Chicago, IL, February 11, 2008: Chicago-based managed dedicated server provider, SingleHop Inc., is today offering a new promotion allowing customers to try a managed dedicated server for only $1 for the first month. In conjunction with this no-obligation offer, the company is launching a new website layout that may be the hosting industry’s most user friendly, utilizing an exclusive navigation scheme.

“This is a pretty powerful offer; As you can probably tell, we are extremely excited to launch our advanced website layout, which puts all the information viewers want right there on our main page. We have researched what does and doesn’t work in this space for eight solid months and know that this model is the best available,” says Zak Boca, President of SingleHop. “We are committed to serving our customers in the best way possible, and staying ahead of the ever-changing online world,” adds Boca.

The unique SingleHop website layout puts all of the information most commonly searched for on the home page, utilizing a brand-new unique navigation scheme. A new Poindexter’s Lab (SingleHop’s frog mascot) section where SingleHop engineers can test new concepts, ideas and technologies and allows clients to try them out as well, is also front and center. The new website enables clients to browse the server inventory easily with the new server catalog. Redefined management packages and options are also incorporated, as well as easier two-level navigation on all sub pages to make getting around the site easy for all users.

Founded in October 2006, SingleHop has marked an unprecedented rise in popularity against many other well established providers, some of whom have been in business for ten years or more for a combined 200 years of experience.

SingleHop reinvented industry policies by offering the fully transparent suite of à la Carte services. For the first time ever business customers are able to tailor their level of support to their needs and expertise, instead of being pigeonholed into fixed fee trouble ticket or vague tiered services support. In fact, SingleHop is setting a new industry standard equipping its new datacenter with servers that run 30% more efficiently than the traditional standard and are consequently sharing the resulting energy savings with their customers, offering a program rewarding new customers an immediate 10% discount.

“Until we launched SingleHop, most hosting provider’s offered very few options in managed services; consumers either opted for pay as you go trouble tickets, which added up very quickly, or for tiered support, which is like paying for a tune up when you need an oil change,” says Boca. “We threw that model out the window and allow our customers to purchase exactly what they need on a service by service basis. This message clearly resonated very quickly with the industry. And we are thrilled to now offer both customers and affiliates benefits to working with SingleHop.”
