Interland Named Small-Business Computing Product of the Year

Interland (www.interland.com), a provider of online sales and marketing services for small and medium-sized businesses, has received a 2005 Small Business Computing Excellence in Technology Award in the e-commerce group from the users of SmallBusinessComputing.com, an informational site operated by JupiterWeb, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation.

In late 2004 readers of SmallBusinessComputing.com, a leading online information resource designed specifically for Internet and IT professionals dedicated to providing technology solutions for small businesses, voted on the best products in 24 categories. Interland ranked #1 in the site-hosting category for its popular line of Web-site creation and marketing offerings.

"Small businesses turned out in force to tell us who's earning their trust and dollars," said Dan Muse, executive editor of internet.com's Small Business Channel. "Small businesses have never had so many products from which to choose. No more getting by with less power, sacrificing features for price or trying to adapt big-business products to smaller, but equally demanding, business."

The article announcing the winners recognized Interland's product depth in helping small-business owners design, host and maintain a Web presence at an affordable price.

Since first launching easy site-building tools for businesses in 2003, Interland has fueled this trend and continues to pioneer the delivery of online sales and marketing services to small and medium-sized businesses.

"This is a great honor for all of us at Interland," said Denise Grey, vice president of marketing and channel sales for Interland. "To have small businesses give us this kind of endorsement validates that we are bringing to market the online tools and services business owners need to immediately capitalize on the Internet."
