We are very proud to have our ServerBeach co-founder, Richard Yoo, back in the fold with his latest enterprise, Natuba. This innovative photo sharing company provides a simple way for people to capture and share single photos, whether from a desktop or a mobile phone.

“Our goal is to provide a simple way for people to share their photos and to make this process quick and easy, all based on a stable online environment,” said Richard Yoo, chief executive officer of Natuba. “In order to achieve this, we needed to rethink our network and hosting needs, which brought us to ServerBeach. The level of service and support is higher than what we found elsewhere, and we feel confident that our hosting and network will continue to grow efficiently with us, as our community of users increases.”

Today PEER 1 launched the new Partner Network, for all its lines of business – co-lo, managed hosting and ServerBeach self-managed – and means that we can work even more closely with our partners and their clients. This program really opens up many more revenue options as well, since it includes both a comprehensive Referral Program, active now, and Reseller Program, available soon. These programs offer features like:

Referral Partners
· Provided a variety of choices for significant business and revenue growth opportunities, and don’t have to close the sale or support the client afterwards
· Have revenue options to receive a one-time commission of up to 100% for each new referral or participate in a revenue sharing plan that pays a monthly recurring commission of up to 15%

Reseller Partners
· Eligible discounts for dedicated servers, setup fees and managed services
· Have the flexibility to set pricing
· Receive the full support of a dedicated PEER 1 account team made up of a personal account manager, technical specialist, and a billing specialist

One of our long-time partners who has been working with PEER 1 for 10 years, Mark Lewis the CTO of Mass Transmit, says:

“We have enjoyed a very consistent level of service with PEER 1 both with its Referral and Reseller Programs. We mostly resell their dedicated servers, but sometimes have clients who want to deal directly with the hosting provider. In those cases, we refer them to PEER 1 without hesitation, knowing they are in the best of hands. We also enjoy a good relationship with our account team. Our technical account manager has helped us many times when we’ve been in a pinch.”

Today, PEER 1 was given the honor of opening the market for the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). It was quite a fun experience for our attending staff and marks a significant milestone in the company’s nine year history.

From time to time we like to highlight a customer of ours that is really doing something cutting-edge. So if you haven’t checked out Navigaya.com yet, definitely give it a look.

Navigaya is a cool, new online community that works to unite users through its innovative multimedia platform. The community and platform serve as a “homepage” for the Internet, improving the way that people surf the Web and interact with each other. Since it combines every aspect of daily Internet use into one place, Navigaya members and visitrs no longer have to go to a new website for each online activity; instead each activity is brought to them within the site.

Users can search multiple search engines, manage music play lists and picture albums, access web apps, social networks, calendars, television and games. They can also get headlines and updates from any RSS feed, create YouTube powered streaming video play lists for uninterrupted background playback… all managed through a fluid, scrolling interface.

PEER 1 will be hosting a conference call on Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. E.D.T. to discuss its fourth quarter and year-end results. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available at:
