MK Hosting is another web hosting matrix that has recently sprung up and I am sure this won’t be the last.

When they first started out they were a 3×6 forced matrix costing $17.99 per month allowing you to earn a maximum of $1458/mo per position.  Now, however, they have since changed to a 3×8 forced matrix costing $19.99 per month with a maximum potential income of $10,584/mo per position.

This changing in structure and price is something I have seen quite a lot with these programs.  The reason behind it is they are trying to make the program more appealing and or more profitable.  By adding $2 per month to the price and changing the structure to 3×8 they are able to increase the potential income to over $10,000 per month.

Perhaps a program that has as potential of $10,000+ per month income vs $1458 is much more appealing.  But the fact is that it is extremely unlikely that anyone will ever reach the maximum level.  You should never judge a program based on what the potential for income is.  There are many programs out there that have UNLIMITED potential income i.e. you can make millions of dollars per month.  That doesn’t make them better than this.

MK Hosting are offering web hosting as well as an autoresponder.  They started up soon after Teamwork Revolution Power System (TWRPS) which has a very similar product.  Many web hosting matrices are just web hosting.  These 2 have added more value by throwing in an auto responder service as well, which for some is very useful and valuable as auto responders can cost $30/month on their own.

Fact of the matter is many people don’t use or need any of these services and what we have is just another scheme that people join for the opportunity and not the product.

If you already pay for an auto responder and web hosting then this is a great way to possibly reduce your costs and even earn a profit from recommending the service.  However I would also warn you that in the early days these companies tend to have a  lot of teething problems which can be very troublesome.  For example they may change servers for one reason or another which would require a lot of leg work on your part to redirect your omain names and perhaps need you to re-upload your websites etc.  Some people have many websites, so with each change the company makes you have possibly hours of work to do each time this happens.

Unfortunately my first encounter with MK Hosting was a negative one.  I learned about it via an email “from a friend”.  The email however wasn’t written in the style of my friend and I suspected it was a fraudulent email and it turned out I was correct.  Someone with a bit of computer knowledge was able to send me (and many others) emails which appeared to be from people we knew promoting this program.  This marketing tactic I must admit is a great idea.  People build relationships and reputations in this business.  Many people will join a program just because a certain person recommends it. I’m not sure how successful this dodgy marketer was as I was able to clearly see through the scam.

This teaches us a lesson with respect to these programs.  The companies cannot control what the marketers do.  Yes this way of marketing is completely fraudulent and maybe even illegal.  That however doesn’t make the company MK Hosting responsible for his actions.  It’s like trying to hold gun companies responsible for the murders committed using those weapons.

Apart from that there’s no reason to put you off joining this.  If you want to give it a try and believe in it by all means do so, but in my experience these monthly payment web matrices die out quickly and you spend all this time trying to market something that eventually fails.  It’s like bailing water out of a leaky boat.

This is why I like the little Work for $3 program.  It will never regress.  It may possibly come to a stand still but it will never ever go backwards and end up being a loss.  Once it’s in profit it always is in profit.  Not so with this or any other monthly payment program.  They all run the risk of going from profit into loss.

   Hi,

   I agree with much of what you say regarding the affiliate program but my experience of the services of MK Hosting have been very positive so far.

   I switched to them after many years with what is now GVO.

   I needed the email marketing and autoresponder services and they are actually very very good – a demo is available on the company’s website so you can see exactly what is provided, but the features are certainly up there with the best third party AR’s who charge considerably more.

   My contact with the support staff at MK was positive and they rsponded to all my queries very quickly. Once I joined they handled the migration of all my data on a Saturday afternoon and even dealt with the DNS changes on my behalf.

   Early days but no complaints so far and I’m happy knowing that they use the Planet’s datacenters in Texas. Uptime 100% for my first week, and load times better than my last host.

   There is a full write up of my experiences at my hosting directory if anyone wants to learn more, but I hope this helps your readers.

   Maurice
