I've been referred to this through one of my job. 000Webhost offers free domain and earn $5 per person signup. Cool isn't it? Payment will be made using paypal. No payment required, the registration is FREE. You only need to verify your account with your phone number.
The only disadvantage is, just like other new program, it is hard for them to earn trust from users (in term of payment) but just like WidgetBucks, I would give this a try. Besides, I earn a domain name for registering :p

Their affiliate program is a scam. I've read a lot of posts from people who have been waiting 2-3 months for payments.
I've met the minimum $100 payout, and am still waiting for my payment. I've opened 2 tickets, one was closed without a reply, and the second is still open.
Really? Wow, that is suprising. I haven't reach the minimum payout so I haven't been able to ask for payout. Hmm... I'll check this further.
What's the catch with their service? What's their revenue source? I've seen sites like this go down way too fast.
LEGIT freebies dude!,
What's the catch? None so far (what's the catch with providing free webhost with their name anyway? It just like freewebs and tripod)
So far, I haven't found a proof that proven that they really really scam (apart from carl j comment that is) Anyone else haven't been paid and has a proof better blog it. If not, 000webhost will be label as not scam.
Have paid out they ?
000webhost.com is a scam!
Had 305 dollars worth of signups. Guess what. Account suspended. They suspend accounts without reason, they don't respond to support questions and certainly don't respond to questions concerning postponed payments.
If you ask a question about their payment postponement (3 months in a row my payments were postponed by 000webhost!!!) and they don't like your question, your account gets suspended.
How convenient ey, that they don't have to pay you then.
For 3 months I was eligible for payments. Each month they had some reason why this months payments were postponed to the next month.
Never got paid, never got answers. Their hosting is free, yes. But their 5 dollar affiliate program is a SCAM!
Please don't use this!
Wow, now the table has turned. Then, it's better to avoid this. I haven't come across someone that's been paid.
So, it's concluded here that 000Webhost is scam.
First of all, I was eligible for $305 dollars of 5 dollar signups. They all had the 60 day active period. Guess what, affiliate account gone. No more $ 305 dollars!
Their support system:
Just pasted it from the control panel:

As you can see, the request is now open for 196 hours! So don't expect support from 000webhost.
In short: 000webhost.com is a scam!
They won't pay you, NEVER!
it seems like the same person (Guru) is complaing about that affiliate program both on Achmadz's blog and here...
Well, even if he does, what he said probably true. So far I haven't read/found proof of payment by 000webhos yet.
Hi,
To respond to a previous comment. I have posted on several blogs that 000webhost 5 dollar affiliate program is a scam, because I don't want other people to fall for their scam.
I put the effort of placing several postings on several blogs because I want them revealed and stopped in their scamming practices. I was thinking the more postings. The more it could be get known they are a scam.
I wonder about people who keep talking that 000webhost is a scam.
When I type 000webhost + scam at google, I found a lot of people is complaining about affiliate scam. But, after a deeper research.. I found that those bad comments only done by several same people. The other only said it's scam without reason.., they only said it's scam because they see a lot of bad comments about 000webhost. For those who got suspended, maybe you say some restricted words(not polite words) to them that make them angry. Even if 000webhost affiliate is scam..guest what... you still get the 100% free hosting. Just give positive thinking, you help them so you can get free hosting forever(besides, they not force you to join their affiliate..., it's your choice).
That's why I make a comment previously about blogging the payment proof. how can anyone believe it if no one has been paid?
And for your second thought about it's ok if it's a scam, I don't think most people agree. Almost all affiliate want to get paid when becoming affiliate (or should I say all of them) No one work to promote and provide link for free.
I read somewhere that a person was not paid by the company. He said when they was going to pay him money he would recieve a message that they need more time then 30 days.
After I made my 20 signups then I got the same message.
Try to sign up and see if it says 30 or 60 days.
This is what they wrote"Announcement: we have started to use 60 days signup verification procedure (we used 30 days signup verification system before). That is because we received lots of fraudulent signups especially from Vietnam and China and we need more time to check everything. So if you have referred user today, it will be credited in 2 months. We need these 2 months to protect us from fraudulent signups. We are sorry if we made any inconveniences for you and let us to know if you have any questions."
you got suspended GURU because you signed up your self alot of times or who gets $305 of signup that easy?
I did not get suspended for signing myself up. They have a system to check for genuine new members.
I got booted because I had too many questions why I did not get paid.
THEIR ANSWER IS TO BOOT YOU! and not pay you.
For those unbelievable unbelievers here... SHow me your paypal payout! I have been waiting for that for 6 months now. Nobody. NOOOOBOOODDDYYYY has ever shown a paypal slip wher ethey got paid by them.
