Description
and Benefits |
|
Webspace |
This
is the amount of space available for your use on
your Virtual Server
|
|
Bandwidth per month |
This
is the amount of "traffic" including
downloading and uploading of your website.
|
|
POP Mailboxes |
Our
email addresses are very flexible. You can set
them up as POP boxes which store mail, email
aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as
autoresponders.
|
Automated Mailing
Lists |
Through
your Web Control Panel you will be able to create
and manage mailing lists for your site. Our
SmartList automated mailing list program allows
you to send email to a large number of your
customers or "opt-in" email contacts.
Few hosting companies included automated mailing
lists with their hosting packages and those that
do charge extra. You can even setup moderated
Discussion Groups and Newsletters with SmartList! |
Web-Based
Shopping Cart |
A
La Cart is a highly configurable, database driven
shopping cart program that can store thousands of
products. You can customize the cart pages with
the "look and feel" of the rest of your
site. Includes a Web-Based Interface for adding
and updating products! |
| Virtual Nameservers |
With
your own personal nameserver you have complete
management of your domain. Your whois interNIC
record will appear with ns.yourdomain.com and
ns2.yourdomain.com and you can add your own custom
configurations to your nameserver using the
control panel. |
Free Domain
Registration
or Transfer |
When
you setup an account with us, we register your
domain name free of charge. If you are moving from
another host, we can help you expedite the move
without incurring any costs or downtime. |
True Domain
(static IP) |
With
us you get your own domain name with a
dedicated IP address. Beware of hosts that offer
virtual hosting, or "fake" domain
accounts -- this means they put several domain
names under the same IP and fool most browsers
into redirecting themselves to a sub-directory on
the server. This method limits the features of
your website and won't allow your domain to be
seen by many search engines and some browsers. |
Web-Based Control
Panel |
Our
incredible Web Control Panel allows you to manage
all aspects of your account through an easy web
interface. With the click of a mouse you can
administer your webspace, setup email accounts,
manage directories, manage mailing lists, access
your cgi-bin, password protect pages, view
graphical stats, setup a shopping cart, and much
more! Sign up for a Reseller account, and you can
even configure the Control Panel with your own
Company Name for your clients! |
|
Front
Page Support |
We
provide support for Microsoft's popular Front Page
Software for managing your site. Through the
control panel you have the ability to toggle the
Front Page extensions on and off for your domain. |
Online Billing and
Account Management |
All
you customer and billing information is
immediately accessible to you via your web control
panel at all times. This makes it easy for you to
keep track of your activity, print invoices, and
change information regarding your account. |
|
Web Forms |
Our
special "form-to-email" program takes
the contents of a form submission and emails you
the data to the address you specify. This is
critical if you want to collect information from
your visitors. |
|
Form to PGP Mail |
This
utility is very similar to Form to Email, except
it uses your PGP key to encrypt the message before
sending it to you. Your PGP key is installed with
the control panel. |
Graphical Visitor
Statistics |
Detailed
usage statistics are generated for all of our
hosting plans. These detailed statistics can show
you what domains are accessing your site, how many
"hits" you are getting, how much data is
being transferred, what type of browser people are
using to look at your site, which search engines
they are coming from, and more. You may use our
built-in analysis program to view your usage
statistics, or a third-party usage stats analysis
program to analyze the raw log files generated in
their account. |
OC12 "OnNet"
Connections |
The
Virtual Server system is connected to the Internet
via one of the fastest Internet backbones
available: 1 OC12 and 2 OC3s (155 Mbps) plug
directly into the OC48 backbones of Global Center
and Qwest just a few floors below our NOC. The
bandwidth of an OC12 is 620 Mbps or about 400
times larger than a T1! |
| POP/Auth
Email |
With
POP/Auth email, mobile users can send and receive
their mail from anywhere around the world using
their domain name. For the mobile user, this is a
great advantage because complicated access files
no longer need to be updated and maintained. Very
few hosting companies offer this because of the
complex programming involved to set it up. |
| Web-Based
Email |
Our
Web Mail Check is a proprietary Web Mail program
that allows you to check and manage email from any
Web Browser. With this slick package, you can even
offer Web Mail on your domain to site visitors! |
| Autoresponders |
An
autoresponder allows you to have an email message
sent automatically whenever someone emails a
specific autoresponder name. For example, you
could set up a price list and have users email
prices@yourdomain.com to immediately receive your
price list by email. |
| Mailing
