Allows small business users to maintain their own content themselves and create restricted sections to their website.

Awecomm Web Hosting, a Michigan-based provider of managed hosting, co-location, and dedicated solutions, today announced the introduction of its new portal web site service, AWHPortal.

Awecomm's portal hosting provides two key advantages to companies. First, if they desire, the customer can maintain their own content by simply using their web browser without the need for special software. This allows them to update their web site as quickly as necessary without waiting for a programmer. Second, they can create 'restricted' sections to their website, providing customers or internal staff with access to private information tailored specifically for them, says the company.

"The value to the small business for websites built on a portal platform is tremendous," says Mark Leidlein, Awecomm's director of sales. "The amount of information and ease of use they can now provide to their customers and employees at such a low cost is extensive. We have converted a number of sites and the response has been very enthusiastic."
