Free Hosting Industry Targets more Advanced Internet User   - 1,576 Views, 1 Comment

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2005 — Free Web site hosting is no longer just for the novice internet user on a budget. Free hosting companies are now taking on the paid hosting services by offering more advanced features and higher end tools to an audience with more complex needs.

Websiteallies.com founder, Courtney Bernard, saw an opportunity when a growing number of Internet users were looking for more advanced hosting features, but did not want to pay traditional hosting rates.

“Free hosting customers are no longer satisfied with simplistic features such as basic guestbooks, hit counters, file managers and surveys,� explains Doug Lewis of Vantage Internet, who helped launch the new features and design of the Websiteallies.com site. “Users now want the same full feature scripts that the paid hosting customer expects, such as Blogs, Web Site portals, shopping carts, professional photo galleries, customer support ticketing systems and much more.�

“We find that most users don’t want to be limited to using the scripts offered by the regular free hosting companies. Users want full ftp access and the ability to use not only the pre-installed scripts, but also upload their own scripts to their hosting account.� says Lewis.

Websiteallies.com takes the typical free hosting account a step further by allowing customers to use their own domain name, as well as offering complete customer support. The customer support includes a 24 hour live chat, a customer support ticketing system and web forum monitoring.

“We’ve taken free hosting to a new level by even offering our clients total customer support. This is something traditional free hosting companies just don’t do� says Bernard.

As more free hosting companies offer advanced features and comparable customer service to the paid hosting companies, the future of the hosting industry will continue to change.
