The service also provides controlled patching, with critical security patches applied within 72 hours of release and standard patches within 14 days or as requested.

Through the promise of a fully managed solution, Total Care Support provides the customer with the sense of security they require, stated Rob LaMear, Frontpages president, in a press release.

A Microsoft gold certified partner since January, Frontpages provides hosted applications including SharePoint, MOSS, Exchange, CRM, SQL Server, in conjunction with its more standard selection of dedicated server offerings.

The Frontpages announcement provided no particulars about the pricing of the new management services, but the company appears to be following the presently fashionable model of addressing its existing customer base by moving up the stack toward a more managed offering.

The announcement follows last month’s upgrade that offered Web hosting customers some of the leading storage space and bandwidth offers, says the company.

Amy Armitage, head of the business development and marketing departments at Lunarpages stated “Our Web hosting customers have enough storage and bandwidth to host as many websites as they need, so we figured they should have the ability to do just that.”

New customers can host infinite websites with unrestricted free add-on domains on any of Lunarpages’ Basic or Business hosting plans.

Chris Stening, UK Online’s managing director stated “Many small businesses use consumer grade POP3 email which limits how and when they can access their email. More importantly, they run the risk of losing all their emails and contacts if their PC or laptop hardware fails. Microsoft Hosted Exchange is the best business-strength email there is. In today’s business environment, a business quality, easy to manage professional email service is key.”
