A team that gets there first.
Hosting built for tech agencies who expect more than a place in line. A team of specialists who go deep to uncover and resolve issues before they ever surface.
Recurring commission on every client environment you refer.
No rotating technicians. Continuity is the model, not a promise.
Our own UK-sovereign private cloud — a jurisdiction fact your client’s procurement can verify.
Pre-cleared for financial and insurance-sector procurement.
Why agencies are upgrading
Running a modern digital agency means client demands, technical debt, and increasingly complex infrastructure all landing on a team that’s already stretched.
Generalist help doesn’t solve that: another rotating engineer who doesn’t know your stack just adds one more handover. What agencies need is a team that already fits together — one that treats your infrastructure as its own, not another ticket in a queue.
Why partners choose us
Revenue, not overhead
We turn infrastructure from a cost centre into a profit centre. You earn a recurring, competitive revenue share on every client environment you bring us, across three tiers — from a simple referral fee to full senior-team access for joint pitches.
The same team, every time
We hire for curiosity, not just technical skill. The same senior engineer your client’s contact already knows is the one who picks up next time — not a different name on every ticket. It’s how we’ve worked since 2002, built on the idea of software craftsmanship: mastery and care, not assembly-line delivery.
Two risks, already closed
The US CLOUD Act gives the US government power to access UK data hosted on US-owned servers, often without the UK business ever knowing. We close that risk with complete data repatriation onto our own UK-based private cloud. We also hold ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, both independently audited, and we’re FSQS-registered — the due-diligence gate financial and insurance procurement teams require before they’ll even open a pitch.
What partnership actually pays
Refer a client onto a typical hosting and support package, and here’s what that looks like in year one.
| Service | Rate | Partner earns / month |
|---|---|---|
| Managed Hosting | 10% | £200 |
| Managed Services | 10% | £80 |
| Software Resale | 5% | £15 |
| Recurring monthly total | £295 |
That’s £3,500+ recurring in the first year, from a single client — for the length of the initial contract term.
Not every service carries commission — public cloud resale (AWS/Azure/GCP), domain registration, and onboarding fees are 0% for the initial term, reflecting the thin margins on those pass-through costs. See the full commission structure →
Calculate your own partnership earnings
Three quick inputs — see what partnership could realistically add to your bottom line.
What it costs to do this yourself
Running 24/7 infrastructure monitoring and support in-house means more than one hire — before accounting for hiring risk, staff turnover, and the tooling and certification upkeep needed just to stay current.
With Digital Craftsmen, that entire layer is already built — named engineers, enterprise-grade tooling, and live compliance credentials — for a fraction of the cost of building it yourself. And it doesn’t stop at cost avoidance: every client you place with us turns that same layer from a drain into recurring commission.
| 24/7 coverage (shift rotation, min. 3–4 engineers) | £150k–£200k |
| Security tooling (RMM, patching, vulnerability scanning) | £15k–£30k |
| Compliance overhead (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus) | £10k–£20k+ |
| Total before a single client ticket is answered | £175k–£250k+/yr |

Frequently asked
How does the commission work?
You earn a recurring share of revenue on every client environment you bring us. The exact structure depends on your tier — Referral, Managed Co-Host, or Strategic Compliance Partner.
Is the hosting UK-based?
Yes. We run our own UK-based private cloud, so data stays under UK jurisdiction and outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act.
Will this affect our relationship with our client?
No. You remain the primary relationship. We work under your brand where needed and never contact your clients directly without your involvement, unless you’d rather we did.
What if it doesn’t work out?
[Confirm your actual exit/notice terms here — a clear, upfront answer is one of the strongest trust signals you can give.]
Can I move up a tier later?
Yes — it’s a conversation, not a fresh negotiation.
