Global Web to Offer Website Service Including Free Design by Professional Designer and Domain Name Registration
Customer Pays Only for Hosting Service
- GlobalWeb
Tokyo – March 29, 2007 – GMO Hosting & Security Group company, Global Web, today launched a website service combining Global Web website building technology with the GMO Hosting & Security hosting service. The user pays only the rental server costs and receives a high quality 20-page website with Flash®.
As people become more active on the Internet, it is becoming increasingly important not only for corporations but also restaurants, hair salons and other small and medium businesses to efficiently transmit and receive information through a website.
Nowadays companies investigating the cost of having a web design firm develop a website are likely to receive quotations that vary by as much as several hundreds of thousands of yen. This huge price discrepancy makes it difficult for small and medium businesses to know which company to chose and may delay the overall process of getting a website up on the Internet.
It is for this reason that Global Web has released a low cost web site construction service with a clear pricing structure aimed especially at small and medium businesses. The new low cost web site construction and hosting service package includes a stylish and reliable website delivered fast, at a low cost.
Web Site Service
The web site service is aimed at individuals and small and medium companies wanting to build a high quality website but lacking the website construction technology to do so. Our website service is packed with business features and includes free domain registration. In fact, the customer need only pay the cost of the web hosting service necessary to put information up on the Internet. Low cost, high quality websites are created by Korean designers using sophisticated web design technology.
Global Web has a range of over 150 sample sites from which customers select a layout. The designer then uses that sample to create a new site incorporating the customer’s preferences regarding positioning of buttons, color scheme and Flash®. Now customers can create a unique website without huge expense and without any knowledge of web design.

Comment from Global Web CEO, Yuichi Furuya
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is promoting a ubiquitous society through such goals as ensuring 100% of citizens have access to high speed or very high speed networks and 80% of citizens feel that ICT is secure by 2010***. Broadband infrastructure is expanding and increasing demand for website construction can be expected. Our flagship product is a service plan that includes free construction of a 20 page website and free domain registration. We only charge for web hosting. We are providing a service for customers who up until now have found website design too expensive and to those who are looking for a low price high quality service. It is our mission to create a service structure that is easy to understand and to provide low cost, high quality web site construction.
