February 13, 2002 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — WHP Inc., a provider of Internet access, Web hosting and e-commerce applications has announced the launch of Web Hosting Products, a
r
new Web hosting service designed to provide Web hosting services to small
r
and medium-sized businesses.
r
r
The launch of Web Hosting Products at getwhp.com provides affordable shared and dedicated packages to the small and medium-sized and home-based business
r
community, the company said today. Of the Web hosting packages, Starter
r
represents the most affordable package available. For as little as $5.95 per
r
month, small businesses and individuals looking to get started with a domain
r
and a few Web pages can have 25 MB disk space, 3 GB of Web traffic,
r
unlimited email, a control panel and numerous other features. Other Unix Web
r
hosting packages include Starter, Express, and the Deluxe, which allow the
r
business customer to expand as their needs grow. Included in the packaged
r
services are other features such as email accounts, SSL, shopping cart and a
r
wide array of pre-installed CGI scripts and more.
r
r
WHP Inc. is best known for its technical support and personal service, which
r
is also included as part of the Web hosting packages. Customers are given
r
several options for contacting technical support: a toll free number, or
r
web-based support through chat and online maintenance ticketing system.
r
r
Cost comparisons of a leading Web hosting company show WHP Inc.’s medium
r
priced package costs $49.00 compared to $75.00 a month through a leading
r
competitor. The same example is used to compare features, which show that
r
WHP Inc.’s package comes with 800MB of disk space and unlimited email
r
accounts. A leading competitor’s package comes with 500MB of disk space and
r
50 email accounts. In another example, WHP Inc.’s dedicated Web hosting
r
plans start at $129.00 (40GB disk space and 50GB traffic) where a leading
r
competitor’s offerings start at $289.00 a month for a similar package.
