Netfirms raises the bar with massive upgrades to hosting plans

TORONTO, November 9, 2005 – Netfirms, the leading web hosting company for small and medium sized businesses, announced today HUGE upgrades to its hosting packages – including a massive 40GB plan.

Disk space, bandwidth and MySQL databases have all increased – some by more than 1000% – with no change in prices. This increase in the plan specs comes at the same time as Netfirms has made significant improvements to its product line, including a major upgrade to its industry-leading Control Panel XL6.

“Customers can expect Netfirms to continue pushing the envelope on performance and value,” says Netfirms President Thomas Savundra. “We are committed to giving people the most powerful hosting products in the world, for the best price.”

Hosting plans, ranging in price from $4.95 to $14.95 per month, include:

PLUS Plan

Disk space increased from 500MB to 6GB

Monthly bandwidth increased from 10GB to 300GB

MySQL Database capability added

ADVANTAGE Plan

Disk space increased from 2GB to 20GB

Monthly bandwidth increased from 100GB to 750GB

MySQL Databases increased from 10 to 30

BUSINESS Plan

Disk space increased from 3GB to 40GB

Monthly bandwidth increased from 150GB to 1500GB

MySQL Databases increased from 20 to 60

Along with powerful features (such as being able to host multiple domains on an account), Netfirms takes technology very seriously. All hosting packages are served from clustered hosting server grids, on triple-redundancy networks, at enterprise-class data centers.

“Together with the fact that we have the lowest domain prices in the world [Netcraft® 2005], these hosting plan upgrades put Netfirms at the very top of the class for value. We came into this market almost a decade ago with a vision of helping people get their businesses online affordably, and that’s still our unwavering mission today,” said Savundra.
