Valued Affiliate,

1&1 will be updating its commission structure/payouts this month (August 2007). As we continue to expand and increase our focus on web hosting (we are now #5 in the U.S.), we are happy to announce that we are increasing EIGHT hosting plan commissions "big-time" to award you for continued strong hosting sales. However, we have decided to eliminate the very small ($2.50) commission on the Instant Domain Package*.
