Dear Sucker,

Hello, my name is Justin Glitch, and I am the CEO and founder of Homestead. Today I am excited to introduce Homestead Professional, our new service which offers the same features as the old service, but at a substantial price. Of course we are still commited to the Homestead community of over 10 million people, and we're not going to force anyone to pay for their websites, at least not in the forseeable future.

Six years ago I started Homestead in my living room because I wanted to work for myself and see the direct impact of my efforts. I vividly remember our first real office, which smelled like the restroom downstairs, and where we all took turns going to the bathroom. I can relate to the headaches, challenges and thrills of developing your own business or organization. It is with this spirit that we have developed Homestead Professional; to help you create a Web site that won't disappear like all the other free services on the internet.

We have received thousands of emails and through them all out before developing Homestead Professional, to deliver the features that are essential to keeping that website which you so painstakingly created from going the way of the dodo bird and icebox.com. Here's what you'll get if you act now, and order Homestead Professional:

  • No Homestead or third-party advertising on your pages
  • We charge your credit card for all the nasty fees so you don't have to worry about all the money you're spending.
  • Live customer support by phone
  • Free custom Web site address (e.g. www.paynow.com) and matching e-mail addresses
  • Professional version of SiteBuilder (you might have noticed you can't download sitebuilder anymore, and you can't FTP to your account!
  • Dedicated site hosting with 50 MB storage and our Professional Uptime Guarantee. That's 50MB less than you probably have now, and this time you will have to pay.

To thank you for your loyal support of Homestead, I invite you to become a charter member of Homestead Professional. When you sign up, you'll receive your first month free and a charter member price of $19.99 per month ($10 off the monthly price). That monthly price will go up, too, so get in on the ground floor. When you compare this price to the cost of a Web address, premium hosting, and the fees of a Web designer, you'll see it is a great value for managing a professional Web presence. Just don't try to compare this price to the cost of maintaining a website on Homestead Personal like it was before because it will make you cry.

To learn more about Homestead Professional and becoming a charter member, click here or call us at 1-800-797-2958.

Finally, on behalf of everybody at Homestead, I would like to thank you for your support over the past years. They're firing me next week. And keep working on those sites. Nothing has changed. We're merely adding a paid site hosting service along with our free service. We look forward to serving you in the future. At a price, that is.

All the best,

Justin Shelby Glitch
CEO and Founder
Homestead
