In August, 2009, HostEase announced that it had launched the support of Alipay — the major online payment method in China. The Eastern country has become one of the most important markets for hosting industry. A research for CRINORDIC.COM indicates that there are 384 million Internet users in China by the end of 2009, among which the need of web hosting are growing rapidly.

There’s some web hosting providers that have already started their business in China. It would be hard work to get better position in the ever-growing market, fortunately the support of Alipay laid a solid foundation for our entering Chinese market.

You may ask what Alipay is. Well, it is a popular payment method in China. Alipay is to Chinese users what Paypal is to us. It is known and trusted by many Chinese users on the Internet.

According to a report of China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), the number of Chinese Internet users reaches 320,000,000 by the end of May, 2009, out of which 62.5% are Alipay users. That is to say, 6 out of 10 Chinese Internet users are using Alipay, it is quite a large number. Now there are only several web hosting companies introduce Alipay as a means of payment.

“But is there anything to do with me?”You may ask. Well, you will probably never need such Alipay. But there are always needs on it in some other place of the world, and HostEase makes every reasonable effort to meet its users’ needs.
