"We see this as a unique opportunity to serve our soldiers and demonstrate the potential of the Internet," said John Lee, director of marketing for Hostway. "We think today's soldiers' families could really benefit from this technology and we want to make it widely available. With thousands of US servicemen and servicewomen stationed across the globe in Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea and so many other locations, Hostway wants to lead the way in offering the latest technology in Web communications to help bring families together."
The company said the promotional offering is worth $200 based on its current Web hosting prices and is available to all branches of the United States military.
"Now when a soldier on duty becomes a parent for the first time, photographs of the baby and the thoughts of the entire family can come together on a personalized Web site that can be viewed anywhere, anytime. New photos can be added daily," said Lee. "The power of the Internet lends itself to an application of this sort and we are proud to be able to offer it in a manner that serves those who are serving our country."
