Missoula, MT, November 7th, 2003 – Modwest today announced the introduction of an $8.95/month “Starter Plan”, available immediately, which marks the first time the company has participated in the under-$10 hosting market. The company explained the move by pointing to recent enhancements to its load-balanced clustering system.

“In 2003, we have focused on improving the scalability of our technical infrastructure. Now that we have accomplished a number of important advances, we are geared up to stimulate growth by entering the lower-priced market,” said John Masterson, Modwest co-founder and VP.

For nearly four years, Modwest has provided open-source web hosting services, including a robust and secure environment for PHP developers. The company’s award-winning hosting platform, recently recognized in the HostIndex.com “Top 25 Best Hosts” list, supports hosting customers in 50 countries.
