C I Host Revamps Affiliate Program, Increases Base Bounties |
 |
FORT WORTH, TX (May 4, 2004) - C I Host, a global leader in Web hosting and Internet infrastructure, has made its reseller program even stronger by increasing the amount it pays its resellers and the discount given to new
customers who come through a reseller.
C I Host's reseller program, already one of the most robust, profitable and transparent in the industry, allows anyone with a Web site to sign up for free and start making money by referring clients within 24 hours.
Under the new fee schedule, resellers receive $35 a month for each shared hosting client and the new customers receive an immediate $15 reduction on
their set-up charge.
"It really pays to become a C I Host affiliate," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "We help our affiliates make money and they bring us new
customers. It is a win-win situation that grows stronger every day."
C I Host's dedicated and colocation bounties have been increased to $100. In addition, each new reseller will receive the monthly $100 bounty for these services as well as a $25 reduction for their initial set up charge.
C I Host, now with 2,000 affiliates in 160 countries around the world, rolled out a completely automated affiliate program in June, 2002, that
requires only a mouse click from a new client on an affiliate's Web site to begin a cascade of electronic functions that puts money in a reseller's
pocket within minutes.
The affiliate places a banner, button of text link on their web site. When a visitor clicks on the ad, that user is sent straight to www.cihost.com and C
I Host's proprietary Affiliate system sticks an "Affiliate Spider" onto that user.
"The Affiliate Spider attaches a cookie to the user's session that has all of the Affiliate's contact information and domain name encrypted," Faulkner
explained. "When they place an order, OrderMonster takes the cookie and makes a copy of the order placed, attaches the cookie to it and files it in the Affiliate System on our servers."
At the same time that the affiliate is collecting bounties from referring customers, C I Host saves money because the commission paid to its
affiliates is far lower than what the company would pay for online advertising -- and much more effective.
"The beauty of the program is that while our affiliates are sleeping all
over the world, visitors are coming to their sites, seeing our ads and
clicking through to become clients," Faulkner said. "We are gaining new
clients and, at the same time, our affiliates are making money and boosting
local economies from Chicago to London to Japan."
