Christian.com Debuts As Home On The Web For Christians

DALLAS, TX (PRWEB) September 13, 2004 –

Â? Christian.comÂ?, one of the mostly highly sought after domain names in the Christian marketplace, formally launched a groundbreaking new website, seeking to become the preferred homepage on the Web for Christians in the U.S. and around the world.

The website provides one place on-line where Christians can check email, read daily news, and search the Web. By also providing Bible and Christian content, the site strives to link a ChristianÂ?s faith with their daily on-line activities.

Â?Christians live in the real world, and need a good search engine, news, weather, and email just like everyone else,Â? says Christian.com President Lee Raney. Â?But Christians also want Bible tools and articles to help them grow in their faith, and our site combines a ChristianÂ?s spiritual needs with their daily life.Â?

Special features, such as family-safe web search, daily news, and local weather forecasts make Christian.com an alternative homepage to other popular homepage sites such as Yahoo. Christians can grow from articles and devotional material from nationally acclaimed Bible teachers and pastors. In addition, those signing up for email service will have @christian.com as part of their email address.

Many Christians want more on their Web homepage than what the major websites have to offer, according to Scott Swoboda, president of ChurchSites.com, a Web site hosting company for hundreds of churches and Christian organizations.

Â?Christians have interests on the Web that sites like Yahoo and MSN.com do not include at all,Â? Swoboda said. Â?Christian.com is in a unique position to become a major niche portal for Christians.Â?

The Barna Group reports there are 80-85 million born again Christians in the United States. But with the rapid growth of Internet usage in other countries, Christian.com already has an eye on the larger market of the estimated two billion Christians worldwide.

Â?We want to become a global website serving and on-line community of millions of Christians around the world,Â? Raney said. Â?The initial site is in English, but the email service is already offered in 12 languages, including Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese, making Christian.com one of the most global Christian websites from the very beginning.Â?

Registration on Christian.com is free, and each registered member receives a free Basic Mail account similar to the free web-based email services offered by Yahoo and Hotmail. For $ 9.95 a year, users can upgrade to Premium Mail to receive 500 MB of storage, more advanced spam filtering and virus protection, the language translation capabilities, and more.

In the shopping section, there are more than 150,000 Christian books, music, and gifts to choose from with discounts of 25-40% off. Special “Channels” on the site offer something for everyone, including a Bible Channel, Singles Channel, and Christian Kids Channel.

Â?Our goal is to become the homepage of choice among Christians – the first page Christians see when they go on the web each day.Â? Raney said.

Christian.com is a service of Christian.com Media Group, Inc. The Dallas-based company owns and operates other websites as part of the Christian Web NetworkÂ?. These sites include TryJesus.com, which answers question about Jesus Christ and Christianity, and DiscussThePassion.com, an unofficial discussion forum for Mel GibsonÂ?s The Passion of the Christ.

Christian web hosting has been revolutionized by Web Hosting Christian.com

(PRWEB) June 29, 2004

Premier Christian web hosting company Web Hosting Christian.com – http://www.webhostingchristian.com) — has introduced a range of new promotional perks that will revolutionize Christian web hosting services.

Web Hosting Christian specializes in providing a variety of Christian web hosting services. From Church web hosting to web hosting for Christian organizations, companies and individuals, Web Hosting Christian.com offers a wide range of web hosting plans.

Recently, Web Hosting Christian released news that it is giving its websites professional marketing and promotion for their websites — which would normally cost thousands — for free. The only catch is that to get these free services, the site needs to be hosted by Web Hosting Christian. But since Web Hosting Christian is a devoutly religious company that gives a portion of its proceeds back to Christian charities, this is an easy move to make for most Christian website owners.

For more information on switching to Web Hosting Christian, visit their website at http://www.webhostingchristian.com.

The free website promotion provided by Web Hosting Christian begins with the Global Christians Network. This massive network of religious websites from around the world is an amazing portal where believers unite to surf the Internet. When you sign up for a hosting plan with Web Hosting Christian, your website automatically becomes a lifetime member of this network. Furthermore, your site is showcased in the Network’s homepage! You can check out the Global Christians Network by visiting their website: http://www.globalchristiansnetwork.com.

According to WebHostingChristian.com, the Global Christian Network offers a way for a website, which might normally be overlooked in the enormity of cyberspace, to reach a rather large audience: the entire world.

Research shows that the Global Christians Network builds with each site that joins it. Joining the Network is actually free; website owners join automatically when they sign up for one of Web Hosting Christian’s inexpensive hosting plans.

Additionally, Web Hosting Christian submits all of their hosted websites to the largest search engines every month, helping it appear in the top search results of Yahoo, Google, AOL and many more.

Web Hosting Christian also encourages link-swapping among its clients. Several times a year they offer their patrons the chance to have a link to their websites placed on the most popular sites in the Global Christians Network.

So, in summary, as more and more websites sign up on the Global Christians Network, the more popular each individual website will become.
