Easyspace, one of the largest web hosting and domain name providers in the UK, is now offering the popular .TEL domain extension during its General Availability launch stage.Having just complete its Sunrise and Landrush launch periods, the .TEL has proven to be a highly sought after extension, generating several thousand sales despite the premium price attached to it during those phases.The .Tel domain name Landrush period closed (and general availability opened) at 11.59pm, Monday 23rd March. As part of the transition, pricing and registration restrictions have changed, with the cost dropping to just £12.50 and minimum registration term dropping to just 1 year. Extended registrations are available up to 10 years.The .Tel is a new Top Level Domain (TLD) which enables individuals and businesses to store, updated and publish all contact details, web links and keywords directly on the internet under one unique .Tel domain name. The .Tel extension offers an integrated solution for all communication listings giving unlimited control over how and when users are contacted.Easyspace.com is one of only a handful of UK based domain name registrars who offered the .Tel domain name during its Landrush period, and is one of only a handful to offer it during General Availability.

“The .Tel extension received a massive response during its Landrush launch period despite the premium price attached to it.

AvaHost.Net Upgrades Reseller Web Hosting Plans

This spring, the new growth on local flora, brings with it a new promise from AvaHost. That widely recognized web hosting company has offered to upgrade each of its Reseller hosting plans. That means that anyone using Avahost to start a web hosting business could possibly remain free of his or her biggest expenditure.

Since its founding in 2001, AvaHost has been giving its clients attractive “packages.” The new package increases the appeal of the AvaHost reseller hosting plans. Each new package gives a client a monthly traffic allowance that is two times the size that AvaHost provided earlier, before offering any type of upgrade.

In addition, each new AvaHost Reseller upgrade will include an increase in the amount of disk space that is to be made available to the client. Moreover, each AvaHost client will have an opportunity to renew his or her contract, a contract that calls for regular payments of only $15.95 per month.

AvaHost knows that each of its clients expects that payment of the monthly fee will provide any one client with top notch web hosting services. So AvaHost has promised some free software to each online company that invests in AvaHost’s Reseller upgrade. That company will receive both an Online Web Site Builder and a 1-Click Auto Installer. Armed with such equipment, the same company should be able to install 50 of the most popular, the most “in demand,” open source software.

That offer of free software comes on top of great guarantees, guarantees that are already mentioned on the AvaHost website. AvaHost now gives each of its clients a 60 day guarantee. An unhappy AvaHost customer can expect to receive back any money that he or she spent for web hosting services within a 60 day starting period. (Minus the cost of a domain name registration).

This eight year old web hosting company has a long list of happy clients. The owner of the website dishsatellite.com used the web hosting services provided by AvaHost. That client made this remark about those services: “They took the time to answer my questions and have provided great service for this last year.”

Next year AvaHost is certain to post a similar testimonial from someone who has invested in one of its new Reseller upgrades.

UK SMEs Sell Themselves Short On Internet Shopping Bonanza Revealed by BT Tradespace

New research from BT Tradespace indicates that six out of 10 small businesses are missing out on their share of a £20 billion-a-year* web shopping boom because they are not selling their products and services online.

The new Voice of Small Business report from BT Tradespace shows that 67% have little faith they can find customers on the internet, even though more than two thirds (69%) shop online at least once a month.

The survey found that the number of SMEs with a website rose by 20% between 2007 and 2008. However, just 13% of small businesses consider websites integral to marketing strategy and only three per cent use their site to communicate with consumers.

Mick Hegarty, head of bttradespace.com, said: “Small companies can benefit greatly by exploiting the marketing and sales opportunities afforded by the internet.

“During these challenging times, more people than ever are using the web to shop because of the choice, convenience and cost savings it provides. A professional and credible online presence can open up a world of opportunities and provides a great platform to engage with customers.”

The Voice of Small Business report, commissioned to discover how SMEs can best communicate and conduct business in the current economic climate, found that 92% are aware of blogging but just 18% use it for business purposes.

The research also found that the smallest companies (up to five employees) were least likely to interact with other local businesses with 47% admitting to not knowing the companies in their area.

Hegarty said: “The internet opens up a global marketplace for SMEs helping them to compete and prosper.”

“Free business social networking websites and social media tools like blogging and podcasting can transform a company’s fortunes at the click of a button.

