BT Business Cuts The Price Of Web Hosting
BT Business offers 40% reduction on Starter Pack to help small businesses get online


LONDON, ENGLAND, July 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- BT Business has announced a major price cut to its web hosting Starter Pack to encourage small businesses to get online.

The cost of a 5GB web hosting package with BT Business has been reduced by 40 per cent to an exclusive online price of GBP2.99* per month, including a host of extra business tools to help small businesses promote themselves with a professional and secure web presence.

With enough web space to create hundreds of pages, a professional business domain name and business email for up to 10 accounts, the price cut makes the BT Business Starter Pack one of the most high value web hosting packages specifically designed for small businesses in the UK offering 24/7 support.

One in five small businesses don't have their own web site, despite 25 per cent - GBP78 billion - of UK retail spend in this year projected to come from online sales. According to BT Business research the vast majority that do are also not getting the most out of their websites or using them effectively to attract customers.

Helen Costello, founder of Aardvark Cakes in St Helens, Merseyside, has been a BT web hosting Starter Pack customer for three years. The mother-of-two, who works from home, said: "My business is my website and it is important for me that it is easy for customers to find what they are looking for and place orders. Having a trustworthy web hosting provider is vital to me as the site is an indispensable tool of my trade. In the past 12 months, trade has really escalated, showing just how important it is for a small business to have an online presence in this day and age."

"Having a professional web site presence could mean the difference between winning and losing customers in the current climate," said Jerry Thompson, director online, BT Business. "We are listening to small businesses that are citing overall cost, ease of use and 24/7 support amongst their top considerations when getting online. By offering a complete range of high value digital marketing services we want to ensure that small businesses can compete as effectively as bigger companies and can grow their online presence with them."

The BT Business Starter Pack is available immediately. Additional features include free web site building software with 400 templates to get businesses started on creating their own web site without the need for technical expertise.
