(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting tutorial provider DemoWolf (www.demowolf.com) has officially launched its "Hosting Partner Program," giving web hosts that make a pre-payment discounts of between 70 and 85 percent off branded tutorials, based on the amount of their pre-payment.
According to DemoWolf's Tuesday announcement, rather than a tradional reseller program, where resellers earn a commission, this reseller program gives larger hosts the opportunity to to buy DemoWolf tutorials and resell them to web hosting resellers and clients who can then sell them to their customers.
"There have been several hosting companies wanting to get into the hosting tutorial market" DemoWolf president Rob Moore said in a statement, explaining that many reseller hosting providers can benefit from selling branded tutorials to their existing web hosting customers.
"With this new Hosting Partner Program, we make it as easy as possible for hosts to do just that, and not have to worry about filling each order (i.e. replacing logos for their customers) and paying us each time they want to fill an order for their customer," Moore said. "They simply have to send in a tutorial request, and we'll fill the order directly to the customer."
Web hosts that signup for the Hosting Partner Program must choose a "Partner Level" which requires a pre-payment for future requested tutorials. Bronze Partners pay $1,000 to get a 70 percent discount on future tutorials; Silver Partners pay $3,000 for 75 percent off; Gold Partners pay $5,000 for 80 percent off; and Platinum Partners pay $10,000 for 85 percent off.
Partners will be able to offer DemoWolf's more than 3,000 flash tutorials to their customers. These tutorials are abel to be re-branded, so customers can re-brand their tutorials with their own logo (not DemoWolf's logo or the partner's logo).

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
