If yes then the hosted solution may be more appropriate, as you can run one affiliate program for all your sites, having your own private affiliate network. Selecting a generic name for all your sites, such as maincompany-affiliates.com. Affiliates only need to signup once to advertise all sites, and receive one payout for all sites.

Does your system not meet all the requirements?
Then you can still have an affiliate program for your site. With our hosted solution you select an affiliate domain of your choice, such as yourname-affiliate.com, where your affiliate program will be based.
