PHILADELPHIA,

Inc., one of the world's leading Web-hosting and domain-name
registration companies, today announced the availability
of a series of Microsoft-based, Web-hosting products.
As with 1&1's existing offers, these new hosting
packages start at $4.99 per month and offer small to
medium-sized businesses a full range of Internet solutions

in-house IT operations.

packages running a website for smaller companies becomes
easier than ever for a fraction of the cost," said

opportunity to access critical IT business tools while
removing the need for them to worry about capital costs,
staff, training, development or upgrades - for a small
monthly fee, we take away the hassle."
