Affinity Internet Launches New Robust E-Mail Solution to ValueWeb Customers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Leading Web Services Provider Puts Enterprise Capability in the Hands of Small Businesses With New ValueMail 2.0

Affinity Internet, the leading web services provider for small to medium-sized businesses, today introduced its newly enhanced, robust e-mail solution -- ValueMail 2.0. It is the company's latest advanced service offering, and will be included with its premium hosting brand -- ValueWeb. The new service gives Affinity's small to medium-sized business customers big business spam filtering, storage and functionality, a new highly intuitive user interface and is built on a new fault resilient architecture.

ValueMail 2.0 is the latest offering in the company's overall strategic plan to deliver superior services and support to its customers. It features an industry-leading anti-spam solution from Brightmail and advanced storage capabilities from Network Appliance. Another key element of ValueMail 2.0 is the new user interface, which makes e-mail easier to use and manage.

"ValueMail 2.0 amounts to a big business e-mail system for small businesses that otherwise would not be able to afford the various components," said Peter Chambers, CEO, Affinity Internet. "E-mail has become an important tool for small businesses, but certain headaches come with it, including increased volume and spam. Until now, only large enterprises were able to afford the storage, management and spam prevention we are offering with ValueMail 2.0."
