What happens after the 14-day free trial?

Our free trial requires no credit card. If you decide to subscribe during or after the 14 days, you can choose your plan and get started. Otherwise, your trial will expire automatically without any charges.

Are there limits on how many apps or domains I can host?

No. We never artificially restrict the number of websites, apps, or databases you deploy. You are only limited by your server's hardware capacity (RAM, CPU cores, and NVMe disk).

Is there any vendor lock-in if I cancel?

Absolutely zero lock-in. Your server, your software, your data. If you ever stop using Rubuz, your deployed Podman containers, reverse proxies, and applications continue running on your servers without interruption.

Which cloud providers and Linux distributions are supported?

Rubuz connects over SSH to any standard 64-bit Debian 13 or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS server. Supported providers include DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS EC2, Linode, Vultr, Contabo, Scaleway, or bare metal machines.

Have questions about joining or payouts? Everything you need to know about our partner program.

What is the commission rate and how is it calculated? ↓

You earn a 20% recurring lifetime commission on every payment made by customers you refer. This applies to both monthly and annual subscriptions (Solo at $6/mo or $49/yr, Pro at $12/mo or $99/yr), and continues for as long as the user maintains an active subscription.

How and when do I get paid? ↓

Affiliate tracking and payouts are powered by Creem. Payouts are processed on a regular monthly schedule directly to your designated payment account. You can review your verified balance and payout history at any time inside your Creem dashboard.

How long is the referral cookie tracking window? ↓

Our affiliate program features a 60-day cookie window. If a user clicks your link and signs up for a trial or paid plan within 60 days, the conversion is permanently attributed to you.

Do I need to be a paying Rubuz subscriber to join? ↓

No. The Rubuz Affiliate Program is completely free to join. While we encourage partners to try Rubuz so they can authentically showcase its zero-CLI capabilities to their audience, having an active paid plan is not required.

Are there any promotional rules or restrictions? ↓

We value high-integrity partnerships. You may promote Rubuz across websites, blogs, YouTube, newsletters, social channels, and client recommendations. However, spamming, self-referrals (referring your own accounts), and bidding on branded keywords (e.g. "Rubuz", "Rubuz coupon", "Rubuz promo") in paid search ads are strictly prohibited.

How do I get started? ↓

Simply visit our Creem partner portal and create your affiliate account. You'll receive your unique tracking link immediately.
