Earn by recommending hosting built for academic publishing
If you already recommend Paideia Hosting to journals, publishers, libraries, or research groups, this program lets that recommendation work for both sides: your referral saves 5% on their first payment, and you earn a 5% commission on the plan's full list price.

How It Works
Three steps, all of them handled by email with our team
Write to us
Send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] telling us how you plan to recommend Paideia Hosting — your journal network, your institution, your colleagues.
Get your personal code
We create a discount code that belongs to you and share it with you by email, along with anything you need to explain our services accurately.
Share it and earn
Everyone who buys with your code gets 5% off their first payment, and you receive a 5% commission calculated on the plan's list price — the discount they get does not come out of what you earn.
Your code works the same way for a single journal or for an institution hosting several platforms.
Request your affiliate codeWhy Recommend Paideia Hosting
A recommendation only pays off if the service holds up. Ours is built for the institutions you already work with.
A name your network already trusts
You are not recommending generic hosting. Paideia Hosting works exclusively with academic institutions, and that focus is what makes the recommendation land with an editorial committee or a library director.
Infrastructure built for the platforms they use
OJS, OMP, DSpace, AtoM, Dataverse and institutional VPS, tuned by people who run these systems every day. Your referral gets an environment that fits their workflow instead of one they have to fight.
Your reputation stays intact
The people you refer are colleagues, not leads. We treat them as such: clear pricing, migrations handled by our team, and no surprises after the first invoice.
Support that speaks your field
Editors and journal managers talk to specialists in scholarly publishing, in Spanish and English, without having to explain what a DOI or a peer-review workflow is.
What a Referral Is Worth
Every hosting service listed on our pricing page is part of the program: OJS, OMP, repository hosting for Dataverse and DSpace, AtoM, VPS for institutions and custom solutions.

Figures based on the annual list prices published on our pricing page, which is always the reference. Monthly plans pay commission on one month's list price. Custom solutions are quoted individually and the same 5% applies.
Program Terms
Everything the program includes, and everything it does not — stated plainly
Commission
5% of the list price of the plan the referred customer signs up for, monthly or annual. It is calculated on the published price, not on the discounted amount charged, and it is a one-time commission — it does not repeat on renewals.
Discount for your referral
5% off their first payment, applied automatically when they enter your code at checkout. It is deducted from their invoice, never from your commission.
Sign-up through our team
You write to us, we register you as an affiliate in our system and issue your code. From then on, every purchase made with it is recorded against your account.
No website required
You do not need a site of your own. A channel to share the code is enough — email, social media, a newsletter, or word of mouth among colleagues.
No minimum sales
There is no sales threshold to join and no quota to keep. One referral is a valid referral.
Paid in US dollars
Commissions are settled in USD, so you need to be able to receive international payments through PayPal, Stripe, or an international bank transfer.
