FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Aplus.Net Contact: Natasha Grach, 858-410-6908

San Diego, CA – October 27th, 2005 -- Leading Internet presence solution provider, Aplus.Net recently introduced a new offering to its customers – the Media Wiki. The Media Wiki is a web-based design and editing tool that allows multiple users to collaborate on the same project. The product, licensed under the GNU Public License, is the same powerful system that serves popular collaborative sites such as Wikipedia.org. The new tool is one of the numerous innovative technologies that Aplus.Net makes available to our customers on a regular basis.

The Media Wiki is a unique, feature-rich application that enables users to create and edit web content collaboratively by simply using an Internet browser. Created in 1995, the Wiki software system has been used in such popular websites as the Web Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org, as well as the wiki based dictionary, Wiktionary, and the quotation source, WikiQuote among many others. What is especially convenient about the product is that a user can edit web pages online and check the results on the spot – there is no need to upload or use FTP.

“At Aplus.Net, our goal is to release cutting-edge technologies that are also intuitive and simple for our customers to learn and use. The Media Wiki is a great example,” commented Aplus.Net’s CEO, Ivan Vachovsky. “We realize that many of our customers do not want to spend their time learning advanced technical intricacies, so we do our best to provide them with easy yet effective tools.”

The Media Wiki is available immediately to most of Aplus.Net’s web hosting customers at no extra charge from the “web design” section of the web hosting Control Panel. The Control Panel has over 80 additional features and is a part of Aplus.Net’s web hosting plans.

Aplus.Net has had a fruitful past few weeks with respect to design tools. Last month, the company also introduced the Image Gallery tool, which allows customers to easily add photos to their websites. Last week, Aplus.Net deployed a new and improved website builder, CM4all’s Website Creator. These and many other design tools are available free of charge for Aplus.Net web hosting customers.
