Hostway Corporation, a Chicago-based provider of Web hosting services and online business tools for small- to medium-sized enterprises, announces SiteControl 3.0. This new version of Hostway’s proprietary control panel allows Hostway customers to manage all aspects of their Web site anytime and anywhere via the Internet.

SiteControl 3.0 is more powerful, allows for more intuitive navigation and empowers Hostway’s customers to manage their Web-based businesses. Features include:

• Domain Name Registration Manager – register, check and renew domain names
• SiteStudio – build and manage Web sites and online stores
• Centralized E-mail Manager – check email (using a Web-based email client), manage email users and addresses and set-up email forwarding
• Usage Monitor – track disk, file, traffic and other usage in real time
• Account Manager – check billing records or order new hosting accounts and features
• Customer Service – check online manual and FAQ and submit trouble tickets

“We rebuilt SiteControl with one goal in mind: a better customer experience,” said Lucas Roh, president, chief executive officer and founder of Hostway. “With version 3.0, users can manage all aspects of their Web site, from site design and promotion to e-mail and account questions. For technical questions that can’t be solved with SiteControl, Hostway continues to be available 24/7 for its customers.” 

“SiteControl 3.0’s improved user interface, trouble ticket generation for support issues and simplified email management have made managing our Web site and our clients’ Web sites simpler and easier than ever,” said Roy Chomko, president of Adage Technologies. 

Hostway rebuilt SiteControl 3.0 from the ground up. The new system architecture has been redesigned for faster, more stable use. Additionally, SiteControl 3.0 is now hosted on massively clustered servers to ensure better performance and higher availability.

“With the introduction of SiteControl 3.0, Hostway has reaffirmed its commitment to providing excellent customer service, which is critical for attracting and retaining mass market hosting customers,” said Joshua Beil, vice president of research and development at Tier 1 Research. “The increased scalability and functionality of version 3.0 offers Hostway customers the insight into their hosted environments needed to keep their Web sites and online businesses running smoothly.”
