Cirtex Corp. Upgrades Popular Affiliate Program, Boosts Payout to Unprecedented $150 Per Sale

July 7th, 2010 admin No Comments »

Cirtex Corp., parent company of hosting leaders CirtexHosting, HostV, and soon to be launched JENKU, today unveiled major upgrades to its affiliate program, which remains one of the most popular and lucrative in the hosting industry. Affiliates are one of the company’s most significant sources of growth.

The affiliate program, which allows referrals to both CirtexHosting and HostV, now pays even higher commissions. Affiliates can now earn up to $150 for generating a qualified sale of a hosting plan worth just $2.49 per month—an unprecedented payout. The affiliate program is also now integrated into the Cirtex Corp. billing system, which means faster and more accurate commission payouts for affiliates.

“Our philosophy has always been to treat our affiliates like gold. In fact, we work with affiliates closely to offer whatever they need to drive sales—whether it’s fresh marketing materials or modifications to our hosting plans. Affiliates, by their inherent nature, are on the front lines of hosting sales, and we very much respect their feedback. Affiliate sales have a significant factor in the growth of our business for many years,” said Cirtex Corp. President John Xie. “We can confidently say nobody in this industry values affiliates more than we do—and our affiliates will agree.”

Affiliates can also take advantage of upgrades to the internal affiliate tracking system. Referral tracking links can now be shortened (for example, http://www.hostv.com/#affiliate instead of longer tracking links) and affiliates can enjoy more accurate and timely reporting of referred sales.

For more information about the Cirtex Corp. affiliate program, please visit either http://www.hostv.com/affiliates.shtml or http://www.cirtexhosting.com/affiliates.shtml.

Last month, Cirtex Corp. released its Cirtex Webmaster Tools application for Android, the Google-sponsored open-source operating system for mobile phones. The release followed the release of a similar application for Apple’s iPhone.

Unlimited bandwidth Shared Web hosting from CirtexHosting starts at $2.49 per month for unlimited disk space, Colortex cPanel, and a wide variety of other value-added features. Reseller hosting starts at $25.99 per month for 25GB of disk space, and Business hosting starts at $35.99 per month for 20GB of disk space.
