[Marketing] Affiliate hosting - info from WebCentral

[Isaac Forman]

Received this from WebCentral.

Looks like we would have to be a billing go between though, and thus could
potentially get caught with shitty payers. :|

As I've said, I have 1 client paying $1000/yr with these guys, and another
one to come (we host everyone else at a cheaper place).

Service-wise, they are absolutely superb.

They're offering 10% commission on a sliding scale up from that.

Hello Isaac
Thank you for your email.
Our Partner Program would be most suitable for your needs. In response to
your query, yes existing account holders can transfer to your Partner
Control.


> Partner Program
>
> The Partner Program from Web Central is about supporting our partners who
> support Web Central.
> It was essentially set up for web developers but anyone can join. The
> Partner Program has it's own home page.
>
> http://www.partner.webcentral.com.au
>
> The only requirement is to have one full paying site with Web Central,
> then you can apply. There is no fee.
> Of course, Web Central reserves the right to accept partners
>
> If you become a partner then all the accounts you sign up are your
> customers and
> Web Central bills you and you need to bill them. You pocket the difference
> between what
> Web Central charges you and what you charge your customer.
> As an example, Domain parking is normally $120 per year but is free to
> Partners.
>
> The idea is that as the developer, if your customer wants to update the
> site you are foremost in their minds.
>
> You can apply for the Partner Program at the above listed URL. Turnaround
> is usually 24 hours.
>
> Once you have submitted your join online form and you have been accepted
> as a WebCentral partner, you will receive a Partner ID and other important
> information. You can then register all of your sites under this Partner ID
> via your own Partner Control page to take advantage of the above benefits.
> You will be listed as the billing partner and contact for any sites you
> register under your partner ID and once you have two approved web sites
> with WebCentral listed under your Partner ID you will also be
> automatically added to the "Find a Web Developer" referral list.
