Today Hostopia announced the release of 30,000 new images to its library of web-ready graphics used within their suite of site design applications and their site design service, Website Experts.

"These images are perfect for the small-business owner or site developer who wants to customize their website with illustrations and/or photos without having to purchase overly-used, royalty-free images," says Paul D. Engels, Hostopia's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "Hosting providers and customers are legitimately concerned about the recent litigation over the use of royalty-free photography in website templates. Hostopia eliminates this concern as we have unrestricted ownership rights to all the images in our library," he adds.

Hostopia's image library will be updated with the new images by the end of January, 2007. The images are bundled free of charge in all of Hostopia's hosting plans, which are sold by over 330 hosting providers on Hostopia's network, worldwide. The images are easily accessible from Hostopia's various site creation and promotion applications including, EasySiteWizard(TM) 6.0, EasySiteWizard(TM) 7 Professional, Template Gallery, Website Experts, and soon to be released HTML newsletter application. The library features original, royalty-free photos and illustrations indexed by category for easy searching and navigation. Images include popular business and not-for-profit themes including people, landscapes, buildings, electronics, and everyday objects-suitable for business, consumer, or personal websites. The images are all resizable, formatted as GIF files, and a large selection are cropped with transparent backgrounds allowing for seamless integration with other images and website designs.

"These images provide us with exceptional flexibility when creating websites for end-users," says Chris Seepe, General Manager, Website Experts (a division of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hostopia.com Inc.). "Our inventory of thousands of professionally designed website templates combined with the library of 40,000 images gives our customers the ability to customize a site that is original and unique to their needs," he adds.
