NEEDHAM, Mass.----RatePoint, Inc., a company founded by the former executive team of
GeoTrust, today announced the addition of 35 new web hosting companies
to its growing list of resellers. The RatePoint Consumer Approval
Program is a highly automated, scaleable service that can be re-sold to
businesses with little or no integration effort and allows resellers to
capitalize on a rapidly emerging market –
online reputation management and consumer feedback platforms.
The 35 new resellers, including HostPC, Sprocket Networks and Five Star
Hosting, join the RatePoint reseller community of now more than 50
companies with an aggregate reach in excess of 250,000 businesses. The
RatePoint reseller program gives web hosting companies, ISPs and other
technology providers a way to not only grow their business and revenue,
but to also add value to their customers.
“The hosting industry has become increasingly
competitive over the past few years with millions of hosting companies
and service providers vying for the same customers,”
said Neal Creighton, CEO of RatePoint. “Web
hosting companies are finding that they need to go beyond traditional
value-add services like e-commerce, web design and SSL certificates to
provide value to customers and maximize revenue. The RatePoint reseller
program gives them an opportunity to offer a truly differentiated and
high-demand service to their customers while increasing margins.”
The RatePoint Consumer Approval Program is a consumer driven program
that provides businesses with an affordable, interactive quality
assurance certification and consumer feedback platform. A valuable
service that helps merchants grow their businesses, it allows businesses
to easily capture consumer reviews and feedback. Actual consumer ratings
are verified using several techniques to validate authenticity, and
businesses then have an opportunity to respond to feedback before the
reviews are placed online. RatePoint then aggregates each experience
into an overall site rating that truly represents the quality of the
business.
“RatePoint provides our hosted merchants with
a sophisticated, yet easy to use consumer feedback management system,
which allows them to receive business reviews and helps resolve customer
issues in an efficient manner,” said Justin
Clutter, Managing Director/Co-Founder of Sprocket Networks, Powered by
AppServe Technologies. “It also displays the
reviews and compliments received through a badge that is highly visible
to any end customers visiting the merchants’
sites.”
