On this day in 2006 UK hosting provider EasySpace announced that they were launching a new business package for small to mid sized businesses. The package included a free domain name, a 3 page template for building a web site, 10 email accounts antivirus software and email filters for the email accounts internet security software and a blog. Looking at this package today it is obvious that this was not a very robust package for small to mid sized businesses. A small business might be able to get by with only 10 email accounts but in this day and age a mid sized business would be left with too few emails. In addition the blog feature has very little value for a small business unless they were going to heavily market themselves on the internet.
More news included the announcement of UnitedHost, also out of the UK announcing that they had surpassed 10,000 Hosted clients. XO communications, telecommunications provider, announced that they hired Rick Scott as senior vp of network services.
1and1 web hosting provider announced today that they had earned the Gold Certified Status from Microsoft through the Microsoft Web hosting partner provider program. The certification came about as a result of 1and1 displaying their competency in Sharepoint & Exchange solutions.
