FatCow among the first hosts to integrate Google Custom Search into a hosting control panel

BURLINGTON, Mass., February 9 - FatCow (www.fatcow.com), a leader in Web hosting services will now provide customers the ability to easily incorporate Google Custom Search technologies into their Web site, directly from their hosting control panel. In addition to this free service, customers also have the option to upgrade to Google Site Search for enhanced controls over branding, presentation and indexing with On-Demand Indexing.

High quality site search has been shown to improve user experience, increase user engagement and frequently leads to higher conversions on Web sites. Incorporating Google Custom Search into FatCow's hosting platform allows customers to manage all their Web site services through a single interface, simplifying the process of building and optimizing a Web site, and saving Webmasters time, so they can focus on user needs rather than Web site maintenance.

"FatCow is among the first hosts to integrate Google Custom Search. Our customers were asking for a simple way to help their site visitors find what they were looking for," explains Mitch Haber, Vice President of Product Management at FatCow. "Not only is Google Custom Search the best customizable search engine available, it's quick and easy to implement, and is free with any FatCow account."

"Our goal at Google is to engineer ease and simplicity across the board, from the user who is searching, to the Webmaster who is building," said Rajat Mukherjee, Group Product Manager for Google Custom Search. "Having Google Custom Search and Google Site Search integrated into FatCow is a tremendous leap forward in providing more Webmasters access to Google search technologies, and improving user experience on the Web."

All FatCow customers can now:

• Add a customized site-search box that enables visitors to search the customer site, a group of select sites, or the Internet.
• Utilize numerous tools to help increase Web site conversions and sales.
• Generate revenue through Google AdSense.
