iThemes Partners with Doreo to Offer Premium WordPress Hosting

November 25, 2008

One of the top support issues we encounter when helping our customers is helping them get web hosting, then walking through installation of WordPress, and finally then getting their theme activated.

So we contacted Frank Feingold of Doreo, who runs one of the web hosts we refer customers to regularly (because I know they will get taken care of) about the possibility of combining web hosting with our WordPress themes.

We’ve partnered to provide premium WordPress hosting … that includes free WordPress installation and your choice of an iThemes premium theme … for $12.99 a month.

The hosting plan we’ve developed is ideal for small businesses and professionals who want to get a professional-looking site up fast without the hassle of installation.

We’ve got packages for several industries including:

• Real Estate
• Church
• Photography

Here are the details from the press release:

Doreo Hosting, a leading provider of shared and reseller hosting services, announced today a new exclusive partnership with iThemes, maker of premium WordPress blog themes. With the partnership, Doreo has also introduced a new, fully-featured blog hosting plan.

Starting at $12.99/monthly, the new blog hosting plan from Doreo includes a pre-installed version of WordPress, the Web’s most popular and robust blogging platform. Users can also choose from a variety of exclusive blogging add-ons, including a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Bundle, which optimizes the blog software to rank highly in search engine indexes. Doreo’s Publicity Bundle offers a variety of marketing tools for bloggers, and the Statistics Bundle offers access to the latest analytics software.

As part of today’s partnership, each premium blog hosting account will also receive access to a premium WordPress theme (or template) from iThemes at no additional charge (a value of $79.95). iThemes offers nearly two dozen professionally designed themes valued at more than $2,200.

“Blog hosting has been a key strength for Doreo in the past several years, as prospective customers are drawn to our affordable but robust hosting plans that can withstand the frequent traffic spikes that are the prevailing wind in today’s social media,” said Frank Feingold, president of Doreo Hosing. “With today’s introduction of an all-inclusive blog hosting plan, we will be able to deliver more focused and custom-tailored services to bloggers, and offer value-added features that further distinguish Doreo in the hosting marketplace.”

All hosting plans from Doreo also include a myriad of standard features, including the cPanel control panel and MailFoundry, an enterprise-level anti-spam and anti-virus email security solution.
