July 24, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider Intermedia (intermedia.net) announced on Monday it is now offering blogging software WordPress to its Web hosting customers as a free monthly service.

“Blogging creates an interactive and consistently updated Web environment that lets businesses draw existing and prospective customers back to their site repeatedly,” says Serguei Sofinski, CEO of Intermedia. “Through the free WordPress software, our customers can now create a page on their existing domain that will grant endless opportunity to relay business messages in new and interesting ways.”
WordPress is fully compliant with W3C standards, and allow blogs to be aesthetically mirrored to the existing company Web site. WordPress also supports all of the features of professional blogs including trackbacks, multiple authors, auto-correct typography and dynamic generation from style sheets. Users have the option of password-protection to control comments to their blog postings.
