PEER 1 Partner Network

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.”
