Chicago, Illinois, January 06, 2006— Jeffrey Lewis, owner of www.shecentral.net, won $10,000 for his marketing campaign from Hostway Corporation, a leading provider of Web hosting and managed services.

As a business launches a website, it's essential to find innovative ways to reach out to its customers. Hostway is thrilled to help make this process easier for one small business owner.
