August 3, 2004 -- Web.com, a leading Web hosting and services provider, announced today that it has launched an online affiliate marketing program offering lucrative revenue-generating opportunities to affiliates and raising awareness among consumers for cost-effective Web hosting, e-mail and web design services.
Web.com's simple, two-tiered affiliate program compensates participants for referring customers to Web.com. Individuals or companies that participate will be paid $65 for each hosting customer they refer. Affiliates are paid twice per month and there is no minimum threshold for payment. Also, Web.com will award the top performing affiliate each month with a special gift. Affiliates need not be Web.com customers to participate in this program and international affiliates are welcomed.
"Web.com affiliates can earn $65 per referral for customers that register for a $95 yearly hosting plan," said Will Pemble, CEO of Web.com. "We can be aggressive in our commission offering because we create super-loyal customers who renew their hosting subscriptions with us year after year. Every month, we win thousands of new customers because of our attractive, low-cost plans and extensive value-added features. Once they experience the level of service we provide, they stay with Web.com for the long-haul."
Web.com will help its affiliates promote and market their businesses by educating them with information and advice in an affiliate newsletter and other forums. Web.com will handle all of the customer and business issues directly, while supporting its affiliate partners with sales aides and educational material.
Pemble continued, "Web.com can help affiliates simply and efficiently generate increased revenue. It's a win-win-win for us, for our affiliates, and most of all, for our customers. The program is also directly in line with our overall marketing strategy to continuously reach out to resellers and referral partners to grow the business and extend our market reach. Additionally, our new program helps carve out an important growth path for our successful affiliates who can easily advance to become full-fledged Web.com hosting resellers in the future."
