PowWeb, Inc Hosting in Los Angeles is offering a lot of free services with hosting this month and next, and advises consumers on Online Shopping Fraud.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2004 -- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," warns Andrew H. Te, CEO of PowWeb, Inc. (www.PowWeb.com), a Los Angeles global hosting company serving small and medium businesses.
The U.S. Dept. of Commerce reported (11-19-04) online retail sales jumped more than 21 percent in the third quarter. Adjusted for seasonal variations and holiday and trading-day differences, online sales increased 21.5 percent to $17.6 billion, compared with the same period a year ago. On a non-adjusted basis, online retail revenues rose 21.2 percent to $16.5 billion. Total retail sales for the quarter was $916.5 billion.
This is typically the time of the year when many new and returning consumers begin to shop online for the upcoming holidays," said Te. Common sense should prevail when it comes to scams that arrive in the inbox of your email system. Dont open email that looks suspicious, just delete it."
Te said the public should follow the tips offered by the FBI and Federal Trade Commission to avoid Internet scams. He also said the Better Business Bureau (BBB)also offerings holiday shopping tips on its website.The best advice is to use your common sense," said Te. When in doubt, check it out."
To meet the rising demands in ecommerce and hosting, this holiday season PowWeb expanded its hosting disk space from 1,000 to 2,000 megabytes, which Te believes allows business firms to add everything from more images and graphics to streaming video online.
Most major hosting companies offer five megabytes or 200 times less than we offer," explained Te. If business owners visit www.PowWeb.com during November and December, we will waive a setup fee, give two months of free hosting, a free domain name (yourcompanyname.com), 2,000 MB of space, and five gigabytes of traffic per day, not monthly."
PowWeb offers a single hosting monthly package of $7.77 per business customer. Te said by offering only a single hosting package, it simplifies PowWebs management, reduces overhead costs, and passes the savings on to customers. It is the best bang for your buck – our ‘ONE PLAN provides you with the best price/service ratio just about anywhere in the world."
