Pennywize announces Partnership Program
12 Aug 2001
Pennywize Password Protection, the leading solution for password trader prevention, today announced a new partnership based strategy to all hosting and billing companies wishing to offer Pennywize to thier clients.

Pennywize now works under a 'free subscription' model, whereby anyone can sign up for free and protect their site instantly. This now gives hosting companies the flexability to offer Pennywize to all their cusomters free of charge, or as some hosting companies are now doing, installing it by default on all new client sites free of charge.

PENNYWIZE PARTNERSHIP DEAL

This will entitle you to market and sell to your clients, Pennywize, the worlds best and strongest protection against password traders and brute force attacks. As a partner, you will have unlimited access to pennywize, allowing you to create as many accounts as you desire for your customers. You are not restricted in any way, therefore you can protect as many of your clients sites as you want, and can create as many accounts as you want to achieve this.

Because your customers are protected under the 'free' model, there is a very good chance that once they see the product working, they will want to upgrade and become a fee paying member to obtain the automatic disable functionality. For more information on 'free' accounts, see the pricing page.

Essentially there are two options, depending on how 'hands on' you want to be :

  1. Option 1 : You simply refer the customer to us. We will handle all of their setup, technical support and installation. You will receive a 20% recurring commission for the referral.
  2. Option 2 : Open a 'Pennywize Partners' account - this will enable you to resell Pennywize to your customers as if it were your own product. You will be able to open as many regular pennywize accounts as you like, protect as many sites as you like, and charge your customers whatever you want for the service. Typically you open one account per customer, and all that customers sites go into their account. On this plan, we charge $10 per account + $0.002 x unique monthly member logins.

CONDITIONS

  1. Under option 2, your company and staff will handle all technical support issues from your customers regarding Pennywize. Of course, you are free to charge for this if you wish.
  2. Available only under Unix / Apache platform.
  3. You must have 5 or more sites to be eligible
  4. Pennywize has the right to terminate this agreement at any time if it becomes grossly unprofitable

As you know, when a site is protected with Pennywize, you can rest easy knowing that password trading and brute force attacks will never harm that site.
