Step 1
Share your link
You'll find your personal referral link in the dashboard under “Refer a friend”. Share it with agencies, hosting providers, freelancers or clients who manage their own domains.
Referral program - €15 for every referral, €15 off for your contact
Refer other agencies, hosting providers and developers to the Domain-Reseller-API. When they get started, you earn a commission as wallet credit and your contact gets a discount. No application, just a short review.
How it works
Step 2
Your contact gets started
Your contact signs up for free via the link and orders domains through the API, the panel or WHMCS, Blesta, Paymenter or HostBill. Once they reach €30 in domain spend, the referral is successful.
Step 3
You both benefit
You get €15 commission as wallet credit and your contact gets a €15 discount, with no application and after a short review. The discount appears as a separate line item on their next domain invoices.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Domain-Reseller-API referral program work?
You share your personal referral link. When a new reseller signs up through it and spends €30 on domains, we credit €15 to your wallet and the new customer gets a €15 discount on their next domain invoices. There is nothing to apply for.
How much credit do I get per referral?
You receive €15 in credit for every successfully referred customer, for up to 50 referrals per account. The referred customer also gets a €15 discount.
When are the commission and the discount credited?
As soon as the referred customer has spent and paid €30 on domain registrations, transfers, renewals, restores or owner changes and has confirmed their email address. We briefly review every referral by hand before crediting it, usually within a few business days. Card payments and direct debits only count 60 days after payment, bank transfers immediately, and domain transfers once they are complete. Your commission shows up under Billing as a referral program credit; the new customer's discount is deducted from their following domain invoices. All amounts are gross; with reverse charge, they apply without VAT.
Can I have the credit paid out?
No. The commission is credited to your wallet balance and offset against your next orders. On postpaid accounts, we offset it against the next consolidated invoice that is at least as high and show it on that invoice. Cash payouts are not possible.
Is there an affiliate program with commission for domain resellers?
Instead of a percentage revenue share, we pay a fixed commission per customer and give the new customer a discount. That is easy to follow, with no third-party tracking and no application: after a short review, the commission lands in your wallet. If you resell domains yourself as an agency or hosting provider, you also benefit from reseller prices with no base fee.
Where do I find my referral link?
In the dashboard under “Refer a friend”. There you can also see how many customers you have referred, which referrals are still pending and how much commission you have earned. Instead of using the link, your contact can also enter the referral code when signing up.
Terms of participation
- Any Domain-Reseller-API customer with an active account can take part. The program is aimed exclusively at businesses within the meaning of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code).
- A referral is successful when a new customer signs up via the referral link or with the referral code, confirms their email address and, within 365 days of signing up, spends and pays at least €30 (less refunds) on domain services. Domain transfers count once they are complete; card and direct debit payments count 60 days after receipt of payment, even if that is after the 365 days have passed. We review every referral before crediting it.
- The referrer then receives a referral commission of €15 and the new customer a discount of €15. Commissions are limited to 50 successful referrals per account. All amounts in these terms are gross amounts; for customers whose invoices are issued without VAT under the reverse charge procedure, they apply without VAT.
- The commission is the remuneration for the referral. It is credited to the referrer's wallet balance and offset against domain services, or, for postpaid accounts, against the next consolidated invoice that reaches at least the amount of the commission. It is not paid out, is not transferable and does not bear interest. For referrers based in Germany, it includes any VAT owed by the referrer; the referrer is responsible for reporting it. For referrers based outside Germany, it is a net amount: the referral service is taxable in Germany, and we as the recipient of the service owe the VAT (§ 13b UStG, reverse charge).
- The new customer's discount is deducted as a separate line item from their following invoices for domain services until it is used up. It is not paid out and expires when the account is closed.
- Self-referrals are excluded, as are referrals between accounts of the same business (e.g. same VAT ID, same company name, same bank details or same sign-up IP address). A referral code added after sign-up is not taken into account.
- In case of abuse, such as spam, misleading advertising, bidding on Domain-Reseller-API brand terms in search engine ads or fake accounts, we may refuse or reclaim the commission and the discount; in that case we will correct invoices that have already been issued accordingly.
- We may change or end the program at any time with effect for the future. Referrals that have already succeeded are not affected. Otherwise, our terms and conditions apply.
