tax and does not issue tax certificates.
Payment does not make you an employee, agent, partner or contractor of Hostking, and creates no ongoing obligation on either side.
5. Your Payment Details
We ask for payment details only in order to make a specific payment. Once a request has been paid or declined we delete those details; the payment reference and our banking records remain, as our accounting obligations require. You enter them again if you request another payment. Our Privacy Policy covers personal information generally, including your rights in respect of it.
6. Abuse
We may decline a claim, withhold a payment, reverse credit already given, or remove an account from the programme where we reasonably believe someone has:
- created accounts or content mainly to extract rewards;
- submitted content they did not create, or content bought from someone else;
- used bots, paid engagement or other artificial activity;
- misrepresented Hostking or their relationship with us; or
- attempted to claim the same reward more than once.
Where we do this we will say why, and you are welcome to put your case to us.
7. This Is a Trial
We are running Hostking Rewards as a trial. We may change the reward amounts, add or remove ways to earn, change the limits, or end the programme entirely, at any time and without notice.
If we end it, anything we have already approved will still be paid or credited, and rewards you have already qualified for but not yet claimed can be claimed for 30 days after we announce the change. Nothing in these terms obliges us to continue the programme.
Changes take effect when published on the Rewards page.
8. General
Our decision on whether content qualifies is final, though we will always give a reason. Nothing in this clause prevents you from exercising any right you have under applicable consumer law.
If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
These terms are governed by the same law, and subject to the same dispute resolution process, as our Terms of Service. Nothing in them limits any right you have under consumer protection or electronic communications legislation in your country that cannot lawfully be limited.
