Affiliate commission goes through the roof

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Happy to report that the eBoundHost affiliate system is picking up momentum nicely. We have been running for just over 160 days and the statistics speak for themselves. A lot of people are making quite a bit of money very quickly. The great thing is that there is almost no work involved, most of these people simply place links on their existing websites and the system takes care of the rest. Click here to view affiliate progress.

So what is the best way to make a great affiliate system even better? Raise the payout! How about $100 commission per customer? It seems outrageous to pay more in commission than the client brings in over a year but it is completely sustainable for the eBoundHost business model. We are here for the long haul.

To all of our affiliates: we are thrilled to work with you. Keep up the good work!

Affiliate program details

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

The new eBoundHost Affiliate Program was launched with the redesigned eBoundHost.com website, on August 1, 2006.

As the result of a six month industry study and collaboration with existing affiliates, it was determined that most participants prefer a large lump sum payout rather than a monthly recurring commission for the lifetime of the client. This is more profitable for the affiliates and is a better incentive to participate. The new program rewards an incredible $80 for every paying customer.

Who is this system for?
A:
Anyone with a website. To participate in the program, the affiliate simply inserts their link at the bottom of their website.

To create an account, follow these prompts:
https://secure.eboundhost.com/afsignup

How does it work?
A:
Affiliates have a unique link which sends visitors to eBoundHost. When a visitor from such a link signs up for service, a credit is issued to the affiliate account.

How do affiliates get paid?
A:
This comes in two payments, first $40 is paid after the initial 90 days, and the second $40 is 90 days after that. If the client cancells, it means no further payments.

Tracking progress:
A:
All information is listed on the front page of the AFFILIATES section of eBoundHost.com. Clicking through on the affiliate nickname or typing it into the form will show more detailed information. Only general information is on display for public viewing, sensitive information is always kept confidential.

Which plans are eligible?
A:
Any standard, non-promotional package is eligible.

Are current affiliates effected?
A:
Existing affiliates may elect to retain their old program or switch to the new system. No pressure!

The big news, redesign

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

The newly redesigned eBoundHost.com website went live on August 1, 2006. This is a very proud moment for all of us in the EBH family since it represents many months of behind the scenes efforts. Award winning web designers and our own back end integrators worked closely to link the new graphics to our custom content management system.

Apart from the new look, there is plethora of exciting offerings. The new Home and Professional packages are the very first multi-domain offerings from EBH. Up to 12 domain names may now be hosted on one account for the Professional and up to 5 for Home.

Hard drive storage is upgraded to 25 GB and 15 GB respectively for Professional and Home packages. Bandwidth is at an enormous 450 GB for both packages. This means a virtually unlimited hosting package that will serve your needs for the foreseeable future.

Prepaid accounts are now rewarded with our lowest prices ever. Customers prepaying for a 24 Month term pay as low as $6.55 for a hosting account. Of course we realize that this is not an option for everyone this is why there are several billing cycles, Monthly, Quarterly, 6-Month, 12-Month and 24-Month. The more you prepay, the deeper the discount.

Domain names are always free for new accounts. This is a tradition that we intend to keep!

By far the most exciting news is our new affiliate program. A more detailed blog entry will be posted about this system because there is so much to say. But to summarize, referrals earn $80 for the affiliate. This is an incredible opportunity for our clients, by simply placing a link on the website, you can earn hundreds of dollars each month.
