-> ARTICLE #1: Virtual Domain Price REDUCTION! =================
---> Relevant for VD accounts ==================================
================================================================

Starting October 1st the price of WSO Virtual Domain accounts
will be $34.95/month.  That is a $5.00/month price reduction. 
Every month we add new features that increase the value of your
WSO account and now we've even lowered prices.

All price changes will be reflected on your next billing cycle.
Unfortunately we can not offer retroactive refunds for recently
paid accounts.


================================================================
-> ARTICLE #2: Multiple Account Discounts ======================
---> Relevant for VD accounts ==================================
================================================================

Starting October 1st (in conjunction with our price reduction),
we are going to start a multiple account discount program for
Virtual Domain accounts only. The new pricing structure will
look like this.

1st VD Account: $34.95/month
Each VD Account After 1st: $29.95/month

There are some rules to quality for this discount.  The contact
and billing information for each account must be the same,
otherwise you will be given the one time referral credit
instead.  Also, if you are buying a Virtual Domain account for
resale to another customer, you become the technical contact
for that customer, they should not contact us directly for
tech support.

All price changes will be reflected on your next billing cycle.
Unfortunately we can not offer retroactive refunds for recently
paid accounts.


================================================================
-> ARTICLE #3: "SecureView" Works with FrontPage Only Accounts =
---> Relevant for FPO accounts =================================
================================================================

Our latest addition to the WSO SupportCenter is the "SecureView"
utility. It gives WSO users the ability to securely view the
contents of a text file, even if you don't own a secure
certificate! The file you wish to view must be located within
your web space area. 

Originally SecureView could not be used with FrontPage Only
accounts, but we've made some changes and SecureView is now
available to all WSO customers.

For all the details on SecureView please see last month's
newsletter at: http://www.wso.net/news12.htm


================================================================
-> ARTICLE #4: KoolCat No Longer Available Except at WSO =======
---> Relevant for ALL account types ============================
================================================================

The KoolCat shopping cart software is no longer available as a
stand alone product since the Miva Corporation has discontinued
this line of software in favor of their "top of the line"
replacement, called Miva Merchant.  Fortunately, because of the
way KoolCat was originally licensed, we can still offer it as
part of our Budget Commerce account.

http://www.wso.net/budget.htm

This is a great way to get started using an on-line shopping
system and there are NO start-up costs, just the regular monthly
fee of $18.95.  This gets you all the features listed at the
above web page.  This includes additional disk space, FREE
secure server use and the very latest version of KoolCat (it
even includes some bug fixes that we did ourselves, these are
not available ANYWHERE else).

In addition, our KoolCat version can interface with a company
called "Credit Card Network".  After setting up an account with
them we can finish the interface between your WSO Budget
Commerce account and CCN. This gives you real-time credit card
processing ability. Although real-time is nice, in most cases it
is not needed and consideration should be given to simply "hand
processing" credit card orders.

So, if you are not ready to purchase Miva Merchant (currently
$495) you might want to consider the WSO Budget Commerce
account.


================================================================
-> ARTICLE #5: Miva Merchant v1.1 Arrives ======================
---> Relevant for VD, NV, BC accounts ==========================
================================================================

In the wake of KoolCat comes Miva Merchant.  A highly
sophisticated shopping cart system. The details are to abundant
to list here, please check out this web site for more info.

http://www.miva.com/products/merchant/

All WSO customers who have a valid KoolCat license will soon be
getting information on how to get your FREE Miva Merchant
upgrade.

If you are interested in purchasing Miva Merchant for use on
your own WSO Virtual Domain, please contact us at sales@wso.net
