Quick answer

Yes. Namecheap runs an active affiliate program available through CJ Affiliate, Impact and ShareASale, paying up to 50% commission depending on the product. Domain registrations pay far less than the headline rate. The tracking cookie is valid for 30 days.

Program overview

Namecheap sells domain registration, hosting, email and SSL certificates at budget pricing. Its affiliate program runs simultaneously across several major networks, so the terms you get depend partly on which network you join through.

Does Namecheap really pay 50% commission?
