Invite friends: credit for every friend who becomes a customer

Your personal invite link, what you get when a friend buys a server or tops up, and how it differs from the affiliate program.

Every account has an invite link under Dashboard → Invite friends. When someone registers through it and makes their first purchase (a server or a top-up, any amount), you get 5 € in credit on your balance, automatically and without waiting.

How it works

  1. Copy your link (penguhost.com/invite/ABCD1234) or your code and send it to a friend.
  2. They register through the link (a banner on the registration page shows that the invite was recognised). The link never expires, so they can come back later.
  3. They buy a server or add credit. The moment that first payment goes through, your balance grows and you get an e-mail.

The dashboard shows who you invited (e-mail masked), whether they have bought yet, and the total you earned. Up to 3 friends per account are rewarded (15 € in total).

Rules

  • Only new accounts count; existing customers cannot be "invited".
  • One reward per friend, on their first payment. Later purchases do not pay again.
  • Inviting yourself with a second account is fraud and voids both accounts' credit.

Invite vs. affiliate

The invite reward is a fixed amount for everyone. The affiliate program is for creators and communities who send many customers: a percentage of every sale, for as long as the customer stays, after a short application. You can use both, but a customer counts for one of them, not both.
