It also announced significant upgrades and new features for its existing packages to provide additional value for current subscribers.

Announcing the two new web-hosting packages and the overhaul of the existing ones, Mr. Ahmad Abdulkarim Julfar, GM, eCompany, said: "We have announced new packages and upgrades to help small businesses and individuals adopt the Internet as a tool for reaching their objectives. We offer them end-to-end services, from design and development of their websites to hosting of their Internet presence and our offering has been upgraded to provide them more value for less. Internet presence is affordable for anyone today and customers in the region have the choice of outsourcing their entire Internet requirement to eCompany."

Simple personal sites to more sophisticated, business driven websites incorporating complex technologies, databases and online payment gateways can be hosted through the range of eCompany web-hosting packages. More than 8,300 websites are currently hosted at the state-of-the-art Etisalat Data Center (eDC). Multi-skilled staff ensures that the Center provides the highest levels of support and service.

The new MyWeb and MySite packages make it easier and cheaper to own a website and are in line with eCompany's commitment to provide customers with a range of options to enhance their Internet presence.
