Local graphic design and web site development firm Chrysalis Communications, recently announced the formation of Chrysalis Hosting (www.chrysalishosting.com), a new company division dedicated to providing “ultra-reliable” and affordable internet website hosting services to small businesses and large corporate conglomerates alike.

Managing Director of Chrysalis Communications, Christopher Mills, gave an overview of the services being offered.

"We saw this as a natural progression for our business, but we wanted to separate these services from our core business – that of professional quality graphic design and website development.  With our new hosting infrastructure in place, we will be specializing in virtual web hosting. This means that you can find a home for your website on our high performance web servers and establish your presence on the Internet with your own unique domain name – all at a fraction of the cost of hosting your site in-house, or investing in expensive dedicated servers”.

“Our hosting environment,”, he continued, “is based in the United States and gives our clients the benefits of high performance servers and very high bandwidth connectivity. In addition, we offer powerful pre-installed software, POP and browser based e-mail, 24/7 site monitoring and detailed site statistics, which are available to the client around the clock.”

Mr. Mills, in speaking to their service, and the support options available to their clients said: “Our reliability is guaranteed, and in the unlikely event that you need it, we even offer fast 24 hour online technical support to all our clients, free of charge."

Chrysalis Communications (www.chrysalis.com.jm) entered the local graphic design and website development market in early 2002 and seems to be well on its way to making a name for itself in the industry.

The company offers a wide range of professional design services and has, among other things, produced publications for The University of the West Indies and most recently designed “The Jamaican Child”, publication for the Planning Institute of Jamaica, which has received rave reviews. They have also designed web sites for InfoChannel Limited, P.A. Benjamin Manufacturing Co. Limited, West Indies Home Contractors and most recently, for InfoChannel’s “Net Kyaad” Prepaid Internet Access Card as well as the new corporate website for International Insurance Brokers Limited.
