Web Hosting Provider Issued New Affiliate Program

The Windows web hosting provider uplinkearch has issued a new affiliate program. The web-hosting provider hosts more than 40,000 domain names and the affiliate program helps it to promote its suite of virtual solutions and servers. The company?s previous affiliate program, which was managed by a third party, helped the company maintain constant growth throughout its seven years of service to the industry.

?Affiliate marketing has been an important strategy for uplinkearth in the past several years, and as we continue to expand our products and services, our affiliate program must remain competitive and meet the demands of the people we serve,? said Michael Yablonowitz, uplinkearth President and CEO. In early April, the previous affiliate program was deactivated and affiliates were sent a notice informing them of the change. Accrued commissions from the previous program were transferred to the new one.

?We have received a lot of positive feedback with our new affiliate interface and program incentives, and I think the community has really embraced the changes,? said Yablonowitz. Commissions are offered in tiers, starting at $35 for Micro Plans, and up to $65 for sales of Quantum and Titanium plans. Dedicated server leads that convert to sales are rewarded with a $150 commission. Affiliates are paid within 45 days of the end of every month that they reach a preset minimum balance. A large selection of banners, buttons, text links and other promotional materials are available free of charge for affiliates. Additionally, custom creative requests can be made by high-volume affiliates.