List Manager |
This
allows you to create and manage automated mailing
lists right from your web browser. You can create
listserv style automated mailing lists and even
integrate them with your web forms for automatic
subscriptions. All you need to do to send mail is
send an email to the list name and it goes out to
all subscribers! |
| FTP
Access |
FTP
is the method you use to upload and download files
to and from your virtual server. |
| Anonymous
FTP Access |
You
can allow anonymous FTP access to visitors wishing
to download or upload files to your web site as if
you were running your own FTP server. |
| Secure
Telnet (SSH) Access |
Many
users are not at all familiar with telnet and just
as many do not need to use it. Telnet allows you
to get a shell on our Unix servers. The
implementation of telnet that we use is called SSH,
which ensures the security of our servers. |
|
Scripting/Developer Features |
System CGI-BIN with
free Scripts |
All
accounts have access to our system cgi-bin for
installing clocks, counters, and setting up web
forms. |
| Personal CGI-BIN |
We
encourage development of highly interactive,
successful sites. For your site to be truly
interactive you need to be able to run computer
programs in your own cgi-bin. Unlike other hosting
companies, we do not restrict you from using
custom scripts. |
Perl, C, Sh, Java,
Python |
We
have enjoyed being a favorite choice of computer
programmers building web sites. For this reason,
we always give programmers the most recent
versions of the hottest programs needed to build
their web applications. |
Access to
pre-installed Perl
and Apache Modules |
Developers
have full access to a slew of pre-installed Perl
and Apache modules so they can develop advanced
scripts. |
| PHP Support |
Not
only do we provide you with PHP support, but the
majority of our system tools and design projects
are done by our staff in PHP. PHP is compiled as a
module with MySQL, gdbm, and gd support. |
| Java Servlets |
Jave
servlets provide developers with a simple,
consistent mechanism for extending the
functionality of a web server and for accessing
existing business systems. With our servlet
support and proprietary Java Servlet Manager, you
have full access to the entire family of Java
API's, including the JDBCTM API to access
enterprise databases. Our Servlet Manager allows
you to setup servlet zones right from your Web
Browser! |
| Flat
File Database |
We
support the simplest form of ascii text
databases. |
MySQL with
Web Setup |
MySQL
is our GNU database of choice. We develop all of
our own products with MySQL or Oracle. We
encourage all mSQL and postgresQL users to migrate
to MySQL. |
|
gdbm |
gdbm
is a simple light standard Unix database which we
support. |
|
ODBC Support |
Allows
you to remotely access databases such as
MS-Access. We can set this up for you for Commerce
and larger packages. |
| Site
Builder Software |
All
clients have access to our Site Builder software
through your control panel. This makes it easy for
anyone to create a basic site directly from your
web browser. If you can surf the web, you can
built your website with this tool! |
| Site Search Engine |
In
the control panel you can specify which
directories you want searchable by our high
powered WAIS index and search utility. You can
then provide users with lightning fast content. |
| Custom error pages |
Because
you get a true virtual sever you can add custom
error pages to all accounts. This ensure that
visitors who land on an outdated page will see be
taken to the main part of your site. |
"Catch-all" email
account |
Our
virtual servers come with a catch-all email
account that will direct anything@yourdomain.com
to the email address you specify. That way, you
never lose mail that is misdirected due to typos
or clients not knowing the correct address. |
Web-Based File
Management |
Our
exclusive File Manager is a very powerful feature.
It allows you to manipulate all the files in your
web site. You are able to create, delete, and move
your files. You can also upload files from your
local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, you
can edit the HTML in any of your files from this
option. Everything you need to manage your site
can be found in this feature. |
| Password Manager |
You
have complete control over changing your passwords
for ftp, your control panel, and POP mailboxes.
This is done through your web control panel. |
Real Audio/Video
Streaming |
We
do not have a real audio/video server. However, we
do support real audio/video streaming for no extra
charge.
When
Real Audio/Video first came out, it required an
audio/video server to be installed on the web
server. This was because Real Audio/Video wanted
to charge for each "stream'" or visitor.
But soon people started writing competitive
audio/video streaming technology that didn't
require a special server. So, to compete, Real
Audio/Video now does not require a server, and you
can even use their free tools to create streaming
audio over the Internet. |
Macromedia

Shockwave allows you to bring your web content to
life. Shockwave support allows your site to host
Shockwave content. |

your site. Mime types are managed through the
control panel. |

we have automated the setup in the Control
Panel. |
