The Netcera Affiliate Program is tailored to independent Web developers and designers, as well as people who can help in the process of developing a more effective Web presence.

• Affiliate Developer

As an affiliate developer, along with being able to offer your clients a far more powerful website and actually develop custom Web applications for them, you receive 20% of the monthly hosting fees on any referral if you host with us, applied first to your own hosting fees and then paid to you, plus 10% of any contracts you bring to us.

You also have access to our programming and support services – you can suddenly offer your clients custom programming for a fraction of the normal cost, because we can add just about any functionality into the Datasite platform far more quickly and easily than programming from scratch. And we can assist you in the technical end of the design process, programming or troubleshooting problems – you now have your own IT department.

And finally, the Datasite's content management capabilities will speed up and streamline the design process, while offering powerful web-based collaboration and site preview features. All while enhancing your professionalism.

• Affiliate Business Partner

If you offer skills or services which can help our clientele, we are interested in working with you as an affiliate business partner, both to augment our own offerings and to offer our services to your clients. Affiliates can post a referral listing on our site for our clients and potential clients, with a short description, logo image, and contact information as well as a link to your website.

If you've read this far, you know that Netcera is offering something truly unique which can be of great value to your own clientele. In addition, if you host with Netcera you receive 20% of your referrals' monthly fees, first as credit toward your own hosting fees, and then as payment to you, as well as 10% of any contract you bring to us.

The Shape of Things To Come

Most probably, you’ve noticed that the Web is consolidating – larger companies are taking over more and more of the content that the average Web user views, and Web hosting is increasingly being taken over by the large hosting farms because they can offer more speed and reliability for cheaper prices than small local companies with a T-1 line. This consolidation is also moving to the design end - In the next few years, we will see a large-scale movement toward dynamic, database-driven websites, which favors larger design companies that have access to programming expertise. Clearly, most larger Web development firms are already a part of this movement.

Netcera was founded on the principle of supporting small to medium-sized businesses, including and especially web developers. To that end, we have looked toward the future and developed a solution that we feel will help your business flourish.

Affiliate Developer Program Benefits

We've spent a great deal of time putting together an affiliate developer program that works to your advantage in a number of ways:

1. You can develop sites faster, both because the Datasite streamlines the process and because your clients can actually be inserting and editing content the first day from any browser. You set up simple page templates in a few minutes, grabbing them from the Datasite's library, then as you move forward in the design process it's easy to replace an existing template with your design.
2. Because the Datasite is browser-based, your clients can collaborate with you and with each other on site content and organization, allowing long-distance collaboration and taking the burden of content management off of you.
3. You can hire low-skilled workers to assist you in site development and management.
4. You can offer your clients cutting edge database-driven sites on a fast, multi-homed server with the same high-speed, redundant, low-hop connections used by the largest corporate websites, but at rates that are very competitive, which is a powerful selling point.
5. Site redesigns are a piece of cake - change templates, move pages, redesign the interface and beta test it over the Web, then hit the Publish button and you're live instantly. No moving content from one page design to another, no building a new site almost from scratch. Because this lowers the cost, time, and possibility of errors in the site, this encourages your clients to engage your services for a redesign much more often - because site redesigns mean return visits.
6. You have access to custom programming by the same highly skilled and creative people who developed the Datasite. In fact, the Datasite is designed to be a high-level development platform which already incorporates many of the functions necessary for most Web programming - by leveraging the existing code of the Datasite, we can do pretty much anything you see on the Web in much less time and at far lower cost than custom builds. That means you can offer your clients capabilities that make their work easier and more effective, that match or exceed their larger competitors, and that distinguish them as highly professional to their customers and potential customers.
7. You're a part of Netcera which means that, along with access to the Datasite and expert programming, you also have access to help and troubleshooting far beyond what most hosting companies offer, and you have input into our development directions.
8. You can get your own hosting costs to zero and have the power of the Datasite for your own site by just referring a few clients and,
9. You get paid after that, 20% of each referral’s hosting fees per month, and we'll pay you 10% of any contract that you bring to us. If you're currently referring your customers to a hosting company, you'll increase your income while providing them with a far more complete solution. If you're currently working with a wholesale hosting company, switching to Netcera means you're offering affordable hosting with high customer retention and comparable profits, without the hassle of providing customer support and with far more support available to you.
10. Netcera site referrals - We will be advertising our service and touting our list of affiliates. You are listed on our site along with a brief description, contact information, and a link to your home page.
11. Picture this -- you're across town or 1,000 miles away and you get a message that there's an incredibly important change to your big client's site that has to be made as soon as possible. You login from the nearest browser, make the change, call them and talk over the changes and tweak them as you both look at the preview, then click Publish. Are they happy?
