Fasthosts Offers Microsoft Office Suite

UK Web hosting provider Fasthosts announced on Wednesday that it has launched the most up-to-date version of Microsoft Office software as a service offering.

Opening at only £4.99 a month plus VAT and with no up-front costs and discs involved with the boxed product, Fasthosts Microsoft Office package uses the SaaS model to present an innovative means of acquiring the popular Microsoft Office product including its Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook applications,.

After registering at Fasthosts’ website the software is delivered to the customer through a download straight to their PC. Fasthosts says the full version MS Office suite is identical in appearance and functionality as the boxed product with the software running locally on a user’s PC and confirmed with Fasthosts when the PC goes online. Users are also guaranteed to persistently gain from the most recent software versions via automatic version and security updates.

Mark Jeffries, CTO of Fasthosts Internet stated “Our MS Office package is an excellent way to obtain the very latest versions of the software we all need, affordably, on a pay-as-you-go basis. Its low monthly cost and easy installation will suit a great many home and business users. We will continue to develop new products that make full use of one’s Internet access to fulfill software and other computing needs. Individuals and businesses alike can gain from the flexibility that Internet-driven software can offer.”

Fasthosts recently experienced a password reset issue resulting in customers confusion and complaints.
