The Planet Offers Alpha Deals
Web hosting provider The Planet announced on Tuesday it is offering three new promotions that offer enhanced data protection and security for Planet Alpha dedicated server customers.
The company is offering a free 90 day trial on new orders of Network Backup and EVault Backup for a limited time.
Both solutions are hosted on The Planet’s managed storage infrastructure and are available in 10GB to 80GB, or larger capacities for mission-critical environments.
This is the latest promotion The Planet is offering since it launched its new Planet Alpha Dedicated Servers and Planet Northstar Managed Hosting divisions. Last week, The Planet added the Xeon 3210-SAS servers, which includes 146GB hard drive and 2GB RAM, to its line of Planet Alpha’s Ready To Go Servers.
Planet Alpha Data Protection Servers, which includes continuous data protection software from R1Soft, are discounted up to 29 percent, or a savings of $ 140 per month. They offer storage capacities of up to 6TB, and feature bare-metal recovery and block-level backup capabilities.
Existing customers can receive up to a 26 percent discount on Planet Alpha firewall solutions. The Check Point X16 firewall is available for $ 139 per month compared to its regular $ 189 price tag, while the Check Point XU firewall is now $ 69 per month, down from $ 89.
Additionally, Private Rack and Virtual Private Rack customers can order any one of three Cisco ASA solutions at a 15 percent discount.
“With The Planet’s backup and data protection solutions, SMBs can gain the simplest form of business continuity insurance at an affordable monthly rate,” says Rob Walters, GM of storage and data protection at The Planet. “Coupled with firewalls, customers gain peace of mind knowing that critical information is both protected and recoverable.”
The Planet Enhances Affiliate Program
Web hosting provider The Planet announced on Monday it has enhanced the commission structure of its affiliate program, in response to the program’s significant success.
Registered affiliates will now receive a one-time, 100 percent commission on the referred customer’s total monthly recurring order value. The Planet is also shortening the waiting period for affiliate commission-payout, reducing it from three months to 45 days after a referred customer places an order with The Planet.
“Since our January launch, our affiliate program has seen tremendous success,” says James P. Treuting, vice president of sales and operations with The Planet. “Making these improvements to our already competitive commission structure is another way to thank our partners for referring customers to The Planet.”
Launched in January, The Planet’s affiliate program provides commissions for both customers and non-customers who refer new business to the company. Prior to that, The Planet launched a three-tiered reseller program last November that provides Web hosting resellers with multiple options for building their businesses.
In May, The Planet announced it had added Internet products company Directi to its affiliates program. Share-A-Sale is The Planet?s affiliate network partner.
Affiliates can earn money by referring customers to The Planet on a commission basis. The Planet says it has optimized its website for affiliate-related traffic, as well as provides affiliates with marketing materials and promotions.
Affiliates can also track their conversion statistics through a specialized administrative portal.
