iPage Hosting Affiliate Program Review – Complete Scam & Fraud

iPage Affiliate program review – iPage Affiliate is a complete scam as per our opinion. Have you ever joined the iPage Hosting Affiliate program? Have you got your affiliate payment by iPage? Please comment on it.

You must want to know why we are saying Ipage Hosting Affiliate Program is a complete scam. Well, our motive for writing this post is the same. We will discuss it here in detail.

Why iPage Hosting Affiliate program is a scam?

iPage says “Become an affiliate and you’ll earn up to $150 per sale!”

This is total bullshit. They never make their promises.

I and my blogger friends have joined the iPage Affiliate program in July 2019. Being a blogger I usually promote Interserver, BlueHost, Siteground, NameCheap and HostGator hosting to my loyal audience whoever wants to create a website from scratch.

If someone like you orders a website designing for their business or Blog then in those cases also we usually provide one the hosting mentioned above based on their budget.

Mostly we recommend Interserver Unlimited Hosting.

So, If you ask me what are all the hosting Affiliate programs I have joined then I will say almost all who provide good services and Good affiliate income.

We have joined the iPage affiliate program through Cj Affiliate thinking that we can earn good affiliate income. As the lowest affiliate income on Ipage is 85$ if you join through CJ affiliate. We were happy to see such a good affiliate commission provider.

We started promoting the iPage products

After joining the iPage affiliate through Commission Junction. I have placed one iPage product ad on my website through which I got two sales in a month period. So, I earned $170.

My friend has also promoted iPage to their digital marketing students and he got 5 sales and earned $425 commission in total.

We were happy 🙂 🙂 that we have made some commissions in the first month itself from iPage.

iPage Affiliate Commission on hold

Almost all Hosting Affiliate programs have a locking period. It is ranged from 30 to 90 days based on the company. As in the case of iPage, it is 45 to 60 days and in the case of Interserver and Bluehost, it is 90 days.

So, our affiliate commissions earned through iPage was on hold for 60 days. In between that period, our status was changed to locked on CJ Dashboard.

In Commission junction transaction report, if the status of the sale is changed to locked it simply means that the commission is eligible for payment now and has passed the locking period. The advertiser has to pay for this. There are no discrepancies in that.

Suddenly, the Status of Sale is changed to Closed

For your information, If a sale status is closed on CJ Affiliate Dashboard then it means the commission is paid properly to the publisher.

What the fuck??? We have not got any payment. Neither me nor my friend. How the sale status is closed without affiliate payment payout?

We started contacting CJ Support and iPage Support

Once we got that the sales are closed without payment. We started contacting Cj Support and iPage affiliate.

Here comes the main problem. Cj generally replies in two working days and iPage chat support is bullshit again. They will just ask you for more information and will promise you to pay for your commissions. But they will not.

When we contacted CJ Support they said that the advertiser is responsible for such things. They have closed your commissions. So, you should contact them for more information.

Here is the screenshot of their reply –

They have clearly mentioned that we have to reach out to the iPage as they have corrected the Affiliate commission outside of correction reason and date.

When I told this to iPage they said can you show us proof of CJ Affiliate where they said you to contact us.

See, the same thing is happening with my friend also.

We both have shown the proof and they said that we are escalating your case. Fucing bastards! They just give you hope nothing else.

They are not going to pay you. never Join such rubbish affiliate programs.

This is what I replied to CJ later –

Conclusion – iPage Affiliate Program Review

If you are thinking to join the iPage affiliate program either from their website or through Cj Affiliate then it’s a big no from our side.

We will never recommend you. Join it at your own risk.

On the internet, there are so many stories published where the publisher has clearly mentioned that the iPage never paid their commission and they cheated.

In our case, it was only $170 and $425. Not a big loss. But there are people whom I now have lost $2000 through iPage affiliate.
