Hello guys! As I informed you earlier I am going to launch one hosting related project really soon and would like to add up to 20 companies to earn from affiliates as well. Could you please advise good domainers with honest affiliate program to sell their services? Thanks in advance!

Maybe reseller services? I suppose that with low cost for domain name registration and annual payments affiliate will not be competitive with other affiliate programs. ;)

ok, but if any domain company has such an affiliate program I will be very glad to add their link to my site!

GoDaddy, Yahoo, 123-Reg, Dotster, Netfirms, & Network Solutions have affiliate programs through Commission Junction. Sign up at www.cj.com I have had best results with the GoDaddy links.

Just note that (as another poster alluded to) registrar domains markups tend to be quite low, so there's typically not too much money to put into an affiliate program. Reseller programs seem to be far more common.

Does CJ allow to add direct affiliate to the same site as well or I can have their sites only? Do you know any direct affiliate programs?

If you're a host, you might want to find a domain affiliate program from someone who does not also offer hosting, or you may find your hosting business being sent to them as well.

also, one more thing that i thought of just now when i read your plan...
If you are gonna sign up with lots of hosting affiliate programs, why not actually sign up with a domain reseller program, where you can put your own company name, etc.
The key part here would be that hardly any support is required for domain names, and you would be earning much more than an affiliate program.
also, you will have a ready base of customers, whom you can sell other stuff also later on.
