Interland
Launches New, Shared-Hosting Platform, Improved Web
Site, Advanced Marketing Tools All To Help Businesses
Succeed Online [May 3, 2004]
ATLANTA,
May 3, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interland (INLD) , a
leading provider of Web hosting and online services
for small and medium-sized businesses, today launched
its new Web site (www.interland.com) and with it a new,
shared-hosting platform offering new industry standards
in security, performance and value. Interland is also
leveraging new, easy online tools to get customer accounts
up and running quicker. In addition, new Interland shared-hosting
customers now have access to a suite of online marketing
options to help them drive leads and increase sales,
and greater access to complete site building tools.
Fueled by customer input, Interland's
new, shared-hosting platform is based on simplified,
customizable plans starting at $7.95 a month when customers
agree to 24 months of hosting. Interland's shared-hosting
platform is powered by the latest technology, including
Microsoft .NET 1.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 3 and
Miva Merchant v. 4.22.
The hosting plans are available through
the new Interland Web site, which now includes express
checkout and Interland's new Welcome Center - Account
Setup Wizard v. 1.0. Both additions make it easier and
faster to purchase, set-up and administer new accounts.
In addition, customers have the option
of purchasing the following value-priced add-on features
with every Interland shared-hosting plan:
-- Search Engine Optimization tools
to create Meta tags, submit
sites to search engines and continuously prime site
submissions,
-- E-mail marketing applications to
create and send professional
e-newsletters, manage subscribers and track results
all from
one easy-to-use browser-based interface, and
-- E-commerce tools, which enable users
at any expertise level to
easily build catalogs, manage products and process credit
card
purchases.
Earlier this year Interland was named the market leader
for shared hosting by Frost & Sullivan and Interland's
Glenn Hofmann, vice president of shared hosting, points
to today's announcement as an example of how the company
continually demonstrates an ability to identify and
quickly address changing market dynamics.
"We are seeing a tremendous shift
in today's shared-hosting environment toward solutions
combining the best in technology, applications and services,"
said Hofmann. "That new model in shared hosting
is here, and it is far more than just storage space
for a Web site. It gives a business the ability to package
together the right mixture of technology, applications
and services in a way that provides real business value
such as driving leads and increasing sales. That is
what Interland has brought to market."
Interland offers three shared-hosting
plans that are each highly customizable. The Value Plan
is ideal for individuals and small businesses with basic
Web site needs and includes e-mail, Spam and anti-virus
software and weekly back-ups. The Business Plan is constructed
with growing Web sites in mind. It includes database
support, marketing and promotion services, and supports
advanced applications such as Microsoft SQL and Microsoft.
Net. The Advanced Plan is for Web professionals running
highly functional, complex sites, and it includes 1
GB of storage, 100 GB data transfer, Telnet and shell
access, built-in support for programming languages such
as Perl, PHP and Python, and 50 MB of RealMedia 8 server
space.
As a true partner for small and medium-sized
businesses, Interland consistently offers its customers
the tools and services they need to grow their online
business. More information about Interland's new shared
hosting solutions, add-on features and promotional pricing
