Free Website Builder with Over 1 Million Active Users Releases New Feature

Moscow, Russia, August 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- uCoz, a free website building system with over one million active websites, has received a major update, just before its seventh birthday. The new feature was added to keep up with the company’s climb on the traffic charts, currently standing in Alexa’s Top 200 websites. Building upon its sound success in Eastern European markets, the team that developed the award winning hosted content management system has just released its 22nd system module feature. In line with current internet trends and needs of users around the world, the Video module was fully released to the public, after two months of beta testing. This module was developed in close cooperation with users, complying with the requests of webmasters and the general parameters of the online video market.

“We strive to do our best in responding to the ever growing demands of the web-space. And a significant part of these demands right now are focused around video platforms. Through this launch, we plan to encourage the creation and distribution of quality video content by maximizing the efficiency of integration into web projects. And, when you have or want to create any type of website, you have to differentiate more than ever,” said Evgeny Kurt, uCoz’s CEO.

This new feature will boast an increased efficiency in updates, especially for v-blogs, entertainment, tutorials, and social oriented websites created with uCoz. Another of its assets will be an increased level of visitor engagement, since video content oriented projects are gaining popularity every year, from a statistical standpoint.
Also, uCoz users will be able to easily integrate videos from popular video sharing services, like YouTube, on the fly. This integration will be possible without the need for special coding, simply by adding links. Moreover, users will be able to upload videos onto the most popular file sharing services directly through their websites, by linking their accounts. The release also strives to enhance the company’s mission: to allow anyone with a PC and an internet connection to create an unlimited number of free websites.
