Corporation, a global leader in Web hosting and managed services,
today said it has added Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services collaboration
technologies to its hosting services, enabling its customers to easily
create, manage and build their own collaborative Web sites and make
them accessible throughout their organizations.
"Windows SharePoint Services enhances work-team productivity
for small to medium-sized businesses through an easy-to-use, Web-based
collaboration tool," said John Lee, Hostway's VP of marketing.
"With SharePoint Products and Technologies, building and managing
an intranet becomes much easier than ever before."
Hostway offers new clients two Windows SharePoint Services plans,
Standard and Advanced. For up to 35 users, the Standard plan provides
Windows SharePoint Services disk quota of 300MB, 10 GB of traffic,
and 25 email accounts. The Advanced plan, designed for up to 85 users,
offers disk quota of 600MB, 30 GB or traffic and 65 email accounts.
The Standard plan is available for $19.95 per month or $215 per year.
The Advanced plan is available for $39.95 per month or $431 per year.
Current Hostway "Windows Gold" or Linux Web-hosting clients
may add Windows SharePoint Services to their hosting plans at an incremental
monthly charge of $10 for each 20 users and 50MB of disk space. Current
clients of Hostway's premium "Gold Plus" and other premium
Windows Web-hosting plans will enjoy free access to Windows SharePoint
Services.
Windows SharePoint Services, a collection of services for Windows
ServerT 2003, provides tools to share information, collaborate
with other users on documents, and create lists and Web Part pages.
Companies also may use SharePoint products and technologies as a platform
for creating collaboration and information-sharing applications.
With the powerful tools of Windows SharePoint Services, teams can
keep connected and productive, enabling better decisions and stronger
relationships with customers, partners and suppliers. Users can more
efficiently create and review any type of document with built-in document
versioning and check-in and checkout capabilities. Teams may also
distribute business-critical information more securely through password-protected
SharePoint sites rather than relying on email.
Hostway clients also will benefit from SharePoint Products and Technologies
secure and scalable feature set. Its additional features include News
and Topics; My Site, with personal and public views; information targeting
to specific audiences; powerful indexing and searching across file
shares, Web servers, secure Web servers, Exchange Public Folders,
Lotus Notes and SharePoint sites; alerts that notify when changes
are made to relevant information, documents or applications; single
sign-on for enterprise application integration; and integration with
Microsoft BizTalk® Server.
