Host unlimited blogs, websites for $4.95 only with this web host

web hosting and Internet services company, Hostopia.com Inc., has debuted initial licensing of website templates to the service provider market, focusing on large hosting providers like Hostgator with strong reseller networks. HostGator, one of North America’s leading hosting providers with a major share of the reseller market, has licensed Hostopia’s full inventory of professionally developed site templates for distribution to its customer base.

Paul D. Engels, Chief Marketing Officer of Hostopia says, ”Demand for pre-built websites is surging as small businesses and professional website designers seek to create superior business websites with less effort. Hosting providers can fill this demand, but only if they source a reliable supply of compelling templates with attractive licensing terms. Hostopia meets this need.”

The website templates licensed by Hostopia are based on industry standard protocols to be fully compatible with leading development tools such as Namo WebEditor 2006 Suite, Adobe Photoshop6+, Macromedia Flash MX+, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, FrontPage 2003+, or any other HTML editor. File formats supported include PSD, HTML, SWF and FLA as well as non-flash versions.

Brent Oxley, CEO of HostGator noted, “Hosting resellers are dominated by the developer community who need high quality templates. Few, if any, licensable sources of high-quality templates exist in the market other than Hostopia’s. Our in-depth research and testing of their site designs confirm they are the best choice for our needs.”

Details of the Hostopia and HostGator agreement have not been revealed., however, it is reported that over 2,500 templates are included under a fully-paid licence with an option to add additional site templates plus OS Commerce designs. In a statement issued by the companies, Mr. Oxley indicated that HostGator’s marketing plans for the templates are in progress and Hostgator clients can expect to see them within 90 days.

Hostopia will be offering other licensable properties such as OS Commerce templates and 30,000 web-ready images in the near future. Hostopia develops, manages, and distributes Internet applications used by small and medium sized businesses, including web site hosting, managed email, ecommerce, and other online business applications. Hostopia sells its services on a wholesale basis to communications services providers such as telecommunications and cable companies, Internet service providers, domain registrars, and web hosting companies who, in turn, resell Hostopia’s services under their own brand to small-medium sized business customers.
