Gaylord, Mich. – July 19, 2001 

Deerfield.com®, a leading provider of Internet optimization and connectivity solutions, today announced the future availability of Deerfield WebSite, formerly published as O’Reilly® WebSite Professional, a feature-rich Web server specifically designed for either the experienced power-user with the Pro version, or the novice using the Personal version.

“Deerfield.com is fortunate to represent WebSite on behalf of author, Bob Denny,” said Mike Deerfield, CEO of Deerfield.com. “A testimony of the success of WebSite is apparent through its positioning to date in the marketplace; second only to Microsoft’s IIS, a solution bundled with the Microsoft® Operating Systems for no additional cost, WebSite’s popularity proves the real value of a compelling product.”

"Of the several companies I talked with”, Denny responded, “Deerfield.com stood out clearly as a company that understands Internet server products, both technically and from a marketing perspective. I'm thrilled to be working with them. WebSite has a bright future indeed!"

About Deerfield WebSite 

Deerfield WebSite features the standard web server functions included with its predecessor WebSite Professional 3: Intuitive Interface, providing easy-to-use configuration and administration; Multiple and Virtual Domain Support, allowing users to host multiple sites; Improved Logging, utilizing cycling and archiving to speed performance; and Enhanced Security Support, ensuring a protected platform for both the host and the e-commerce customer visiting.

In addition to the robust power of the Professional version, exclusive to Deerfield WebSite is the introduction of a Personal edition. The Personal edition will target the needs of the emerging small content hosts, such as Home and SOHO users, by featuring a simplified interface with both standard and advanced options, plus support of dynamic IP addresses with DNS2Go.

"One of my goals since 1994 has been to make the web a two-way medium for ordinary people. Over the last six years, WebSite has evolved into a first-rate server that is extremely easy to use yet just as powerful as any other." commented Denny. "Now, with Deerfield.com publishing WebSite, and with our new Personal version, that vision is being fulfilled better than ever."

Deerfield responded, “ The quality of WebSite coupled with the forethought and commitment of Bob Denny are philosophies consistent with those of Deerfield.com. Deerfield Personal WebSite and DNS2Go will revolutionize the simplicity of hosting online content, molding the layman into a Webmaster.”

Deerfield WebSite will be available in Personal and Pro editions at http://website.deerfield.com. Promotional introductory pricing begins at $39.95 for Personal and $299.95 for the Pro version.
