Oct, 2003 : Hostopia Releases New SOHO Hosting Plans

📅 October 28, 2003 - Hostopia (hostopia.com ) released an expanded line of small business hosting plans today targeted at the small office and home office (SOHO) customer. According to the the Ft. Lauderdale and Toronto-based company, the plans, available through its network of private label partners, help service providers expand revenues and markets.

Hostopia's four new SOHO plans include: Personal Basic, SOHO Basic, SOHO Plus and SOHO E-mail/Forward.
The wholesale cost is $1.77 per user per month. Hostopia said it suggests service providers set price points as low as $3.99 per month for its SOHO line.
"End-user demand for hosting and e-mail services has transformed over the last year with majority and late adopters flooding into the market. These users are both price sensitive and technology-averse," said Paul D. Engels, vice president of marketing for Hostopia. "SOHO plans present extreme ease-of-use at compelling entry level price points for even the most casual of businesses."
The service also includes EasySiteWizard 5.0, Hostopia's site creation editor. "Our research into the SOHO market confirmed that lack of a web site prevented most buyers from purchasing hosting services. Including a powerful site creation tool in the SOHO plans was essential to removing a critical buyer's objection," said Engels.
Hostopia also announced that is it offering reduced tier one support prices for SOHO plans. The company said this would allow service providers to offload high support costs.
