Earning 50% off with the referral program
Both you and a friend get 50% off one month when they sign up through your link.
How it works
Every Hostd account has a personal referral link in Dashboard → Referrals. Share it. When someone:
- Signs up through your link, AND
- Pays their first invoice,
both of you get 50% off one month added to your Stripe account balance. It applies automatically to your next invoice, no code to enter. The credit is sized to half the monthly price of the smaller plan between the two of you, so whether you pay monthly, quarterly, or annually, the reward is a fixed half-month, never a whole year's subscription.
Up to 5 friends per month
You can earn rewards on up to 5 referrals in any 30-day window. Beyond that, additional referrals still credit your friend, and your half is queued as a pending credit that applies as the older ones age out.
If you don't have a plan yet
You can still refer people without a paid subscription yourself, streamers and content creators often do. Each referral earns you a pending credit. When you create your first server, pending credits apply automatically up to the cap.
If your referee refunds within 7 days
The reward is automatically voided, matching our refund guarantee. We claw back any still-unused balance credit from both sides. If you've already consumed the credit on a renewal, we only reverse what's still available, you don't end up owing us anything.
The fine print
- One reward per pair. Friend can't pay, refund, and re-sign-up to farm you.
- Self-referrals don't count. Same email (including Gmail dot/plus variants) is blocked, as is referring someone who already referred you.
- If they refund within 7 days, the reward is voided.
- Pending credits expire after 90 days if they can't be applied.
