PEER 1 Hosting looks to enhance its relationship with the IT channel with the launch of a partner directory designed to connect customers with service providers. Here’s the scoop.

The PEER 1 Hosting Partner directory, as the company’s press release refers to it, is open to Silver, Gold, and Platinum level partners. Customers can search the database by geographic region and skill set. PEER 1’s Sales and Support teams might use this tool as well to offer direct sales customers end-to-end solutions, by way of partnerships.

The company gives a lot of lip service to enhancing relationships with the channel this year: PEER 1 launched a partner portal earlier this year, and the new partner directory comes along with news that they’re going to start highlighting partners who visit the site.

While this move isn’t going to shake the channel to its foundations, it does show a major player in the hosting industry taking the time out to give their partners the chance to shine.
