About Flywheel

Flywheel is a managed WordPress hosting provider operating its services on powerful Google Cloud servers. It promises to take all the burden of hosting management from you so you can focus on the business. Tools like staging and caching are available in one click. The rest of the services are also managed with just a couple of clicks. No complex knowledge is needed as technical stuff is done in the backend by the provider itself.

Flywheel runs a partner-friendly affiliate program for managed WordPress hosting that’s built for creators, freelancers, and agencies. Affiliates earn a one-time, performance-based bounty per qualified referral, with headline payouts commonly framed as a multiple of the first month’s plan price and capped per referral. The program emphasizes simple onboarding, clear tracking, and timely payouts to make monetization straightforward for WordPress-focused audiences.

Products to Promote as a Flywheel Affiliate

As a Flywheel affiliate, here are the key products you can recommend:

1. Flywheel Hosting Plans

These are the main products you’ll earn commissions from. Each plan is WordPress-optimized and comes with features your audience will actually care about—like free SSL, server-side caching, and daily backups.

Each of these plans is commission-eligible. You get paid 300% of the first month’s payment, up to $500 per referral source.

2. Blueprints and Site Templates

You can also promote Flywheel Blueprints, a feature that allows designers and developers to save their site setups as templates. It’s a huge time-saver and a solid talking point when pitching Flywheel to your audience.

3. Demo Sites for Client Transfers

If you work with clients, you can create demo sites on your Flywheel account and then transfer billing to the client. Once they activate the plan, you earn a commission—even if they never click your referral link. This is especially useful if you’re in a freelance or agency setting.

4. Add-Ons and Features

You may not get direct commission from add-ons, but highlighting them helps increase conversions:

• Free Simple SSL
• Staging environments
• Nightly backups
• Malware cleanup and free site fixes
• Built-in performance optimization
