Smartyhost's $144 flat rate deal for 150MB web site, free site management software and domain registration cannot be beaten in Australia
Web hosting innovator Smartyhost today announced a unique web hosting bundle in time for the Christmas period. For only $144, the bundle includes free hosting of up to 150MB of web space, free site management software and most important of all, free domain registering which can cost as much again. The deal is perfect for those looking for that unique voucher present for friend, spouse or business partner.
The industry-beating package will provide everything someone needs to have a powerful website short only of the content itself. The astounding 150MB is above and beyond the industry standard and provides adequate capacity for even the largest of e-commerce-ready sites. The package can amply supply the online support for either a business-driving presence, e-shop, global publication or even just a communication of someone's favourite hobby.
"This year is widely trumpeted as a 'digital' Christmas," said Anoosh Manzori, Smartyhost managing director. "With many people buying digital still and video cameras as presents, this web site bundle will provide everything you need to publish all your photography for friends and family.
Alternatively, if your new year's resolution is to 'go-it-alone' and set up a business, this package is all you need to get a powerful online presence."
The utterly flat pricing structure - which contains no hidden fees and works out at only $12 per month - will help anyone previously shy of the web to finally go online. For many people, unpredictable charges and non-scalable packages are a concern for restricted budgets. The completely visible pricing structure means anyone can plan their web costs across a whole year, with data transfer needs of 20GB a month and disk space of 150MB both likely to be more than adequate for most needs.
With free domain registration thrown in - for which some providers charge upwards of $130 for 2 years - this becomes an extra generous bargain making this bundle truly industry-beating. The offer terminates on the 15th January 2004.
Including 150 email addresses, free SSL e-commerce encryption, free search engine submission, full time online customer support, no set up fee and no service charges, the pricing model puts the web hosting industry on notice that the days of 'rip off' charges are nearing an end. The package also includes free website measurement using Urchin.com - unique to Smartyhost.
Not only is Smartyhost easily manageable through the self-service 'Control Panel' feature, but full-time, online support means there's always help available at no extra cost.
The Adelaide-based hosting service has been operating since 1999 and already has customers in over 15 countries, not only because of the very cost-effective and easy-to-manage pricing model, but because of Smartyhost's commitment to providing a high level of customer service with advanced technology. The self- service model is designed to be immediately intuitive, built around a 'Control Panel' management structure that allows users to easily manage their own sites. The package includes an industry-leading allowance of 20GB of data transfer per month and is built on a robust, Linux-based back-end.
