Affinity Internet, Inc. (www.affinity.com), a leading managed web and application hosting service provider, today introduced an enhanced Partner Program that will provide its channel partners with incremental discounts of up to 40 percent. The newly revised program will also allow the company's partners to sign up as a reseller on their first account.

"Our enhanced Reseller Program creates greater profit faster for our partners. Additionally, it lowers the barrier to entry for those who are just venturing into web hosting, and also makes migrating accounts and program testing more economical," said Tiffani Bova, vice president of sales and channel programs.

With the addition of the Reseller Program, the Affinity Partner Program, which hosts more than 1,800 resellers, now encompasses three main levels of participation. Its Referral Program provides partners with commissions by referring hosting customers with online and offline efforts; and the Strategic Program allows partners to introduce web hosting into their product line. The Reseller Program is available for all shared Unix and Windows hosting accounts, e-commerce packages and managed dedicated hosting solutions.

"All the changes and consolidation with web hosting providers have created an environment where resellers of hosting need options from a stable partner. The financial state of our company, combined with a program that enables resellers to experience our benefits without becoming too heavily invested have removed the risk for the reseller. We have created a comprehensive program that addresses the concerns received directly from the reseller community," said Pat Donohoe, vice president of marketing.

The Affinity Partner Program provides a unique service to web developers, VARs, system integrators, solution providers and telecommunication providers by offering recurring revenue, annual 24-hour customer service, sales support and access to an online partner community. Additionally, partners may combine their integration services with Affinity Hardware and network infrastructure to create a full-service managed hosting solution.

Affinity, Inc. recently merged with top web hosting company, CyberGate, Inc. The combined company now hosts more than 275,000 domains for approximately 100,000 customers worldwide, and is expected to produce immediate operational and financial results. Web Hosting Magazine recently honored both companies, as two of the Top 10 Web Hosts in the World. Operating under the name Affinity, Inc., the company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
