(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — As part of its strategy to deliver advanced online marketing technology at no added cost to clients, Hostway Corporation (www.hostway.com) will begin rolling out new technology next month that will let its 1.5 million retail and channel customers automatically submit each page of their website directly to major search engines.
According to its Thursday announcement, Hostway will be the first major web host to integrate AutomaticSiteMap’s (www.automaticsitemap.com) new direct XML Sitemap submission technology into its hosting offerings. This partnership will provide every Hostway customer with AutomaticSiteMap’s basic service level — worth $60 per year — at no cost.
AutomaticSiteMap ensures that Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask.com have up-to-date, page-by-page information about every Hostway customers’ site without waiting for the search engines to find the content among millions of sites on the web. This submission process is, in fact, now recommended by all major search engines. Hostway customers can manage their AutomaticSiteMap service from within their usual web hosting control panel.
“This is the only system we found that can handle website submission on a massive scale to boost search engine rankings for all our customers,” Hostway small business hosting senior vice president John Lee said in a statement. “AutomaticSiteMap is an exact fit with the other technologies and services we provide to help our customers make more money online. AutomaticSiteMap’s turnkey system is directly integrated into our control panel and automatically delivered to our customers so that they can increase search traffic without taking any additional action.”
Before finalizing the partnership, Hostway product managers tested dozens of website submission products and found AutomaticSiteMap worked the best. “This is something all our customers need,” Lee added. “It’s a great addition to our hosting plans and services.”
Founded in June 2009, AutomaticSiteMap has developed server-based search engine optimization technologies that help customers of all sizes increase their search engine visibility and rankings. In an effort to establish its reputation and make new connections within the hosting space, AutomaticSiteMap was a sponsor of the WHIR’s January 21, 2010, web hosting networking event in Los Angeles.
AutomaticSiteMap sells its services directly, and through a reseller channel, giving web hosts, web designers and search industry agencies an opportunity to use these services.
“By making this a standard feature of all web hosting plans, and automatically deploying it across their entire network, Hostway solves a common problem–getting traffic–for all its customers,” AutomaticSiteMap business development vice president Troy McCasland said in a statement. “Since introducing AutomaticSiteMap last year, tens of thousands of sites of all types and sizes have discovered a new and innovative way to get traffic and be more successful.”
