Fasthosts Launches Free Reseller Training Programme

GLOUCESTER, England, Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a leading web hosting provider, and Technology Sponsor of The Great Exhibition 2012, recently launched an independently certified webinar training programme created specifically for Fasthosts Resellers.  Provided free of charge to Fasthosts Advanced Reseller customers, the programme will deliver both strategic and practical training in how to build up a profitable reseller hosting business.  The first online session kicked off 11 am GMT on Tuesday 19 October 2010.  With its programme, Fasthosts aims to set a benchmark in the industry for best practice surrounding the resale of web hosting services.

Fasthosts has teamed up with the UK's leading provider of digital marketing training, Econsultancy, to compile an industry-leading training course for resellers of web hosting.  The web host has long been the UK's foremost specialist in reseller hosting.  As well as providing technical insights, the company will share business development and online marketing knowledge to help its resellers thrive in the growing reseller hosting market.  

Delivered through a series of six interactive webinars running from October 2010 to January 2011, the Fasthosts Reseller training programme will set a benchmark in the industry for the resale of web hosting services.  Once they have successfully completed the 6 interactive seminars (each 45 minutes) and brief assessment, participants will be awarded with an industry recognised and independently certified qualification - a Certificate of Digital Competency.  

Steve Holford, Marketing Director, Fasthosts Internet Ltd, said: "Our unique training programme will provide our resellers with a best practice introduction to reselling web hosting, fine tune digital skills and bolster online knowledge.  We will deliver the skills needed to hit the ground running and succeed with a new or existing business."

Fasthosts Reseller Hosting delivers access to a range of customisable web solutions including hosting, domains and email products at discounted reseller rates and includes unlimited web space and bandwidth.  Resellers earn recurring profits on the items they sell, are free to set their own price points and may charge for free elements such as unlimited web space, website traffic and email accounts.  Fasthosts Reseller packages are available on a 1 month contract meaning very low risk.

The Fasthosts Web Designer Advanced reseller package offers a high degree of freedom to structure hosting plans – resellers can create a customised package for each end customer, design and create their own range of packages or simply resell Fasthosts' own off-the-shelf packages.  Featuring the Fasthosts Reseller Control Dashboard, Custom Branding tools and Reseller API, the package comprises an efficient, high-quality, professional reseller platform at low cost.  New customers signing up receive full enrolment into the Fasthosts Reseller Training programme.

Holford added, "As a reseller hosting specialist, Fasthosts aims to deliver its resellers unrivalled support and innovation in equal measures."
