2MHost, a company that provides its custom-developed 2MExpress Web site builder software for free, says the upgrade is designed to reward its customers for their dedicated support, as well as draw new attention.
"The past five years have really defined us as a company, and as we look toward the next five years, it is truly appropriate to pause and thank those who have helped us get here," says 2MHost owner Mike Noman. "At the same time, it is also important for 2MHost to remain an attractive choice for individuals seeking affordable Web hosting."
New customers who do not need the additional space will instead receive a 25 percent discount on their entire Web hosting order, including SSL certificates and domain names. Additionally, 2MHost will randomly select 10 existing customers who have been with the company for four years or more, to receive four additional years of free Web hosting.

The company designed-site builder enables users with limited Web design knowledge, as well as advanced Web masters looking for a quick publishing solution, to create high-performance, effective Web sites.
"2MExpress is unique because it generates 100 percent pure HTML that is friendly to search engines, and users can see exactly what they are doing as they do it," says Mike Noman, 2MHost owner. "We give users a choice from tens of free site designs to use on their sites. Unlike other site building software, we allow users to modify these templates if they choose."
Users can upload images, create photo galleries, set up pre-made Web forms and publish their sites with one click. 2Mexpress enables users to steer clear of any wizards, forms, or other components normally associated with the Web development process.
The 2MExpress service is free for all 2MHost.com customers. The company hopes to extend the service to non-customers in the future, since the system will publish site files to any FTP enabled server.
