NationalNet acquires equity stake in Executive Stats
 

NationalNet Partners with Shaw Internet Consultants

Partnership confirms NationalNet?s dedicated hosting accomplishments and lays the foundation for future success


ATLANTA (November 21, 2006) -- NationalNet, Inc., an internet based managed hosting services company that offers Managed Hosting and IT solutions to small & mid-market enterprise organizations, announced today that it has partnered with Shaw Internet Consultants, the developer of Executive Stats. Under the terms of the partnership, Shaw Internet will continue their exemplary sales and marketing activities while NationalNet will assume program management, customer support and development responsibilities for Executive Stats (ES).

?The company is always on the look out for a market differentiator and believes we have found one in ES,? says Tony Morgan, CEO of NationalNet. ?To incorporate a mission critical application such as Executive Stats into our renowned managed hosting services environment only enhances the value proposition to our customers.?

Executive Stats was developed to address the gap in the marketplace for a full-feature, robust statistics program for affiliate owners. Executive Stats allows program owners to easily determine who their top-performing affiliates are in terms of revenue and traffic. Executive Stats also analyzes affiliate transactions to track profitability, productivity and fraud. ES is extremely customizable, allowing the affiliate program owner to develop his or her own fraud controls, create a distinctive GUI, monitor affiliate and surfer behavior, provide a well organized marketing area for affiliates and offer compatibility to several payment processors.

?When we decided to move forward with the development of Executive Stats we were initially focused on augmenting the tools to more effectively manage our own Affiliate program,? says Brad Shaw, CEO of Shaw Internet. ?We soon recognized a partner was needed with demonstrated managed services capability, software development experience and exceptional technical support. NationalNet was an easy choice considering they have managed our web presence for years and confirm daily why they are the best in the industry.?

Executive Stats software is either leased on a monthly basis or licensed for a lifetime to companies that employ affiliates to drive visitors to their web site. Please see www.executivestats.com for more detailed information on these features and more.

nice. with your staff of geeks... that'll definately help with integration and development. and hopefully attract some new programs to your hosting business ... with more tools available under one roof.

Congrats on the deal. :)

Looking forward to working with Nat Net on Executive Stats. This has been in the works for several months.

With the growth of Executive Stats since its inception, it was a natural progression to team up with company that offers first class support 24/7/365. This move will greatly benefit all current, and future ES customers.

Does this mean that people who lease or buy executive stats in the future will have to host those servers with NatNet? (not trying to stir shit, just curious)

Ideally the customer would have their database server with National Net.. but this not set in stone...the main reason is that National Net can then provide true 365/24/7 live monitoring of that database to ensure that your program is not down due to a mysql hiccup or worse a failed harddrive. Plus they back up all of the data every few hours...

as a lease client the software is pre installed on a Nat Net server.. we just need tours, program graphics and billing codes and we can have a company up and running much faster than before...

lastly.. with National Net being the ones doing support .. they are the only ones with access to a clients database... which we feel will add a nice layer of confidentiality to any programs business...

Hey Lenny....

Thats a very good question. No, if you buy the software you can host it and your site anywhere you like. If you lease the software, then the hosting of the software is included in the lease price...you can still host your site where ever you like. Of course, we would LOVE for you to host your sites with us but it will never be a requirement!!

Hope this answers your question.

Congrats to all the winners!! :thumbsup Literally!

Good move from all ways. Nice

Oops...sorry Greg.....your answer was way better than mine anyway ;)

Sounds great. Congrats to all parties involved.

Congrats to both of you..perfect marriage



Mr. Romance

We use ES and Host with NatNet. We are very excited to here about this.

I expect great things congrats

Congrats Brad and Tony! Best of luck with the partnership, I am sure this will be excellent for both company's clients.

:)

Cheers,

Brad

Congrats Tony and Brad....

We've been using ES now for over a year and have had great success with it... Having Nat Net added to the mix for support is a home run for everyone concerned.

Besides, now we can say we're working together again Sweet T :thumbsup :thumbsup

Congrats to both National-Net and Shaw Internet. This is great news for all current and future customers of ES knowing that they have two industry leaders behind this program.

