Web.com Helps Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Sell More Online by Expanding eCommerce Offerings

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Every online retailer knows that when it comes to eCommerce, one size does not fit all, which is why Web.com (Nasdaq:WWWW), a leading provider of online marketing for small and medium-sized businesses, is introducing a breakthrough line of eCommerce products designed to help its customers reach more online shoppers and increase their online sales.

The products integrate best-in-class eCommerce shopping cart features and SSL certificates with online marketing tools such as email marketing, affiliate program management, custom domain names and built-in search engine optimization. In addition, the products are PCI (Payment Card Industry) certified and compliant, which means they adhere to the highest standards established by the PCI Security Standards Council to protect consumers from cardholder fraud or data theft.

"With record levels of consumers shopping online, we saw an opportunity to give our customers access to secure, uniquely bundled eCommerce products that integrate our proven online marketing tools," said David Brown, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Web.com. "The 2009 statistics are telling for small and medium-sized businesses: eCommerce accounted for approximately 10 percent of all U.S. retail sales, up from 6 percent in 2008 — and holiday shoppers spent $29 billion online, a 4-percent increase over the holiday season in 2008.* With our expanded eCommerce product line, we're continuing to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed in the online marketplace, which we've been doing for more than 13 years."

The three new products are designed to provide just the right mix of eCommerce shopping cart solutions and online exposure for merchants — at any stage in their lifecycle. eCommerce Express features basic eCommerce functionality, eCommerce Standard includes eCommerce and online marketing tools, and eCommerce Pro offers a full-featured solution with the ability to sell unlimited products.
