Reseller Program

The SoftLayer Reseller Program provides qualified hosting resellers with exceptional benefits as well as confidence that they are delivering their end customers a service with the highest performance and reliability. With SoftLayer, "value-adding" hosting resellers can better fulfill their end customer's needs and grow their own services on demand.

The program gives resellers non-exclusive rights to offer standard SoftLayer services as well as products not sold directly under the SoftLayer name brand. Resellers receive generous volume discounts on dedicated server and upgrade purchases, setup fees and more. Resellers also receive preferred services, including a customized customer portal and auto-provisioned server delivery within 2 to 4 hours on components in stock.

Reseller Discounts

Resellers must price servers at or above SoftLayer's current online pricing. Reseller discounts do not apply to SoftLayer weekly specials or sales pricing. We reserve the right to reject non-qualified reseller applications.
