Web hosting provider The Planet (theplanet.com) announced on Wednesday it has made several enhancements to its Partner Plus Program (theplanet.com/reseller-program) for resellers.

The company is now offering registered reseller partners volume discounts up to 20 percent, depending on their monthly order value.

It is also offering new server bundles optimized for resellers, including key software and upgrade options, at reduced prices.

Resellers who bill up to $2,500 per month receive 10 percent discounts on new orders, while those who bill more than $2,500 and up to $5,000 receive 20 percent discounts. Resellers who bill more than $5,000 are eligible for special bids.

The new server bundles are built on high-quality Dell servers loaded with either the Intel Xeon 3450 or the Dual Xeon 5520.

Each server includes RAID, cPanel control panels, KVM-over-IP, and 5TB of bandwidth, along with increased RAM and hard drive capacity.

The bundles are priced at up to 38 percent off list pricing, with additional discounts provided for registered resellers.

Finally, reseller partners are assigned a dedicated Channel Account Manager as a single point of contact, in addition to the company's 24-hour technical support.

"Reseller partners are core to our business, and our goal is to help them succeed by offering the most competitive prices, comprehensive tools and support in the hosting industry," says Tom Blair, The Planet's vice president of global sales. "With new bulk-order discounts and server bundles expressly optimized for the reseller community, partners will have even more reasons to build their businesses with The Planet."

The Planet is also sponsoring the upcoming WHIR networking event in Houston on February 18, where industry executives, solution providers and corporate decision makers can network face-to-face in a social setting.
