The all inclusive website package provides entrepreneurs with an effective platform for getting their business online quickly and easily.

Without the need for software, SMBs can manage and edit their website content at any time with an internet connection. With a wide range of professional and easy to use features, like sector specific images and text, optimization for mobile devices and social media functionality, users can efficiently create an online presence and promote their business on the Web.

For any veteran that is trying to be a business owner, a solid infrastructure and reliable vendors that can help you grow and succeed are key,” said Santiago Valdizan, a US veteran and owner of Joint Technology Solution Inc., www.jtsi.net. “As a small business, 1 &1 MyWebsite has provided me the opportunity to interact with potential and existing clients on a level that my competitors cannot. The website gives my customers a clear insight into who Joint Technology Solution, Inc. is and advertise our most recent work contracts. I am living proof that 1 &1 MyWebsite can help accomplish these goals. 1 &1 has made my life easier and my company stronger.

Veterans can sign up for 1 &1 MyWebsite Plus package at veteran.mywebsite.com and provide accepted forms of military identification upon ordering. Available to new customers only, the first 6 months will be free of charge and then be charged at $19.99/month thereafter.

 SugarSync iOS App Updated

The SugarSync app for iOS has been updated for iOS 6, and the update is available for download now! The new app has been optimized for iOS 6, which also means that it now has support for the larger/taller screen on the iPhone 5 as well. In addition to iOS 6 optimizations and the taller format, the changes made in the previous app upgrade are also present. These include:

  • The new app update brings support for both Spanish and German languages to the app.
  • You can now upgrade your 5GB account to a 30GB paid account right from within the app.
  • The new app has improved the security of sharing folders so that shared folder invitation links will be sent through SugarSync as opposed to your personal email.
