July 28, 2006; 06:46 AM
In a move that will undoubtedly generate more competition in the North American Web Hosting industry, 1&1 Internet, Inc., a subsidiary of United Internet, today announced that it is offering 25 percent off on all Linux and Microsoft shared hosting packages for one year. This offer is good from July 31 until September 30, 2006.

1&1 offers four state-of-the-art shared hosting packages: Beginner for the novice Web site builder; Home ideally suited for families or individuals with hobbies; Business for small and medium size businesses and: Developer for the professional that designs and hosts clients. As a price example, the company’s Home package will be only $45 for one year with no extra costs for up to two personal domains applying. The Business package includes three domains for only $90 for a full year term, compared to other hosting companies that charge up to $200 for a comparable product.

“This is a tremendous offer especially for a small or medium sized business,” said Andreas Gauger, Chairman 1&1. “So many businesses think that they can’t afford a world-class Web site. We’re here to show them that it’s possible, inexpensive and will enable any business to compete in their marketplace.”

The Business package includes free Adobe software, 2,000 IMAP or POP3 e-mail accounts, three domains, Search Engine Submission and Optimization (this gets businesses a higher ranking on Google), RSS feed creator, 100 GB of Web space, In2site Live Dialogue as well as a 90-day money back guarantee. Competitors like Yahoo or GoDaddy charge extra for these items or don’t offer them at all.

This discount is only valid for the first year. Beginning with the 2nd year of subscription the normal fee will be charged. This offer is available for new orders and upgrades.
