Take advantage of other GPi and EmpireWeb subscribers and the GPi and EmpireWeb home pages to get the full "mall" effect of product offering. Use EmpireWeb to promote your home page through our unique Advertising service. On a rotating basis, we will feature subscribers' display ads in very high-traffic EmpireWeb locations that are visited by thousands. This is a service that promotes your site to random browsers who might never have accessed your company otherwise. #Pricing Unlike other Web hosting services, the GPi - InfoMall team structures its pricing on content, never usage. We realize you don't have much control over the number of "hits" your Web site receives. Instead, we charge for the amount and type of content you host--something that you are directly able to control on a monthly basis. At any point in time you can request an on-line content fee report which will assess your site and give you a price for your current content. A very useful tool in controlling costs! And we will supply you with a secure URL to view a variety of reports on-line that track the activity to your site. #Use EmpireWeb's Domain Name! Do you need a domain name service for your home page? Eliminate the hassles and delays of securing a domain name through normal Internet channels. Use the EmpireWeb domain name of "EmpireWeb" and immediately publish on the Web. Your organization will be easily remembered in the form of "your company.empireweb.com". When people browsing the Web can't figure out where to go next, they'll use the "www.empireweb.com" location; as a result, your organization will immediately be visible to them! If you currently have a domain name (or want a new one) and would like to keep it for this service, we offer that option as well. #Full Usage Statistics It's important to know what your prospects and current customers are looking at on your Web site. GPi/EmpireWeb online activity reports provide information on how many hits your site is receiving, which networks the hits are coming from, and which specific areas of your site are being browsed most often...allowing you to update and create an even more effective site! #GPi Guarantee GPi guarantees 24 hour a day, 7 day a week accessibility. No longer will you have to worry about not being available or incur the costs of redundant networking to ensure accessibility. When it is critical to be on the Internet, Web guarantees you're there.
