Web host AT and T has increased its small business offerings portfolio, with its new turnkey web hosting solutions, and web site design services.

Developed specifically for small and midsize businesses, the services are designed as a cost-effective solution to launching a new or improving an existing web site, sell products or services online, build an online community, manage company email, distribute digital content, host a gaming server, or run many other business applications.

AT and T Web Hosting, Virtual Dedicated Server and Managed Dedicated Server offerings are designed for organizations that need more than shared server space and applications but don't require the complex multiserver environment of enterprise hosting. A menu of standard server plans for both Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux platforms allows customers to choose the plan that best meets their capacity and operating system needs. AT and T Virtual Dedicated Server emulates a dedicated server in a shared environment, allowing multiple customers to securely share the expense of hardware and network connections without sharing software or sacrificing performance or security. AT and T Managed Dedicated Server provides enterprise-class server functionality and software to power the most intensive sites and applications with dedicated bandwidth and processing power.

"More small and midsize businesses want enterprise-class web hosting without the enterprise price tag, and these solutions fill the gap between a simple Web hosting plan and a fully managed enterprise solution. Our web site design services give small businesses the features they need to get up and running quickly and start doing business right out of the gate, all from a company that understands what small businesses need to succeed", said Roman Pacewicz, Senior Vice President, Regional Business Marketing.

AT and T Web Hosting Services include an intuitive user interface that supports easy web site design, search engine submission, search engine ranking optimization, banner ad creation, e-mail management and web site traffic and user behavior reports. Technical users can perform tasks such as managing domain name registration, viewing CPU and memory usage information, managing data backups, installing applications and administering the database.
