Scribehost welcomes weblogs.com refugees

Scribehost presents a special offer to weblogs.com refugees in the wake of the sudden closure of weblogs.com's free blog hosting service.

(PRWEB) June 17, 2004 -- In the wake of the sudden closure of weblogs.com's free blog hosting, Scribehost (www.scribehost.com) offers the newly-dispossessed a home. The original persons behind the weblogs.com free hosting are offering some assistance, in the form of redirects from former sites and - over the course of a few days - exported site data, some going back three years. People frequently have problems when moving from a free site to a paid hosting environment, largely because they have to learn new software tools to maintain their site. Scribehost has built itself to cater to these users - users who know what they want to do, but aren't sure which tools to use to get the job done.

To help make the change easier, Scribehost is offering one month free, assistance with domain registration, and no setup fees. Scribehost is also offering assistance in migrating from Weblogs.com, including initial account setup, data importation, and help using their new blogging tool. Our staff are familiar with several blogging software packages, commercial, open source, and free; and can help with importing, configuration, and customization.

Until the end of June 2004, former weblogs.com users can sign up with Scribehost and get:

* no signup fee

* third month free (hosting credit)

* assistance migrating to your new blogging tool

All hosting accounts include a 30 day money back guarantee, as well as referral bonuses that can be earned from the first day with us. Interested bloggers can visit our site for further details, including how they can claim their special deal.
