Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - June 28, 2006 - Webhosting company, and subsidiary of United Internet, 1 and 1 Internet, has debuted a free, feature-packed blogging tool to accompany all web hosting packages from $2.99 a month. Blogs have grown hugely in popularity, with more people discovering that an online journal of experiences and opinions can be an exciting means to communicate online.

According to search engine Technorati, the number of blogs in the Blogosphere doubles around every five months. In particular, 1 and 1 has responded to demand from US small businesses who wish to use blogs for relationship building and online brand development, as well as private users that want to assign an individual domain name rather than a long URL.

Andreas Gauger, Chairman of 1 and 1 explained, ”We live in an information society. Blogging is clearly here to stay and increasingly becoming an essential tool in today’s web savvy culture. We have long-stated our commitment to giving users every resource they need for an optimal web presence. 1 and 1 Blog is a further example of that approach.”

An important feature of 1 and 1 Blog is that a user can assign a bespoke domain name as opposed to an ugly generic URL, and so give a blog more identity and credibility. 1 and 1 Blog is template-driven and features a fast set-up.

Further benefits include:

- 1 and 1 DynamicContent - 1 and 1’s free news and entertainment content
- 1 and 1 PhotoGallery, automatic updates and spam protection. This enables users to set up very easily a Blog through a one-click template selection with RSS feed generation, drag-and-drop image posting and static pages like ”About me” or a photo gallery page.

According to Technorati, the Washington Post, New York Times and CNN cumulatively posted between 40,000 and 55,000 bloggers to their sites in January of this year, proving that blogging has permeated mainstream media. Gauger added, ”Blogs are now respected as a valuable addition to the web and offer a powerful way to express yourself or your business.”

1 and 1 Internet Inc. is a subsidiary of United Internet, a public company with 6,000 employees and a market cap of $3 billion. 1 and 1 was established in 1992 and hosts more than 5.6 million domain names, while 30,000 servers run on the company’s four data centers. 1 and 1’s global community is 5 million customer contracts strong, with company U.S. headquarters located in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania.
