Web Hosting Provider, Newtek, Redesigns Website

Phoenix, Arizona - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 18, 2008 - The web hosting division of Newtek Technology Services, has redesigned its website, focusing on quick site navigation, usability, and increased resources for small businesses, developers, and web hosting resellers.

Newtek Web Hosting is a leading provider of web hosting and business services to the small and medium-sized business market. With one click access from any point in the website to locate plan details, including shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting plans, as well as the company's complete line of business services, including electronic payment processing, small business lending, and insurance services, Newtek Web Hosting's sleek new layout allows existing and potential customers to quickly obtain the information they need or sign up for new services in a few short steps.

Bob Cichon, President and Chief Operating Officer of Newtek Technology Services noted, ''We went straight to customers to find out what they wanted to see in our redesign. What we found is that your everyday web designer or business owner is often overwhelmed when shopping for new hosting service. Information is frequently hard to find, buried deep inside a hosting provider's site, and often filled with jargon not everyone understands. We determined, through our own market research, that our website needed to be resourceful to the technically savvy, such as IT professionals and developers, but also accessible to everyday consumers, like small business owners.''

Mr. Cichon remarked, ''The website's focus on usability is an extension of Newtek Web Hosting's on-going commitment to improving the level of service it provides.In one location, you'll be able to order new service, get in touch with always-available technical support, and even apply for a wide-range of business services. We have a unique ability in the hosting industry to provide a one-stop solution for businesses, from reliable, world-class hosting, to small business financial services, and much more.''
