NetMechanic Announces Partners Program

Huntsville, AL-- (June 1, 1999)--NetMechanic, the leading independent Web site maintenance and monitoring company, announces the formation of its Partners Program. Designed to give users more choices in making Web site improvements, the program has already forged mutually beneficial alliances with over 150 industry and projects relationships with hundreds more companies.

"Our customers and our partners will both benefit from the free exchange of information and ideas the NetMechanic Partners Program intends to foster," said Jeff Morgan, CEO of NetMechanic. "With this union of vision, strategy, and products, webmasters and designers will have access to the very best tools for web site maintenance and monitoring. This program is our commitment to customers, resellers, and third party companies alike."

NetMechanic's services offer web designers a number of benefits including higher quality web sites and lower design costs. Partners benefit from strong branding and reduced customer support through automated testing of user sites. Leading web design shops and hosting companies have integrated or cobranded NetMechanic tools to have the same look and feel as their web site. This business model gives ISPs and design shops a service discriminator thereby helping them attract and retain customers.

The cooperative environment will make NetMechanic's free and subscription services available to more users worldwide. "It is in NetMechanic's long-term interest to foster and maintain excellent relationships with web hosting and design shops. We have dedicated staff in place to achieve this goal. Instead of trying to outdo one another, we are putting our heads together to offer the best quality and availability of service known to users," said Morgan.

Partners in the program will be available to NetMechanic's user community, which currently stands at over 42-thousand Web sites. The resultant integrated environment for NetMechanic services will focus on Web site improvement, maintenance, analysis and monitoring. Internet Presence Providers, Service Providers, and Design Shops are attracted to NetMechanic's services based on the reputation and quality of service NetMechanic upholds.

"Communication is the key to a successful business-to-business partnership. This alliance is a unique opportunity for hosting companies to join forces to offer customers a much-needed service. We benefit not only through an ongoing revenue stream but also reduced storage and maintenance," said Bill Snowdon, Vice President of Weblink Communications, Inc., a leading national Design Shop based in Clearwater, FL.

More About NetMechanic...

NetMechanic's superior online services are targeted toward webmasters who outsource their site hosting to an Internet Service Provider or Internet Presence Provider. Since these users do not have control of the computer hosting their site, existing desktop or server-based maintenance applications cannot adequately address their needs for Web site improvement, monitoring and promotion. NetMechanic addresses these concerns by monitoring and testing sites from strategically located remote web servers operated by their own service, allowing easy setup with no software downloads.

NetMechanic provides a full range of site maintenance tools in the NetMechanic Pro service and site monitoring with Server Check Pro. The primary components of the NetMechanic Pro product include Spell Check, Load Time Check, Link Check, HTML Check, and Browser Compatibility services. These services are offered in both free and subscription versions which will test sites of all sizes. NetMechanic also offers a subscription service, Server Check Pro, that monitors web servers 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Monte Sano Software, LLC, an Internet software development firm based in Huntsville, Alabama developed NetMechanic.
