Business referrals are usually worth more and stay longer.
WHY
A business buying hosting for its website has a genuine need, a budget, and a reason to stay. An individual experimenting with a project may cancel within months.
Business orders tend to be on larger plans and longer billing cycles, and they refund less often, which means more of your commission clears.
WHERE BUSINESS REFERRALS COME FROM
Your own client work as a designer or developer Local business networks and associations Content aimed at small business owners rather than hobbyists
Professional contacts: accountants, consultants, marketing agencies
HOW TO APPROACH IT
Recommend hosting as part of solving their actual problem, which is usually getting a website that works and someone to call when it does not.
Businesses care about reliability and support far more than about specifications. Frame the recommendation accordingly.
WHAT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
Recommending shared hosting for something that genuinely needs more. A referral that struggles reflects on you, and an unhappy customer cancels, which reverses your commission anyway.