BTW

Greg could you put a good word in with Tony and Brad to include my new small start up billing company called CCbill.com. We only have a couple of customers so far and one of the 2 might want to use your product:) If not I totally understand and will try to get a meeting with Tony when we get more customers.

Congrats Tony and Brad.

This should do well for sales, etc.

People know that Natnet is stable, secure and can be trusted....

Congrats Tony and Brad, much success in the future:thumbsup :thumbsup

Ron thanks for the kind words! That sounds like something we all need to set up a meeting to go over. In Vegas maybe? Of course ES supports CCBILL, but I am sure if we met we could add some more features!

Congrats Tony and Brad :thumbsup :thumbsup

why would the company have access to client's DB?

very nice congrats Tony

any host with a managed solution would most likely have core access to the server .. no?? We feel that a program owner feel better with a neutral hosting company doing the service tickets on that system...

if there was a problem with a stats display or a cron job failed to bring in data from a processor.. a ticket could be submitted thru ES/natnet... at which time those tables could be rebuilt... by the neutral ES tech team.

Hi Soul Rebel,

IF the Executive Stats program is hosted at NationalNet, we support the databases. We back up the databases. Any host with root access has access to databases they host.

The point that Greg was trying to make in his initial post is that because of the customers we host, NationalNet has more trade secrets than Area 51 :) and we guard those secrets VERY well. Anybody that knows anything about us is aware that we can be implicitly trusted.

-- Bill

Congrats, sounds like a great strategic partnership :)

Thanks guys. I understand this is part of providing a more reliable service to your clients since DBs are the actual core of most online application. Wasn't easy to structure the question without sounding like a dick, but honestly wasn't focused on Nat Net and was a more general concern; that's why I used the term company. I believe from the moment an online service provider can exclude themselves from having access to client's data should offer it as an option.

very nice to hear, good luck :)

CongratZ ... Tony and Brad.

Does anyone even use that software?

who is national net?

please tell me you are joking

Wow you still in the same industry FHM LOL!?

DH

Great point.

Not at all. I couldn't name one company that use their stats, except for SIC Cash and other business partners of JBM. What is their market share compared to...?

NATS
MPA3
Executive Stats?

we've got a good handful solid clients:

naughtyamerica
girlsgonewild
nichewealth
nichebucks
pornopushers
capitalbucks
siccash
rainbowrevenue
makefuckingmoney
alladultcash --vivid
voyeurdormcash

off the top of my head.. we first branded ourselves with the ability to buy a full open source code so that a program could modify/customize as they needed so that they could give themselves that competitive edge over their competition.. it also allowed them to keep their data confidential...

We never pushed ES as much as I would have liked, because I wanted to ensure we could support the product at a very high level. With the recent improvements to the software itself, as well as teaming up with NAT NET, ES is ready to take off and provide top quality support.

Some little company in some southern podunk state.

Congrats, guys :)

Great products and great people!
Congrats.

congrats on the deal!

Fuck that...terrible move by natnet. No programs are going to chose you based on this deal. Most should back away.

Brad got tired of spending the money to support his filipino coded program and handed it off to you to do the dirty work and babysit. Being associated with a program in a way, that marketing it becomes profitable to you, makes people think twice about your integrity. Would you recommend nats or mpa3 over executive stats now...will you give those clients the same support? This is not good. I always thought natnet was the pillar. Not now. Hosting companies shouldn't make "deals" that can affect their bottom line based on what peripheral software/program someone chooses.

You're answers to my questions will be yes, but the questions will always be there in the back of people's minds.

This makes natnet look very bad. Not a slam, simply the reality.

wow.. some pretty big accusations..
first we've never hired any Philipino programmers to do any code work.. the main code was done in Vancouver Canada.. secondly.. alliances work well in ways that some don't think about.. MPA3 recently hooked up with Paycom.. should that make us move away from Paycom??? not at all.. I see it as a new division that paycom can offer its new programs.. as Nat Net can now offer another product to its clients besides just hosting... and no.. Nat Net would never put any customer back b/c they use another product.. nor would we expect them to.. but thank you for bringing up some other points :)
