How much do I get paid in commissions?
NowReg.com pays Co-Branded affiliates a flat 10% commission for each domain name successfully referred to, and registered through, NowReg.com.

Transparent affiliates set their own resale prices for domain name registrations. The cost of registration to a transparent affiliate is $14.95 per domain. We bill your client the resale price you choose. We pay you this resale price (less a 5% credit processing fee) minus your cost of $14.95.  For example, if your resale price is $29.95, we bill all your clients $29.95 (charges appear on their statement as "Domain Registration"). The 5% processing fee on $29.95 is $1.50- making your total $28.45 minus your cost of $14.95. Thus, you would receive $13.50 for every domain you register through NowReg.com!

How often do commissions get paid?
NowReg.com pays commissions on a monthly basis by check in US dollars. NowReg.com sends out commission checks by the 25th of the month for payment of affiliate commissions from the previous month. You must have more than $50.00 accumulated in your account in order for a check to be cut. Any amount in your account less than $50.00 is rolled over to the next month. For example, if you register domains in October, and you have accumulated more than $50.00 in commissions, your check will be cut on or around November 25th.

How do I track my commissions?
NowReg.com affiliates track their domain name registration activity, including commissions, via a secure login URL. Click the "Affiliate Log-in" link on the left-hand menu bar. Input your user name and password, and you will be able to see how many domains you have registered which you have not yet received commission payment on.

Do I have to have Domain Name Servers (DNS) to become an affiliate?
No! NowReg.com does not require local name servers in order to join our Co-Branded affiliate program. All domain names registered will be parked on the NowReg.com name servers.

If you are a Transparent affiliate, you must have your own name servers for NowReg.com to remain anonymous. If you do not have your own Domain Name Servers (DNS) You may still participate in the Transparent affiliate program, if you wish, but be aware that your clients may then know of NowReg.com's presence as your registrar.