Now let your brain work (especially shuheb) what does that tell you? That their bank is slow??? That all affiliates should keep their mouth shut and wait yet another month??? and another month... untill you go ask 000webhost people... and then.. you wait... wait.. and look at your account... and you suddenly don't have an account anymore....
Heyyyyy how convenient for 000webhost... no account is no payout...
I promise you $1000 for every member you show me that got paid by them (since I now know how they do the trick.. I can easily say that... but... I could be changing the payout policies though ;)
For all those people that think former affiliates just write this to waste their time. Think twice. Why would we write that it is a scam? Perhaps because it is a company telling lies. In short, perhaps because they are a SCAM???
I will write here too , I have 150$ and I am not payed for 2 m yet
so this is scam!
I just sent them 1200 new accounts in the last 30 days. I guess I'll be able to tell you if they are legit or not. Will get back when I get the mula.
If you want information on 000WebHost, search Aurimas Rapalis on google. It seems he has left a trail of infamy and fraud across the internet since the year 2000.
Interestingly he runs a string of web hosting review websites infotechtutors.com, webhosting-reviews.org,
emperors-seed.com, projectbeta.org, printars.com, passhost.info
he also owns a web hosting reseller site: princehost.com that carries some interesting complaints on google.
I will be sending out the dogs on this guy!
1 - They are not paying
2 - upgrade plan for their hosting seems to be an affiliate link masked with tinyurl.
you can use their free hosting as long as it works. but never join their affiliate program or never buy upgrade plan.
Ditto on the upgrade and masked affiliate link. I informed them one evening that my sign up page was going on maintenance. They never answered my ticket but I noticed they redirected my sign up page to 0fees.net which is another of II Hosting Media's free hosting sites. I'm going to keep my affiliate status active and post the records on my site at www.createasite.net. I have over 900 sign ups so far and sure enough when they started to come due they sent me the 60 day notice and all of the ready for payouts changed to an additional 30 days. I have informed them of my concerns and so far I have not been terminated. The only people reporting payments are on 2 of II Hosting Media's web hosting review websites. These are owned by the same people that own 000webhost.
I should correct an error on a previous post. The reseller website owned by II Hosting Media the owners of 000webhost is hostprince.com.
I would appreciate it if anyone who has received a payment from 000webhost would report it at www.createasite.net, so that I can post it.
Same here! had met my 100 dollar mark + annother 50 bucks and they closed my account when i started asking what was going on. I cant login now!!! They wont answer tickets!!!
yeah same here, after the 30 days...they canceled all mai PAID ones and changed the policy to 60 days:)) after 60 days...i reached 21 PAID, the second day they canceled some of my PAID ones and reached 16:O :))) support will not answer anything, it's just a scam guys dont be fooled
O,no! I thought that I finally had something great to promote and now all this. I have a site with them and it all looked so great,but all the comments make me wonder: if the affiliate program is a scam, then how long is the websites going to stay up. And do I really want my site associated with a scam, in whatever small way.
I'm not doing the affiliate program and I don't care if the affiliate program is a scam, as long as I have my website up and running.. Let's just say, the affiliate program is one thing I can repay them.. I don't care if they don't pay me.. I am more than satisfied with their service.. The Free PHP and MySQL host is the greatest..
Oh and yeah, I noticed that their upgrade plan is redirecting you into another site.. Maybe they own the site..
I have more than 200$ in affiliate account for more than 3 months! And am still waiting for my payment :))
Their affiliate program looks like scam.
But their free web hosting service is cool!
so i agree with speedy_extreme1998:
"the affiliate program is one thing I can repay them.. I don't care if they don't pay me.. I am more than satisfied with their service.."
but if you plan to make money only with affiliate programm - it is not very good idea :))))))))))
im a moderator of their forum, lol
If you're a moderator of the forum you have no business posting here. You're part of the scam - if it is a scam. I have a lot of signups for their affiliate program, and soon they'll be due for the 30 days. I assume it'll be extended to 60, but after that I'm going to pay very close attention to what happens. I don't live in the US so I can't contact the FBI, but I will contact my country's equivalent if necessary.
scammmm....
i messaged the amin of the forums, and he said that they domnt control the program, another site does.
also, isnt tehre somehting on spam.com or a site, where you can report them? i say we report that site, everyone reports, then some one might do somehing about it./
Their affiliate program is a scam !!!!!!!!!
$ 305 ready to pay. On 29.July. - Additional 30 days was added. I really worked hard for this site and I needed of this money for my family. I am thinking that I will never see this money. God will punish them!
