AFFILIATE WEBSITE HOSTING and more.

[Robban]

I am about to launch two high traffic & high content websites designed to make money with affiliates and adsense. One of the key affiliate partners I would like to enlist would be the website host itself. Anybody have a good reference and/or experience with this? My current provider Godaddy (for own testing & personal business site) doesnt offer affiliate opportunities. (only complete resell which I do not want to get into) I would like to host my new sites with a host that meets these requirements:

1) The host should be a solid company with good financial records. = not going out of business on me a few years from now. I do not want to host with a SMALL player. It might have its advantages but "your house might burn down...or your spouse might walk out on you and take 1/2 the drives with him/her".

2) Unlike GoDaddy (which is my current host) it should offer easy affiliate opportunity for hosting. I would love to use go daddy but the only way to make money is to become a reseller with a name and site etc... (too complicated)

3) It should have super up-time record with stats etc.

4) It should be search engine friendly - whatever really that means.

Thats about it. Is that too much to ask?

Robban,

Have you tried looking at CJ? They have several hosting affiliate programs. Best to get a personal recommendation though I know, so hopefully an affiliate will chime in with their 2 cents.

I personally use oneandone as my host; I use the compagny based in France, they are extremely reliable, offer the best hosting on the net and they offer an affiliate program in France so i beleive that it should be the same in the US or UK sites. I get paid 40 Euros for every customer that I send that buys the pro package at a price of 200 euros a year.

There is also Lycos Webcentre which is a very good host in Europe who pay out 3% of sales and can be used via http://www.tradedoubler.com

After checking the US site of oneandone webhost I can confirm that indeed OneandOne offer affiliate marketing.

Here is what they payout:

Here is a link to a free to join reseller hosting package with a built in affiliate program.

I am curerntly hosting three affiliate sites here and have had no problems. Up time is great, support is guaranteed fast, live chat line support works during business hours.

Note that this is to my reseller hosting site, and I will make a commission if you decide to join the program.

Third Sphere hosting has just about everything you need to create an ecommerce website. Plus they have an affiliate program that pays $10 a month for each person who signs up through you. It costs $25 per month and has lots of perks. The company has a stellar reputation and its been in business a long time.
