Florida based web hosting solutions provider The Launch Pad has released SMB livehost™, a core group of unique managed web hosting products designed for the small business market.

"In-house web site hosting is an expensive, management-intensive proposition for smaller businesses and organizations. These organizations often end up in the hands of budget hosting companies unable to provide them with the level of service or planning needed to create and maintain a successful web presence," says Launch Pad founder and President, Ilene Rosoff. "We looked at the demands of the fast-growing small business market and listened carefully to our customers. The result was a redesign of our web services portfolio and the creation of a core group of feature-rich managed hosting packages in the three major web hosting spaces; shared hosting, virtual private servers and dedicated server products. Coupled with our new WebPacs™, which can be paired with any plan, we can now offer small business customers a quality turnkey web solution at a set price point they can budget for.

The Launch Pad's new SMB livehost™ series, available in both Windows and Linux platforms, includes a comprehensive new suite of web hosting options, tools and free-add-ons. The new small business web hosting services line is designed to simplify web management and bridge the web technology gap often faced by smaller organizations so they can take full advantage of the web's potential. To enhance its small business web services offerings, The Launch Pad is introducing SMB WebPacs™, the first set of fixed-priced small business web design and development packages to be offered by the long-time provider of custom website solutions. New web service highlights include:

• SMB livehost™ small business web hosting plan series, a set of 21 new managed web hosting plans in both Windows and Linux platforms designed to address a variety of web hosting needs. Plans include shared hosting, VPS (virtual private server) and dedicated server options and offer many new features such as customized control panels, Urchin 5.0 for web analytics, EasySite site builder and ShopSite for ecommerce solutions.
• New SMB livehost™ web hosting plans improve on previous offerings with across the board price reductions, elimination of setup fees, increased space and a free domain with each new plan. A redesigned online order wizard for easy signup completes the package.
