WebHostingPad affiliate program is exposed! We have found this month that we were losing sales in WebHostingPad's affiliate program so we decided to do a webhostingpad review of events concerning the matter on our blog network. We don't feel it would be right to let this issue slide since they are using unethical business practices.
We may very well end up suing WebHostingPad over the matter. We are now out thousands of dollars for suspected unethical and unlawful practices. WebHostingPad has breached our affiliate contract where we are to get paid for active accounts of a certain length.
This month we noticed we were losing sales in the affiliate program. These are called chargebacks/fraud/etc. There is always a loss rate when dealing with the internet due to these issues. These usually run about 5% in the web hosting industry. We caught WebHostingPad reversing approx. 2/3 or 66% of all sales. Only a third of sales were actually going to payment. We started to track sales by domain name in June and since then we've found 4 accounts just in that time that were reversed for unknown reasons, but the websites are still active on WebHostingPad servers and DNS.
I have tried contacting Ben Park - affiliate manager at WebHostingPad. I have emailed multiple times trying to get an explaination. I have also called and left messages for him. Nothing works.
We'll be contacting the Illinois chapter of the BBB, the Illinois Dept of Commerce, and will file a WebHostingPad Ripoffreport. This kind of business should not be allowed to continue.
You can tell a lot about a business and how they will treat their customers from how they treat other contractors they work with. We wouldn't recommend WebHostingPad to have anything to do with your website.
