Partner types
Five ways to partner
Each partner type has a distinct relationship, reward structure and level of involvement. Choose the one that matches how you work.
Affiliate
Tracked referral commission for content creators, bloggers and influencers. Low-friction acquisition — share a link, earn on every converted customer.
Referral Partner
One-off or recurring rewards for consultants and business networks who recommend SteboHost to clients and contacts. Flexible reward structure.
Agency Partner
Volume pricing and technical support for agencies managing many client websites. White-label options and a dedicated partner manager.
Reseller
Wholesale hosting under your own brand. You own the customer relationship, set your own pricing and bill directly — we provide the infrastructure.
Technology Partner
API and integration relationships for platforms and SaaS ecosystems. Co-build integrations, share data and create joint go-to-market motions.

Requirements
What we look for in partners
Partnership is a two-way relationship. Here is what we expect — and what you can expect from us.
Active website or audience
Affiliates and referral partners need an active website, blog, social following or professional network where they can share referrals authentically.
Client base for agencies
Agency partners should be managing multiple client websites. There is no minimum client count to apply, but volume pricing tiers scale with active accounts.
Business registration for resellers
Reseller partners must be a registered business with a support capability for their own customers. We provide infrastructure; you provide front-line support.
Technical capacity for technology partners
Technology partners need engineering capacity to build and maintain integrations. We provide API access, documentation and a dedicated engineer for the engagement.
Agreement and compliance
Every partner signs a partner agreement covering commission, branding, data handling and termination. We operate under Kenya's Data Protection Act and expect partners to do the same.
Brand alignment
Partners share our values: honest pricing, transparent limits and customer-first support. We do not partner with businesses that mislead customers or make "unlimited" claims.
