Web Hosting Provider Host Gator's Top 1,000 Resellers Average 49.5

April 18, 2006; 01:43 AM
Host Gator, a leading provider of shared, dedicated and reseller web hosting, today announced that its top 1,000 resellers are averaging 49.5 hosted web sites with the top reseller hosting 827 sites.

In order to calculate the average, Host Gator retrieved data from the logs of 8,000 resellers that joined Host Gator between December 1, 2003 and February 22, 2006.

"We are extremely pleased about the fantastic progress our reseller partners are making," said Brent Oxley, president and co-founder of Host Gator. "Starting from scratch and getting up to nearly 50 hosted sites is a testament to the enormous business potential of our reseller program."

The results are even more impressive considering that Host Gator resellers typically upgrade to a dedicated server when they reach about 50 customers. These dedicated hosting clients were not included in the survey.

Host Gator began working with resellers in December 2003 and its network now includes over 10,000 partners, with the company adding hundreds of new resellers every month. It is by far one of the largest reseller networks in the web hosting industry.

With Host Gator's fees among the best in the industry, resellers are able to offer competitive price points that maximize profits. The Aluminum Plan is priced at just $24.95 per month and can accommodate the hosting of an unlimited number of web sites.

"Anybody can start their own web hosting business by becoming a Host Gator reseller, and with our pricing and support, it can produce extremely profitable revenue streams," said Oxley.
