VANCOUVER, Wash. - Dotster, Inc., one of the first accredited and most trusted providers of affordable domain registration, web hosting packages and services, announces an entirely new suite of Web hosting packages that give businesses and consumers some of the best values available on the Internet today. Dotster's new packages feature expanded capabilities that will satisfy customer needs -- such as increased storage space and more bandwidth -- at a cost that is the same as current price points. Dotster will also automatically upgrade all current customer's packages on its latest hosting platform to reflect the new capacities, providing great service for new and existing customers alike.

The added storage space allows for more content, links and pages as well as higher-quality graphics and photos on a users web site. The expanded bandwidth ensures that the user's web sites can handle the increase in interactive traffic as their business or community grows.

"Dotster's new web hosting packages underscore our commitment and emphasis to deliver the best value and highest level of service to our customers," said Clint Page, CEO, Dotster, Inc. "The aim is to pack each hosting package with tremendous space, speed, and technology while keeping the price aggressive. I'm confident what we've created is the greatest web hosting value currently available on the Internet."

In 2005 Dotster, already an award-winning hosting provider, invested in a dramatic upgrade of its hosting platform and subscription plans to deliver state-of-the-art products that lead the industry in security and reliability. Dotster currently provides its customers with five different web hosting packages, each designed for individual needs and all offering highly reliable features and support.

All packages include free e-mail and advanced features such as web analytics, Microsoft Front Page plug-ins and MySQL or MSSQL databases. In addition, the packages feature value-added services including free DNS Management, e-mail forwarding and a host of free scripts that allow users to add advanced functionality to their Web sites. These free scripts include e-commerce and payment processing, content management, chat, search, galleries, polling, blogs and games.
