1&1 Internet Joins Commission Junction to Offer Unique Affiliate Referral Program in U.S.

Philadelphia, November 15, 2004 - (HostReview) - 1&1 Internet, the world's largest Web-hosting provider by known servers, has joined with online performance marketing leader Commission Junction to develop the 1&1 Affiliate Program, a free value-added service through which participants can earn money for helping the company gain new customers.

The 1&1 Affiliate Program offers affiliate partners, called publishers, commissions between $2.50 and $80 each time someone they have referred enrolls with 1&1. The actual commission amount varies depending upon the product the new user purchases.  Commissions are available on all of 1&1 Internet's hosting products. Publishers first join Commission Junction at www.cj.com, apply for membership to 1& 1's Affiliate Program, and then select a text link or banner to add to their web site or email campaign.

An automated tracking system managed by Commission Junction ensures that publishers receive credit—and payment—for each new 1&1 customer that originates from their site.

"Referrals are an integral part of our ongoing success," said Andreas Gauger, 1&1 Chairman of the Board. "The new program serves the dual purposes of encouraging more referral business and rewarding those who recommend us. It's a win-win for all involved and another example of our desire to offer customers innovative products at optimal value."

Gauger credited the decision to work with Commission Junction as opening up new possibilities for market exposure and continued customer loyalty.

"Our relationship with Commission Junction allows us to reach a broad audience of website owners and potential customers," Gauger said.

"In working with Commission Junction, 1&1 has joined a growing league of smart companies that realize that performance marketing is a valuable, cost-effective channel for acquiring new customers," said David Duckwitz, vice president of sales at Commission Junction.

In addition to free Commission Junction enrollment and high commission rates, participants in the 1&1 Affiliate Program are able to buy and try most all 1&1 hosting or domain name packages and still receive a commission. 1&1's comprehensive web hosting solutions offer a 90-day money back guarantee, 24/7 phone support and extremely competitive pricing.
