Interlinc Communications Revamps
Hosting Network And Offering Free For Life Website
Hosting
Interlinc Communications, Jamaica’s leading new
media agency, announced today, that it has revamped
its web-hosting infrastructure and is offering a
plethora of new features at significantly reduced
rates, including a new Free For Life hosting package
that is creating quite a stir on the local internet
marketplace.
The
company, which currently manages more local websites
than any other firm on the island, recently tripled
its server capacity, as it is now aggressively
expanding its clientele throughout the Caribbean.
With
the increasing penetration of high-speed internet
access, Interlinc has seen its business grow as more
and more Jamaicans turn to the Information Super
Highway. “This year we saw an encouraging increase
in new website sign-ups from the newly empowered –
it’s the stuff dreams are made of, kids in their
bedrooms opening businesses and selling online”,
Marcel Robinson, the company’s 28-year old CEO said,
‘Jamaica’s Digital Divide is fast disappearing, and
we want to be one of the companies that is
responsible for bridging it.”
Helping to close the gap, the company has completely
overhauled its website hosting offering, and
significantly reduced its rates. In fact, with its
high-performance hosting now as low as J$3960 per
year, the company is betting its future on an
explosive expansion of the market in the coming
years.
Underscoring its confidence in the local and
regional market, Interlinc is also offering what it
calls a ‘Free For Life’ hosting package, and is even
providing free domain registration for new clients
for their first year. A veritable marketing coup,
the Free For Life package includes 150mb of storage
space, email addresses, domain registration and all
the features you’d expect from a starter package
that typically costs anywhere from J$750 to $1500
per month from the competition.
“We
believe that by opening up and providing the canvas
free of charge, we’ll ultimately increase our
client-base and be able to introduce our new
customers to higher-end solutions, and that’s the
underlying strategy behind giving this stuff away”,
Mr. Robinson said.
Interlinc is well known for its ability to almost
unilaterally cap the industry’s price-ceilings,
having been the first company locally to offer
complete websites, hosting and domain registration
for J$7,777 per year, back in January 2000, though
its wildly successful Web-In-7 package – which
forced the industry to lower prices across the
board.
Today the Web-In-7 is the best-selling product in
the company’s arsenal that includes services and
solutions that have been deployed for such household
names as Miss Jamaica World, the Recording Industry
Association of Jamaica, FINSAC, Highway 2000 and the
CVM Startime concert series.
