Hostway Slashes the Domain Name Registration Pricing

Chicago—April 3, 2002—Starting April 3, Hostway is lowering the domain name registration pricing for com, net, and org domain names. Now, 2-year registration for any domain name ending in these domain extensions is only $52.30. That's savings over 25% from before and other major domain name registrars.

One of the first steps in getting your business online is to secure your own domain name. Then, you need to open up a Web hosting account to house your Web site and email system. Hostway has simplified the entire process by combining the domain name registration with Web hosting account into one simple step.

In keeping with the tradition of delivering the best value to the customers, Hostway is proactively lowering the domain name registration pricing. With Hostway's already great prices on Web hosting, customers signing up with Hostway can enjoy the reduced prices on domain name registration as well.

Many businesses have already registered domain names and signed up Web hosting accounts.

More importantly, many are still registering new domain names and launching their sites with Hostway every day. John Lee of Hostway said, "Throughout last year, we were approached by industry analysts and journalists if we are seeing any slow down in the hosting business. The truth of the matter is that we didn't see nor are we seeing any slow down in the business. In fact, more businesses are registering new domain names and signing up for hosting accounts with Hostway. There are a lot of mature small and medium size businesses out there that finally realize that, despite the hype that surrounded the web, putting your business on the Web is no longer an option but a must-have."

Consistently picked as the top Web hosting providers by the hosting indices, Hostway enjoys one of the best reputations in the industry as well as with the hosting customers around the world. Such well-known businesses as HP, Toshiba, and Motorola have picked Hostway to host some of their sites. However, Hostway's focus is delivering the best value in Web hosting to the small to medium size businesses.

Hostway's decision to lower the domain name registration pricing for com, net, and org extensions is the latest example of such an effort.
