‘ZOHO DOT IN’ suite for micro-business

Today every business, no matter how small demands a Web presence. But buying a domain name, creating email identities for a staff of anything from  1 to 25; using basic office tools for writing letters,  making presentations, keeping accounts  and storing all office files and   creating a  virtual  shopping window for your offerings  can add up to a tidy initial investment.

Now Chennai-headquartered global provider of  business solutions - Zoho Corp. is giving all this for free to  small Indian businesses.  Last week it  launched Zoho.in ( "Zoho Dot In") a suite of free applications  which cover all these startup costs including a free domain name ( .in  and .co) and  a do-it-yourself  tool to design and create your own website. Up to 25 email IDs are free with 5 GB  storage per person as well as 5GB of shared storage with ZOHo Docs, the company's flagship office suite.  

"It is our way of giving a helping hand to  small enterprises and  saying 'thank you' to  India whose innovation has  fuelled our global business", says  Zoho's founder-CEO Sridhar Vembu.
