July 28, 2004 -- AIT has simplified the process for businesses that want to establish an Internet presence while, at the same time, providing its deep reseller channel with two more revenue-generating products. AIT has opened a Template Store http://ref.aitcom.net/in.php?linkId=138 stocked with professional designs that cover a wide range of industry types, making site design simple. “The look of a web site says a lot about the company behind it, in terms of professionalism and quality,” says Clarence Briggs, AIT’s Chief Executive Officer. “The Template Store is a tool of economy, cutting both the time and cost of web site development. It’s as simple as downloading a skin and typing in content.” AIT is consistently adding new templates for freshness and variety.
The North Carolina-based hosting provider has also developed an application through which customers can sell advertising on web sites they control. Power Ads http://ref.aitcom.net/in.php?linkId=139 is a web-based, secure online advertising management system that controls how often clients’ ads run, when they run, and who sees them. “Power Ads provides you a tool to turn your site traffic into revenue as well as provide a service for your customers," said Kirk deViere, Chief Operating Officer at AIT. "Everyone in the digital economy wants to increase traffic; this tools works for businesses that are already getting it.” Power Ads is designed to work with banners, buttons, and text ads and has a reporting feature so advertisers can gauge performance.
The Template Store and Power Ads application are the latest releases in a busy "year of innovation" for AIT that has also seen an anti-spam, firewall, and port monitoring services, the creation of a new class of self-managed dedicated servers, and a private label domain registration program. “We have worked toward building value for our customers,” said Briggs. “The goal is two-fold: give our small business customers the technological tools they need to be successful, and to create products and services that our resellers can offer to their customers.”
