WP Engine pays an almost fixed amount on every new customer, so earnings are easy to predict, and its 180-day cookie is one of the longest on LinkApprove. That suits hosting decisions, which buyers often research for weeks before migrating a site.
WP Engine has one of the longest cookie windows on LinkApprove at 180 days, six times the usual 30, and pays within a few cents of the same amount on every sale, the steadiest payout of any hosting program on the network.

Software & creator tools
How WP Engine compares in its category
Software pays differently from retail. Many programs pay a fixed bounty or a share of the first payment on each new signup, so a single referral can be worth more than dozens of shop orders. Buyers compare tools carefully and often start on a free trial, which makes tutorials, honest comparisons and "how I use it" content the formats that convert.
