Commission Structure Explained

Cloudways Affiliate Program pays $50-$125 per sale (slabs) or Hybrid CPA + recurring monthly commissions (CPA (slab) or Hybrid). CPA (Cost Per Action) commissions provide predictable, per-conversion earnings. Unlike revenue share models that vary with customer spending, CPA rates are fixed — making it easier to calculate ROI and forecast income from your traffic.

Cookie Duration & Attribution

The 90 days cookie window is competitive — most affiliate programs offer 30 days or less. A longer attribution window gives your audience more time to complete the conversion after clicking your link, which is especially valuable for high-consideration purchases where users research across multiple sessions.

Payment Threshold & Schedule

The minimum payout threshold is $250. This is on the higher end. Lower-volume affiliates may experience longer gaps between payouts.
