Rackspace
Rackspace is a cloud computing company which was founded in 1998. The company is dedicated to providing convenience to customers – every product Rackspace offers is managed, allowing customers to focus more on development and less on the management and upkeep of hosting. The company’s employees, called “Rackers”, help organizations find the best data storage and management solutions, on the cloud network of their choice. Owing to their quality products and services, Rackspace has been recognized as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure Managed Service Providers.
If you’re looking to earn a little extra on the side, Rackspace has an easy and transparent affiliate program for partners who can refer businesses to Rackspace and convince them to select it as their Managed Cloud provider.
Rackspace and its Partner Program
Rackspace offers various products to its customers; these services include the Email and Productivity Suite (which includes Hosted Exchange and Rackspace Email and Office 365), and the Rackspace OpenStake Public Cloud service. Affiliates can choose to market one, or both these services of Rackspace.
Rackspace offers a commission rate of $50 for the promotion of both these product categories. However, the condition attached to this commission is that the affiliates’ referrals must have generated a minimum of $150 worth of paid invoices, over the timespan of 12 consecutive months.
The Sign-Up Procedure for Affiliates
Rackspace encourages marketers, agents, web designers/developers, consultants and digital agencies to sign up for their affiliate program and promote their services in the global marketplace. To sign up for this program, affiliates must register themselves through Rackspace’s partner portal. Here, affiliates are required to fill out a registration form, and sign a ‘click-to-agree’ contract. Once the Rackspace on-boarding process is completed, affiliates can begin promoting the services and earning commissions.