“Entrepreneurs can showcase goods, enhance their online marketing profiles, maintain an ongoing dialogue with customers, and share information and expertise with like-minded companies.”

* Verdict Research estimates that in 2008 online spending by consumers on retail purchases rose by a substantial 32% to £19.4bn. With Internet access growing and users purchasing more frequently and more heavily online, this strong growth is set to continue, albeit at a more subdued rate. By 2012, online retail is set to reach £42.4 billion, 12.4% of total online spending.

Rackspace survey releases businesses struggling to understand the cloud

A new survey released by Rackspace has revealed that businesses are in danger of missing out on the cloud revolution because they don’t understand the concept. The findings show that more than half of UK (57%) and US (58%) businesses are unaware of the term cloud hosting.

Organisations’ varied responses when asked to define cloud hosting highlights the current confusion. Most UK businesses (43%) defined it as ‘remote and multiple servers accessed via the internet’. In the US this was also the most popular answer (29%). UK respondents also believed cloud hosting was ‘applications via the internet’ (31%), ‘virtualisation’ (14%) and ‘online storage’ (8%), with a similar pattern being found in the US. However 27% of UK businesses ‘don’t know how they would use cloud hosting as part of their IT mix’. A third of US businesses (33%) agreed with this statement.

Lew Moorman, chief strategy officer, Rackspace Hosting, said: “Cloud technology is ideal for the current economic climate, but it is vital that businesses understand how it can best serve their organisation. At Rackspace we want to provide clearer guidelines on how they can get the most out of this technology as a matter of urgency. That is why we are launching a new cloud clinic web site.”

“Cloud is going to be the hot business topic for 2009 and it is not just IT folk that will need to understand the benefits it brings but people across the business,” added Lew.

Despite the confusion over the definition of cloud hosting, 36% of businesses in the UK and 48% in the US are ‘planning or considering using it’. Reasons for not adopting the cloud in the UK were cited as: cost (25%); ‘untested, new technology’ (14%) and reliability (15%). In the US businesses are twice (20%) as concerned about security and compliance as they are in the UK (10%).

Other key findings from the research included: 15% of UK businesses would use cloud hosting as part of their IT mix for ‘extra servers/to boost processing and distribute workload’; 11% for data back up and 8% for application hosting.

Rackspace has set up a cloud clinic to help demystify the cloud by providing a range of cloud materials and case studies.

PC Net & 85 Under announce the launch of their new brand identities to more effectively communicate their breadth of IT and data security services to the marketplace

PC Net & 85 Under announce the launch of their new brand identities to more effectively communicate their breadth of IT and data security services to the marketplace.

“We’ve been in business for over 20 years in the Springfield market,” said Greg Clift, owner of PC Net/85 Under. “We attribute this success to the fact that we’re always innovating and expanding our services to stay ahead of our customers’ growing needs.”

Because the PC Net and 85 Under companies have a symbiotic relationship, the branded identities needed to family. The result is a clean, powerful branding and icon structure that quickly and easily communicates a comprehensive array of services. “Some clients know us for IT, some as a data center, but not everyone sees the whole picture,” said Clift.

This was an important connection to make with customers since organic growth is important to their company prosperity. For example, a small start-up business may first establish a relationship with PC Net. “We’ll help new businesses solve connectivity, networking and systems,” said Clift. As the company grows, they may tap PC Net’s Pulse IT Management Services to help them manage their growing IT needs. And as they become even larger, the company will need a data center solution to service their back-up and collocation needs. Customers need to know that they can grow without having to deal with multiple IT and data security partners.

To deliver the new image with clarity and impact Clift identified all key branding touch points, from technician apparel and company vehicles to their web site, collateral and presentation materials. An icon language was designed and incorporated to not only reinforce the visual identity but to facilitate site navigation. The new http://www.pcnetinc.net and http://www.85under.com web sites were designed with a content management back-end to facilitate communication between technicians and clients as well as between management and technicians.

The result is a powerful branding system that clearly communicates all that PC Net and 85 Under can offer clients.

PC Net, Inc. has been providing best-in-class IT services to the Springfield community for more than 20 years. The company’s new Pulse IT Management offers growing businesses a cost-effective yet highly responsive way to outsource IT services that feel like they’re in-house. Located in Springfield Underground, 85 Under is a state-of-the-art data center offering data security, backups and collocation services to businesses throughout the country.
