Company offers latest hosting range at half price for 12 months.
Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a web hosting provider, today revealed enhancements to its shared web hosting which results in greatly scaled-up packages across the range. From today, key technical allowances, databases and applications as well as the email platform provided have all been enhanced. Whilst web hosts will frequently adjust their quotas, the company has implemented high-value upgrades specifically designed for businesses and IT professionals to optimize elements that will deliver most impact to their online success.
It claims that as the use of hosted solutions by UK firms continues to grow apace, the company has launched a scaled-up shared web hosting range intended to make a real difference to the effectiveness of the web for business users. It has increased web space by up to four times the amount in order to better enable firms to upload additional content to their websites and create a richer online experience. The introduction of unlimited web space to the flagship Business Premium package means that larger scale web projects can grow without any limitation.
The company articulates that for businesses and professional users alike, MySQL databases have also been identified and scaled-up as a key feature. MySQL databases allow a user to store and search data held within tables (such as product specs, customers, orders, blogs etc). With access to an increased number of inclusive databases, the company's customers are able to hold large amounts of data for multiple websites. A significant boost in FTP accounts allows all types of website owner the ability to effectively upload material to many more web pages across their web space.
It explains that the issue of online visibility is an everyday challenge for all website owners from professional web designers to personal bloggers. A study this year of nearly 500 small firms commissioned by the company found that 1 in 3 small businesses are stressed by their online visibility. However, a remarkable 41 per cent of firms are currently unable to optimize their positions within search engines. From a professional perspective, a further study of 300 web designers revealed that dissatisfaction with search engine positions is the biggest pain-point for their small business customers, with 49 per cent of web design firms receiving related complaints. With this in mind, the company has added its latest TrafficDriver SEO tool to the majority of its hosting packages. TrafficDriver SEO enhances online visibility by submitting a business website to hundreds of search engines worldwide and effectively managing meta tags and monthly submissions. The solution also generates detailed monthly reports that can provide excellent insights when defining an online marketing strategy.
The company further explains that a critical issue for businesses is the effective use of email communication. It has enhanced the inclusive email platform for its hosting customers. Microsoft Exchange 2010 is now standard on all packages, and delivers the very latest functionality for email and can improve productivity with shared calendars, tasks and contacts accessible from any computer. With the use of an efficient mobile email system, firms are better placed to raise efficiencies and provide better response times for handling customer inquiries.
According to it, its new scaled-up 2011 range of Personal Hosting packages comprises of the Standard package (15 GB web space), which is currently half price for 12 months from GBP 2.49/month+VAT, and the Premium package (100 GB web space) currently priced from GBP 4.49/month+VAT. From today, the Personal Standard package features 1 MySQL database, 5 FTP accounts, MS Exchange 2010 email and free SiteBuilder tool. The Personal Premium package now offers 1 free .UK domain, 50 FTP accounts, 25 page SiteBuilder, MS Exchange 2010 email and TrafficDriver SEO. The company's new Business Hosting packages, also currently half price for 12 months, are the Business Standard package (now 100 GB), priced from GBP 4.49/month+VAT, and Business Premium package (unlimited web space), priced from GBP 7.99/month+VAT. As well as 50 FTP accounts and TrafficDriver, the Business Standard also benefits from GBP 105 of Google Ad Vouchers.
The company states that the new flagship Business Premium offers advanced functionality and robust performance ideal for the web professional. The package now offers the freedom of unlimited web space and FTP accounts, up to 10 MySQL databases and TrafficDriver SEO High - an advanced version which guarantees a Google listing for 12 months and submission to 400 search engines. The package also features Load Balancing - which shares visitors over multiple web servers to maximize the uptime and speed of a website. All hosting solutions offered by the company are available in either Linux or Windows configurations at no additional cost, and feature free set-up, unlimited bandwidth, 24/7 customer support and virus and spam protection for email.
Stephen Holford, Marketing Director, Fasthosts Internet, said, "Our new scaled-up shared hosting range shows our approach to encouraging business users to leverage the best hosted technologies available to them. By providing them with more resources, Fasthosts aims to support firms in constantly evolving their online activities.
