Apr, 2003 : ebi Group Releases Hosting Reseller Guide

📅 April 7, 2003 - Web hosting research and consulting organization The ebi Group (ebigroup.com) announced on Monday that it has released its "2003 Hosting Reseller Resource Guide," designed to help hosting resellers build effective, customer-friendly businesses.

The industry directory, says ebi, lists 200 providers of reseller-specific products, services and information, including billing and support systems, hosting control panels, email tools and services, support services, shopping carts, e-commerce security, site-creation tools, search-engine marketing services and industry news and discussion sites. Each entry features a description of the company's services, types of hosting platforms, product and service features and pricing.
"Hosting resellers need a variety of add-on products and services to best serve their target audience: small businesses themselves looking to build a successful presence online," said Shirley Siluk Gregory, senior analyst with The ebi Group. "These resellers can spend way too many hours hunting for information on which options are best for them, and struggling to comparison-shop. These hours would be better spent actually marketing and running their reseller businesses, and that's why we developed this industry guide."
The 90-page report is available for electronic delivery, in PDF format, from the company's Web site through April 11 for a reduced price of $42.95.
