Commercial terms at a glance
| Commission component | Current published structure |
|---|---|
| Managed WordPress one-time bonus | $50–$500 depending on qualifying plan |
| Managed WordPress recurring | 10% monthly for customer lifetime |
| Payout timing | Once approved commission balance exceeds $50, Kinsta automatically includes it in the next PayPal payment round, normally between the 15th and 20th of each month. Managed WordPress one-time bonuses have a two-month qualification period. |
|---|---|
| Minimum payout | More than $50 in approved commissions for PayPal payout; $500 minimum applies when transferring affiliate earnings to MyKinsta hosting credit. |
| Allowed traffic | Kinsta targets developers, designers, agencies, YouTubers, publishers, learning platforms and technology solution providers with substantive hosting-related content; low-value list sites, unfinished sites, coupon/deal sites and social-only profiles are generally rejected. |
| Paid search / PPC | Kinsta’s detailed promotion rules should be checked before paid search; the reviewed FAQ emphasizes content/site quality rather than publishing a complete PPC keyword table. |
| Geography | Global-facing program for eligible publishers/businesses, subject to legal availability and PayPal support. |
| Recurring duration | Managed WordPress referrals earn 10% monthly recurring commission for the lifetime of the referred customer while the qualifying plan remains active. |
| Approval difficulty | Selective — manual website review; Kinsta says decisions are normally sent within three business days. Existing Kinsta customers are automatically approved. |
| Terms note | Managed WordPress pays a plan-dependent $50–$500 one-time bonus plus 10% lifetime recurring. The affiliate page uses a 60-day last-touch conversion window; add-ons are excluded from the recurring base. |
