The Planet just announced the expansion of its partner offerings with the addition of an affiliate program. This generally would not warrant an announcement but The Planet is one of the largest and most influential dedicated hosting companies around. If you're interested in earning commissions from The Planet by making referrals read on.

When affiliates refer a new dedicated hosting customer, they will receive a one-time, 65 percent commission based on that new customer's monthly recurring revenue after the third full month. That means earning referral commissions start at $44 and go up to $1,000 or more. This is quite the generous payout so if you're a designer or developer looking to build out your own revenue stream this could be a great solution.

Just to sweeten the deal a bit, The Planet also announced a celebratory kick-off promotion for the new program. For the month of February, the company will pay an additional $1,000 to the affiliate member who generates the largest volume of referrals. Another $250 has been designated as a bonus to the member who refers the month’s largest single transaction.
