👈 Official Responses: 0) has launched its North American operations today using a promotional $0.99 domain name offer to attract customers on this side of the Atlantic.
According to a Thursday announcement by 1997-founded Webfusion, the company is bringing its "easy-to-understand Web hosting packages" to America. It is offering shared hosting starting at $2.99 per a month for 10 GB of space and 300 GB of traffice. Its highest-end plan offers 400 GB space, 5 TB monthly traffic and 100 MySQL databases for $14.99. All plans include around the clock phone or email technical support at no added cost.
"We're really excited to be launching in the US," Webfusion chief executive officer Thomas Vollrath said in a statement. "We think lots of hosting companies out there have taken a 'me-too' approach, copying each others' features and making it hard for customers to tell the difference between them."
Vollrath said that Webfusion's simple plans give clients exactly what they need - something lacking in American plans. "We're different - we've focused on providing the features people really want, and offering outstanding support and service to help our customers make the most of them. With our purpose built data centers and tier 1 network, our customers know they can trust us to make sure their Web site is online and accessible at all times."
Despite its discount prices, it was named the most reliable UK hosting company by Netcraft's (netcraft.com) esteemed January 2008 report, and among the top five in the world. According to the company, Webfusion is the largest web host in the UK with 1.4 million hosted websites and nearly 2 million registered domains.
Webfusion is the lastest of a handful of UK hosts that have expanded their operations to the US. Reseller web hosting provider Fasthosts (fasthosts.com) offered a similarly lucrative promotion when it launched in the US in late September, offering resellers a one-year, free, unlimited hosting package, giving US entrepreneurs an opportunity to try web hosting at no risk.
These "loss leaders" or "key value items," which are sold at such a low prices, even their sales may cause a loss, create a situation where consumers would be foolish not to accept the offer. These companies count on customers being impressed enough to stay with them even when the deals run out - or at least be too lazy to switch to another provider when it's time to renew.
