Strange !!!

I couldn't find any reseller information on their website. Are there any resellers for HostRocket.com visiting this forum ?

I emailed them and am yet to hear from them. Maybe that's because it is well past working hours.

But what I cannot understand is why a popular hosting company such as HostRocket.com does not mention anything about letting resellers sell for them on their website !!!

What is the logic to this rationale, I wonder !!!

They want to promote and get the affiliate program going.

???!!! But then again, I couldn't see any Affiliate Opportunities on their website either.

They have recently revamped their website with a better and smarter look. Even earlier, their previous content didn't mention anything about reseller or affiliate opportunities.

Wondering whether they just resort to an advertising budget to generate more business. Is this strategy more practical than efficient than offering reseller/affiliate opportunities... just wondering ???!!!

They don't offer a reseller program but they are working on an affiliate one, where they'll pay about $20 bucks per every customer.

It should be ready pretty soon seeing as the all necessary software has been bought.

Hello,

We are a relativly new company, and the reselling aspect was making us grow at a rate that we are not currently comfortable with. We will be getting it going again, but not until we are entirely ready to deal with it. Right now were busy moving offices etc. (BTW if you email us mon-wed the response will be slow due to this). After we get settled in and our affiliate program live, we will work on getting our reseller program going again. Until then please bear with us over the next few days as we wont have our live support up.

Thanks HostRocket.com... for your clarification.

You offer attractive deals for wannabe resellers. I hope you put together an equally attractive package for resellers in the near future. :)

LOL !!! now I "SEE" too !!! :)

HostRocket... what do these AFFILIATE software packages really do ? I mean "core benefits of using such software" ?

When you say AFFILIATE, you mean RESELLER, right ?

Do most webhosting companies invest in such software packages in order to manage their affiliates/resellers.

Hi,

Actually an affiliate program is different. It is basically a pay per lead system. Ours is going to be a 3 tear system where you would get paid cash for leads you send us, along with a a smaller amount of cash of leads other affiliate that sign up under you send us.
