Host Depot Helps Businesses Grab a Piece of the $32 Billion Online Shopping Pie

Coral Springs, FL - November 14, 2006 - This holiday season, an estimated 114 million shoppers will spend $32 billion, an increase of 18% over last year, according to Jupiter Research. This is a very important statistic for businesses that have not yet joined in on the e-Holiday craze, as well as for those who have obsolete, outdated websites or old clunky shopping carts that will turn potential customers away.

Many businesses are unsure of who to speak with regarding improving their websites, or even if they can get them ready quickly for the holiday season. Host Depot, the industry’s top rated hosting provider according to Webhostdir.com is providing their solutions for those who want a piece of this season’s online holiday pie.

According to Jeff Pettit, VP marketing from Host Depot, “It’s not just more online shoppers, but there are many people setting up online stores to cash in on the e-Holidays shopping craze. All these new businesses are looking for easy online tools to get in the game and start selling. The problem is that many are waiting until the last minute, which is where we come in.”

Host depot offers solutions to help customers launch their e-commerce web site fast, with tools allowing them to have accounts able to take orders the same day they order their hosting services. As more and more entrepreneurs are seeking low-cost, user-friendly e-commerce tools, Host Depots comprehensive and quick set-up tools are becoming increasingly popular year after year.

Tools such as Google Checkout, which will allows customers to easily and securely purchase products on the web site by consumers, Host Depot gives those who utilize its solutions the opportunity to provide the most up-to-date and user friendly online shopping experience there is.

The Bandwidth Bank program is another tool offered by Host Depot that allows their customers to rollover their unused bandwidth, which comes in handy, especially during the holiday season where most e-commerce sites use up the majority of their bandwidth. This allows companies to keep what they pay for, rather than forcing them to purchase more bandwidth than they need, or charging them when they go over due to an unforeseen increase in usage.
