Consolidator Promotion Drives More Than 100 Percent
Growth in New Small to Medium Resellers Added Per Month
[21st April 2003]
ENGLEWOOD,
Colo., Apr 21, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Verio, a subsidiary
of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced that
its viaVerio Consolidator Promotion, which gives resellers
serving the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) hosting
space cash incentives to streamline their accounts under
the viaVerio Reseller Program, has doubled the amount
of new resellers each month, with consolidator sales
accounting for a quarter of new sales since the program's
launch in December last year.
To
enable additional resellers to take advantage of this
successful program, Verio will extend the promotion
until June 30, 2003.
Through
the Consolidator Promotion, resellers can easily streamline
customer accounts by consolidating on the Verio hosting
platform. Verio pays resellers from $100 to $1000, depending
on the plan, for each account the reseller migrates
to Verio. In addition, the setup fee is waived on consolidated
accounts. Verio will assist resellers who are transitioning
a large number of accounts with the migration process,
waiving the hourly charge for this service, with some
conditions.
"We've
already signed more than 30 accounts under Verio's Consolidator
Program," said Salvatore Iozzia, owner of ChainReactionWeb.com.
"Verio is a true innovator in web hosting with
solid technology and experience that set it apart from
other players in the market. This program and other
reseller initiatives allow us to pass on many great
benefits to our customers. We're excited to continue
our participation in this program."
"The
phenomenal growth is just the beginning of our continued
efforts to offer increased opportunities for resellers
and the channel overall," said Doug Schneider,
president of Verio's SME Hosting business unit. "This
consolidator program, and our other channel initiatives,
demonstrate that resellers continue to look for ways
to make it easier to manage their accounts and simplify
their business while reaping the financial benefits.
We see this program continuing to gain ground for one
simple reason...it gives resellers an advantage in this
competitive market."
The
viaVerio program provides resellers with access to a
variety of higher value hosting services unavailable
from many other companies, and offers resellers a range
of Internet services targeting the SME market, including
Web hosting on a shared, virtual private server or managed
private server platform, domain name registration and
e-commerce solutions. In addition, viaVerio resellers
receive volume discounts, private label opportunities,
and technical, sales and marketing support.
