SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Magento, a leading eCommerce platform provider and a division of
X.commerce, Inc., an eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) company, announced details
of a program extending Magento’s partnership benefits to web hosting
providers. The Magento Hosting Partner Program recognizes the strategic
role that web hosting providers play in delivering on the high quality
of service Magento merchants expect from the leading eCommerce platform.
The program helps ensure close strategic alliances and joint commitments
for hosting partners. Magento established the program to make it easy
for merchants to get their sites up and running in a world-class
environment. The multi-level program also offers training, expanded
visibility and promotion opportunities across the eBay Inc. family of
products including PayPal, MarketPlaces and X.commerce.

“This program underscores the important role that our hosting partners
play in Magento’s ability to deliver on the exceptional capabilities and
performance that customers have come to expect from Magento,” said
Annette Merriman business development manager at X.commerce. “By jointly
addressing the needs of merchants and other partners and contributors to
our ecosystem, we can work to drive better experiences for all our
merchants.”

The Hosting
Partner Program consists of three tiers with different levels of
commitment, including Platinum (listed below), Gold (Simple
Helix) and Silver (Neoverve).

Magento and its highly diversified partner network are committed to
continuous innovation with the goal of staying at the forefront of
commerce evolution. The X.commerce open ecosystem, in which Magento
plays a key role, empowers all participants to take advantage of an
unprecedented choice of technologies needed for end-to-end commerce –
shopping carts, payment services, inventory management, marketplace
integration, SEO, tax guidance and more- all in one location.
