Editor's verdict

Namecheap pays a commission when a new customer makes their first purchase after clicking your link. It has sold domains, SSL certificates and hosting since 2000, and the brand is well enough known that you rarely have to convince anyone it’s legitimate.

You join through one of two platforms, and the choice affects how you get paid. On Impact, the minimum withdrawal is the equivalent of $10 and payment is by electronic funds transfer or PayPal. On CJ, the minimum is $50 (or 25 in EUR or GBP) and payment is by direct deposit, paper check or Payoneer.

Two things to keep in mind. Commission is for a new customer’s first purchase, so don’t expect income from renewals. And the actual rates sit on a separate commission rates page, so check the figure for the product you plan to promote before you commit.
