How the GolfInvestors Hosting Program Works
The GolfInvestors Hosting Program is a variant of an ASP (application service provider) model. The GolfInvestors technology is installed and runs on the GolfInvestors servers so you do not have to install any software on your site or server. Nor do you need to manage the content or the markets. You manage just your GolfInvestors site usage, formatting, ad inventory, and sponsorship inventory. After you setup a GolfInvestors Hosting account you will be able to access the administration module to monitor all the information via a web-based user interface.
Once your account has been approved you can easily integrate your GolfInvestors site into your current web site. Your users coming in from your GolfInvestors site trade with other users coming in from other GolfInvestors private labeled sites. The more traders, the more liquid the stock markets, the more interesting the trading on the markets become.
The GolfInvestors Hosting private label program is like GolfInvestors is the manager of the NASDAQ stock exchange where GolfInvestor administrators monitor the trading activity. Then GolfInvestors provides hooks into the stock markets to grant you a seat on the stock market trading floor so you and your clients can trade on the GolfInvestor stock markets. With this seat on the stock market trading floor, your GolfInvestors private label hosting site would then act like an online stock broker (i.e. E*TRADE, Charles Schwab, etc.) by giving access to your users to trade on the GolfInvestor stock markets from your site.

The above images depict the difference of the NASDAQ technology setup versus the GolfInvestors technology setup in terms of online broker sites. In the GolfInvestors technology infrastructure, no software is required to be installed on any of the private label servers. Nor is additional hardware needed to be purchased. Instead, the GolfInvestors servers handle all of the trading activity for all the different private label hosting sites.
