Pasadena, California – Karelia Software today shipped Sandvox 2.10 and announced a new Sandvox Hosting service. Sandvox 2.10 now provides access to the new Sandvox Hosting service in this significant update to its award-winning website building software for OS X. New Sandvox Hosting provides fundamental hosting from directly within Sandvox, integrated and optimized for hosting most Sandvox sites.
“Sandvox Hosting makes hosting a Sandvox site easier than ever,” said Dan Wood, president of Karelia Software. “We created Sandvox from the idea that anybody should be able to create a website without having to learn HTML. Now, the combination of Sandvox 2.10 and Sandvox Hosting lets you publish a site by just entering your name and email address, and choosing a password. It’s that easy.”
The combination of Sandvox 2.10 and Sandvox Hosting provides customers an easy mechanism for hosting their site without the complexity of configuring a hosting setup. Sandvox users simply sign up directly from Sandvox and click the Publish button for a live website in minutes. Sandvox Hosting is available exclusively to Sandvox customers, for use only with Sandvox.
Sandvox users can now choose Sandvox Hosting, or configure their hosting setup to use a traditional hosting provider. Sandvox 2.10 also provides a streamlined experience for setting up a traditional host.
Sandvox Hosting is optimized for the vast majority of Sandvox websites, however, those sites with specific server-side processing will want to continue to use a traditional hosting provider.
Sandvox users can try Sandvox Hosting for 14 days. Sandvox Hosting packages are available on a monthly basis, or by choosing from three yearly subscription options that include a privately-registered domain name. Sandvox Hosting supports custom domain name acquisition, domain aliasing and email forwarding.
