HostGator Offers Toll Free Numbers to Business Customers at No Cost

HostGator.com is now providing customers, who purchase their Business hosting package, a toll-free number at no charge through VOIPo, voice-over-IP service.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 14, 2009 -- Shared, reseller, and dedicated web hosting company HostGator announced today that it is further improving its professional hosting offerings by including toll-free numbers with all of its Business hosting plans at no additional cost.

Each toll-free number will include 100 minutes of free usage per calendar month. Additional minutes are available for 4.9 cents per minute. Each toll-free number can be pointed to any existing phone number in the U.S. and Canada and customers can update the destination number and view their toll-free number's call history in real-time.

The Business plan, HostGator's flagship shared hosting offering, allows users to host unlimited websites and includes a free private SSL certificate and dedicated IP address as well as unlimited disk space and bandwidth. The addition of a toll-free number will complement the plan's existing offerings and allow HostGator's business customers to further grow their businesses.

"Late last year, we set a new industry standard by including a free SSL certificate and dedicated IP address with our Business hosting plan. Now, we're taking it a step further and giving those same customers a toll-free number at no charge," said Brent Oxley, HostGator's founder and CEO.

The toll-free service is managed and provided by Houston-based voice-over-IP provider VOIPo. VOIPo, which provides a wide range of telecommunications services including toll-free numbers, residential VoIP services and SIP trunking, was founded by a former HostGator executive in 2006.
