News: Invitation-Only Gmail Style Free Web Hosting Service Launches
Have you moved.in yet? That's a question many webmasters will ask others as Moved.in opens it's doors.
"Google has started with GMail and it seems they did it right, as
launching an invitation based services is a big help if it comes to
abuse protection. Since our service is based on invitations, only
existing members can invite new members. This way, existing members are
responsible if anything goes wrong.", said Mr. Bosch - Accounting
Manager.
What exactly is Moved.in? Moved in is a brand new community-like
service, where webmasters can signup for ( ad )-free CPanel hosting.
Features include PHP, mySQL and of course web space.
"Don't call it 'yet another free host' as it is really a totally
different story. Most free hosting providers put ads on a user's
website to make some bucks. Moved.in is different - there are no ads at
all. Our business plan is having sponsors supporting our service by
placing their 'two-liner' in our newsletters. Our costs are covered and
our members enjoy totally ad-free hosting - Sounds fair doesn't it?",
Mr. Bosch added.
The idea itself sounds promising ( even if not new ), as members of the
Moved.in service will be very careful while selecting new members, as
their own account would be in risk if anything goes wrong.
Editors Note: ( ex. Member 1 invites an abusive member 2 and get's
suspended as member one is responsible for member 2's account )

News: Domain Registrar Network Solutions Introduces Country-Specific Domains
Network Solutions, the first and world's leading registrar of domain names and Web-related services, today announced the launch of its Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) service. Customers who wish to differentiate local market content and create a targeted global Web presence can choose from six new ccTLDs offered from Network Solutions (www.networksolutions.com), including extensions for the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Austria, New Zealand and Mexico.
For a limited time, customers can register United Kingdom extensions (.co.uk, org.uk, .me.uk) for only $6.99 a year, and the Germany extension (.de) for only $11.99 a year -- a competitive pricing structure that sets Network Solutions' ccTLD service apart from other offerings in the sector. All the ccTLDs are offered through Network Solutions and may be registered by anyone, from any country.
"The use of the Internet continues to rise outside of the United States and we expect it to climb rapidly in Europe, Asia and Latin America over the next few years(1)," said Network Solutions Chairman and CEO Champ Mitchell. "With a ccTLD extension, our customers can expand their customer base by offering specific in-language content and location information on their Web sites."
Customers can register ccTLDs to prevent unauthorized use of trademarks, brands and licensed names. In addition, ccTLDs complement existing .com and .net domain names, by broadening a customer's marketing to include an international audience. The ccTLDs are as easy to use as a .com domain name. These domain extensions allow customers to create an in-language Web site and display different site content for various cultures around the world and are widely recognized in the countries they represent.
The ccTLDs use many of the same features as the widespread .com and .net domain extensions, including Network Solutions' easy-to-use account management tools, advanced DNS service and auto renew.

News: Ecommerce Software StoreSense Expands Reach to Meet E-Business Opportuni
Kurant Corporation, leaders in providing e-business software for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), today announced StoreSense 5.8, an enriched version of its award-winning e-business platform. With a host of powerful new features including e-mail marketing, enhanced transaction security, seamless eBay functionality, and multiple shipping options, StoreSense 5.8 provides merchants with the most comprehensive, easy-to-use e-business arsenal available for implementing and managing a competitive e-business.
"StoreSense 5.8 marks an evolutionary milestone in the progression of e-business tools for small businesses," said Curtis Pierce, president and CEO of Kurant. "Never before have merchants had the opportunity to so easily develop an e-business solution from the ground up that can rival the capability of many of the largest e-tailers in the country. Merchants can also rest assured that with all the newly added functionality, StoreSense 5.8 continues to be the most cost effective solution available today."
StoreSense 5.8 integrates permission-based e-mail marketing capabilities from Constant Contact, a leading provider of advanced e-mail marketing service for small businesses and associations. As a result, StoreSense 5.8 merchants have the ability to effectively reach new users and solidify relationships with existing customers. This new functionality provides merchants with an easy and affordable way to develop and implement highly effective e-mail campaigns. Merchants are provided with the tools to create and manage e-mail lists, newsletters, announcements and promotions, as well as track e-mail campaign results. According to DoubleClick's Fourth Annual Consumer e-mail study(1), almost half of all people who have signed up for e-mail communication make purchases as a result of receiving the merchant's solicitation.
StoreSense 5.8 also provides merchants with added credit card transaction security through its relationship with CyberSource. StoreSense now offers its merchants a convenient, hassle-free payer authentication service that provides online payment guarantees through the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode programs, plus optional additional fraud screen protection for non-Visa and MasterCard transactions. These card programs verify the cardholder's identity directly with the card issuer in real-time to increase payment security and reduce the risk of fraud.
StoreSense 5.8 also features improved eBay functionality. Targeted toward power sellers, this updated integration allows merchants to upload products to eBay in bulk, whereas merchants were previously required to post products one at a time. This improved process allows merchants to better manage their business, saving hours of time for those selling large quantities of products through eBay.
Adding to StoreSense's existing integrations with shipping options FedEx, UPS and CanadaPost, StoreSense 5.8 merchants can utilize the United States Postal Service. This new integration can be used by North American merchants to obtain real-time rate requests, print labels and track shipments.
Offered on a cost-effective monthly subscription basis, StoreSense 5.8 will be available starting mid-January from Kurant's reseller partners throughout the U.S., Canada and the world. To pick a reseller right for you, please go to www.StoreSense.com.
