Affiliate program

Recommend the VPS manager that people pay for once.

DeployOS turns any VPS your reader already pays for into their own private Heroku — from a native desktop app or straight from Claude Code, over SSH. You earn on every license they buy, and again every month if they join DeployOS+.

  • 15-25% on every one-time license
  • 20% recurring on DeployOS+
  • 30-day attribution
  • Cookie-less — nothing tracked in your reader's browser

What you earn

Commission is set per product, so you're never guessing which plan a reader landed on.

Paid monthly, in USD, via PayPal or bank transfer. Commissions are held 30 days to cover refunds, then released on the 14th and 28th.

Why this converts

The reasons a reader goes from your link to a paid license.

It actually works

236 one-click templates, automatic HTTPS, databases, backups and cron, over plain SSH. No agent installed on the server. The free tier is a real product, not a trial — readers can verify every claim before you recommend it.

There's a genuine free hook

1 VPS, 5 templates, GitHub deploys and a read-only MCP server, free, no card. Your readers can try the whole thing, hit the ceiling, and upgrade on their own — you don't have to convince anyone anything.

It sells to AI devs

A built-in MCP server with 26 tools. Claude Code and Cursor deploy to a VPS natively. That's a large, underserved audience actively looking for exactly this, and very little affiliate competition.

One payment, not a subscription

$79 or $149 once. For your audience that's the pitch — the software stops being a line item. Refunds are low, which means your commissions actually clear.

How it works

1

Apply, get approved

Apply through Lemon Squeezy's Affiliate Hub — it's a short form, and you'll need a PayPal or bank account to receive payouts. Applications are reviewed by a person, so expect a reply within a couple of days.

2

Share your link

You get a unique link and a code. Append it to any URL on this site — or just share the link as-is. We handle the rest, including on our pricing and download pages.

3

Your reader buys

The referral is recorded and attributed for 30 days. Any purchase counts, not just the plan you linked, so a reader who clicks Solo and buys Pro still pays you.

4

You get paid monthly

30 days after the sale the commission clears, and Lemon Squeezy pays it out on the 14th and 28th of each month. Clicks, referrals, and every payout are itemised in your own dashboard.

Questions

How much do I earn?

15% of every Solo license ($79), 20% of every Pro license ($149), 25% of a Deployment Review ($29), and 20% of a DeployOS+ membership — including every renewal, so that one pays you monthly.

When do I get paid?

Lemon Squeezy holds each commission for 30 days to cover refunds, then pays out automatically on the 14th and 28th of every month, straight to your PayPal or bank account. Payouts are USD and they handle the platform side — you receive the commission minus a 2% processing fee.

How long does a referral last?

30 days from the click. The identifier is stored by Lemon Squeezy rather than in your reader's cookies, so it works for readers who block cookies and doesn't put a tracking cookie on anyone. If someone clicks two different affiliates, the last one to be seen gets the sale.

Do I need my own discount codes?

No. The link does the tracking on its own — appending ?aff=YOURCODE is enough, and the script on our site handles that for you automatically.

What can I promote?

Anything on the site. A referral is credited for any purchase, not just the specific plan you linked, so a reader who clicks your Solo link and upgrades to Pro still counts for you.

What happens if a buyer refunds?

The commission is reversed, same as any other refund. That's the entire reason for the 30-day hold.

Get the free tier. Then write about it.

The strongest affiliate posts for this product are hands-on walkthroughs — connect a VPS, deploy something real, run the MCP server. Do that first and you'll never have to guess at a claim.
