Calling All Resellers
November 14, 2007 by Todd Mitchell, Marketing in Servers and Solutions, The Planet
Are you a shared or dedicated hosting reseller? If I told you about a reseller program with increasing monthly discounts, easy account management and a free month to start, would you be interested? If you’ve screamed “Yes!” at the top of your lungs in response to any of these questions, I’m excited to share the launch of The Planet’s brand new Reseller Program … and I’d also recommend speaking with someone about that whole “yelling while reading a blog post on the Internet” problem you’ve got.
If you know The Planet, you know that we’re the largest privately held dedicated server hosting company in the world. What you might not know is that more than half of our business is made up of Web hosting resellers of various shapes and sizes … from garage-based operations reselling a few servers to close friends to multi-million dollar companies seeking market share in the global shared hosting arena. We provide the back-end network, hardware infrastructure and support to keep those businesses online and thriving. To accommodate the unique needs of these customers, we reinvigorated our reseller program to feature a customized control portal, enhanced discount structure and a free month of service for our charter members on all new server orders.
What Participating Resellers Get
- Monthly discount on already competitive prices
- A dedicated sales team with extended hours
- A custom portal with reseller-specific functions
- Ability to order online with discounts 24×7
- The Planet’s enterprise-level data centers and network
- The freedom to focus on your core competencies without worrying about your infrastucture
How the Program Works
When you join the program, you are eligible for a free month of service on every new server order, and as you grow your business, you will be eligible for our three tiers of membership: Tier 1 ($500-$2,500 per month), Tier 2 ($2,501-$5,000) and Tier 3 ($5,001+) levels each entitle you to larger monthly discounts on your server orders. Every member of the program will have full access to The Planet’s marketing resources, frequently asked questions, and account management staff to be sure that you have all the information needed to help ensure your business can to grow quickly.
After you sign up (hint, hint), we’ll fill you in on all of the details. We are excited to offer you an enterprise-level program at small business prices!

Nice post, Todd. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
If anyone has trouble accessing the new portal, either leave a comment here or send me a quick email: khazard AT theplanet (dot) com.

Well the word is out!…..
Rackspace is falling apart again. its to my
understanding that the whole infrastructure has failed
and they now have emergency generators and chillers
for the past two or three weeks in the parking lot.
This must be vary bad for the remaining customers to
go through this again and again, not to mention that
Rackspace is not a true redundancy A-B side as they
advertise to the public. This company is a bad
investment!

what separates you and every other re-seller hosting company?
Just wondering because it seems many pages are like this in terms of “offering re-seller and dedicated servers” but I see no differntiation.
I just came across this site http://www.cashrichmoney.com, and thought the exact same thing.
How is your brand any different?

If you sign up for this you should be prepared to keep track of what you refer and make sure you get what is coming to you. I was a reseller back in the beginning and I frequently got shafted and not crdited for referrals, and denied they were ever refered by me, even when the company I refered said I was. Also denied I was ever a reseller with signed reseller agreement in hand.

good luck with your marketing Todd! I’m always looking for ways to facilitate networking with like-minded individuals. I especially appreciate unique tools that help me harness the power of web 2.0 and social bookmarking sites so I can make good use of my time. There’s nothing worse than spending countless hours online to build your online presence, while losing valuable time that you could be spending with your friends and family. Luckily, I’ve found tons of useful tools to meet like-minded individuals and network super efficiently. In this age of user generated content driving up a website’s ranking, content is king and getting that content in front of the right people is the name of the game! Keep up the great blog.
