Press Release Summary: Web hosting provider, ProperHost.net, launches new web
hosting plans optimized for the Magento open-source eCommerce platform. A
professional Magento installation is provided for free.

Press Release Body: August 22, 2008 – Web hosting provider ProperHost.net
(http://www.properhost.net) announced on Wednesday the launch of a new family of
hosting plans, tailored specifically for the Magento eCommerce application. Magento
is a new open-source eCommerce solution offering merchants complete flexibility and
control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store.

The Magento hosting plans on offer are powered by fast Intel Q6600 Quad-Core
servers, tweaked to deliver optimal performance and speed for Magento sites.
Customers may choose between two different plans (starting at $19.95/mo.) depending
on the size of their store and their budget. A free Magento installation is provided
with each plan.

A complete specification is available at:

“Due to its robust architecture and extensive feature set, Magento is a quite
resource intensive application and may therefore suffer from performance issues when
deployed in a regular shared hosting environment. By placing only a small number of
clients on each server, we have been able to provide a premium service to Magento
store owners at the fraction of the cost of a dedicated server. Independent tests
have shown a significant performance boost using our optimized solution, compared to
many of our competitors”, says Sindre Moe, Director of ProperHost.net.

Magento has gained enormous popularity over the last few months since its official
release in April, 2008, and have already won several awards including
SourceForge.net’s prestigious “Best New Project 2008”. It is currently the fastest
growing eCommerce platform on the market, with more than 30,000 community members
and 400,000+ downloads to date. For more information about Magento, visit
