New program for web hosting unveiled

Dubai-based Marimba Computer LLC has been appointed sole distributor for Hosting in-a-box in the UAE. Marimba distributes IT and office automation products and services to a select channel in the Middle East and Africa.

Hostrix, an international web hosting and application service provider focused on the Middle East, Gulf and Africa, has unveiled its new web hosting programme that revolutionises the set procedures of hosting a website.

The Hostrix web hosting-in-a-box is an off-the-shelf package that allows the user to activate a versatile web hosting account and register a domain name of their choice.

There is no need to place the users credit card information online to register a domain name and purchase a website. He/she needs to purchase the Hosting in-a-box from the retail store, log on to the Internet using the preferred browser and follow the instructions to register the domain name.

In three easy steps, the user is taken from registering a domain name and activating a prepaid hosting account. Step one requires the user to go to the Hostrix website and enter the authentication code.

The authentication code is verified and the user is then taken to step two which is domain registration. Users can register .com, .net or .org domains instantly. Step three acquires information required to register the domain name ownership after which, the customer's domain name and hosting account is activated.

Hosting-in-a-box acts as a complete solution as it not only provides the user with the ability to instantly register a domain name and activate a web hosting account but also offers web based tools to manage their accounts.
