We are a company in which we have developed new technology that allows us to have key relationships with sites that are top ranked in major search engines.
We are currently seeking a web host company that we can resell for. Once we have found the right web site company we will quickly finalize our placement. Based on good estimates, we are predicting that the web hosting company we will work with see a minimum of $7,000 of new sales per month from us.
We are looking for a complete turn key operation. All aspects should be handled by the web hosting company from first recieving a referred lead to the final sale to constant maintenance. This means they must efficiently be able to handle initial sales from shopping cart or by phone, process credit cards, handle all tech support (including live phone support), billing, renewels etc.
We will expect accurate accounting and complete reports monthly of all business processed through our site. We expect commissions to be paid promptly and that our business remains secure, even if we were to discontinue the relationship for any reason.
Can anyone recommend a web host company that fits these criteria? Is anyone familiar with or has had experience with Ehost's reseller program that pays up to 50% commission on $20 hosted sites?
Hi you want to check out these two companies

liveplanets.com has a kind of private server option that allows you the freedom of a dedicated machine. It is pretty unique. Infact we stole their idea and now offer a similar solution:) They were nice about it though. It also comes all with a merchant account for $80

:confused:
Are you asking for a reseller program or an affiliate program?
Are you asking for a one-time commission per sale or a recurring commission every month?

Looks like they stole parts of your website too. The "demo" button at http://www.liveplanets.com/super25.html is the same as on hosting24-7.com and even links to your site. :D

Can you expand your explaination more? ARe you looking for the hosting company to run your resellers system for you with your name and then bill your clients also? At the end you get the money for refering the customers to the reseller?
A little confuse on that.

http://www.liveplanets.comPersonally, I'd stay away from a company that makes such dishonest and deceptive statements as: "LivePlanets is the only webhosting company that dedicates 100% of its resources and manpower to serving the needs of webhosting resellers." Certainly that's not true. And check this out:
At LivePlanets, we understand that the key to your success is building customer loyalty and trust. One recent survey of the webhosting industry estimated that an overwhelming 68% of new web hosting clients will sign up with a company that own and operated their own server and hardware. Our anonymous DNS service will ensure just that. Your clients will never find out you were a reseller for LivePlanets as such you can concentrate of developing trust in your clients will we manage and monitor your servers and hardware. So their recommendation is that you should build "loyalty and trust" by lying to your own customers; that doesn't inspire much confidence that they aren't lying themselves. And casts doubt on wild claims like: "With clients in more than 90 countries worldwide and several thousand domains on our network..." Yeah, domains "on our network," that old dodge.
Hey, the Internet is a network! I have millions of domains on my network!
Of course, my pet peeve, too: an "About us" page that says nothing about the company.
I'm glad these LivePlanets guys aren't WHT members; otherwise I'd feel guilty about pointing this stuff out.

Seems strangely coincidental. I'll have to take alook at this recommendation to make sure there's nothing funny going on here...
Thanks for pointing that out. We permitted them to use our graphics in exchange for copting their plan:) I did'nt know they linked their c-panel demo to ours though!
