XO Communications Adds Referral Categories

Two new referral categories have been added to XO Communications Inc. for its small and medium sized business hosting brand, Concentric. The name of the new program is Affiliates and Commissioned Agents, and its addition to the XO family is providing members with the most competitive referral payouts in the hosting industry.

`The $70 affiliate payment is very competitive and our commission payment of up to 35 percent of ongoing revenue is the highest we",ve seen in the industry,` said Barbara Branaman, vice president and general manager of XO`s hosting business unit. `As a referral partner of Concentric, they can be assured that they are promoting a leading hosting and email service that offers unsurpassed security, performance and reliability all at an affordable price.`

The enhancements expand the revenue opportunities that Concentric offers to referral partners. For no cost, anyone can sign-up as an Affiliate or a Commissioned Agent and qualify for commissions on new accounts. Affiliates earn $70 for each new customer that signs up for qualifying hosting account. Commissioned Agents earn recurring monthly commissions of 10 to 35 percent of the monthly booked revenue for accounts signed up.
