Online Plaza terminates its web hosting service

Online Plaza, the UK online shopping catalog has decided to end its web hosting service, which only started about a month ago. All affected customers have been informed and a special technical team has been set up to help customers transfer their websites to another host/server successfully.

"We are sorry to cause any inconvenience to our customers. Over the month we have received a substantial amount of businesses in our web hosting section, but we still do not see its long term profit due to the high operating and maintenance cost. We almost set up another new company with all web host related experts and technicians and that require a higher than expected cost. Therefore we decide to terminate this part of business and concentrate on our core business," said the managing director. "If you look carefully into our business you'll find that web hosting is absolutely a different kind of industry which would require a vast amount of additional resources in order to support it, and that, we feel has distracted our available resources from our core business."

"Now we're able to concentrate on our core competitive, i.e. providing the best online shopping catalog to our user, and we're positive in what we are doing now."
