We offer the leading
features in the industry. They are explained in detail below. Not
all of the virtual accounts we offer include the features explained
below. For the breakdown, look at our price
table.
Setup:
Setup includes all parts
of establishing your domain name on our network. We register or
transfer your domain with the Internic, setup your account on our
servers, and configure the control panel for your account.
Email
Addresses:
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.
Disk
Space (MB):
One MB of disk space
can hold several hundred text pages or images but not as many. Most
sites use less than one or two MB's of disk space.
Data
Transfer:
This is the amount of
network traffic related to your domain. A large number of sites
have less than 1000MB of traffic per month, but popular sites could
use three or four times that.
True
Domain Name:
Each of our web sites
comes with its very own domain name that you decide. So, for example,
the name of the web site might be "www.stocksnprofit.com", or "www.hostu.to".
You can purchase your domain name from us for an extra charge of
$15.00 a year, for the InterNIC fees. Or you may bring a domain
name with you and there will be no other InterNIC fees for the rest
of the current registration period for that domain name. A true
domain is when you get your very own unique IP address on the web
server. Many hosts offer 'fake virtual' domain accounts, which means
they fool most browsers into redirecting themselves to the correct
directory on the server. This method only works with certain browsers,
is not full featured and is not a professional solution.
Static
IP Address:
Each account comes with
a static IP address. A static IP address means the IP address (the
Internet number of your site) never changes. Some hosting companies
use dynamic IP addressing, which means the IP number is different
each and every time you connect to the server or they have several
domains use 1 IP address. A static IP address provides your site
with a never-changing solid Internet address, which allows you to
use it when FTPing files, or pinging your site, etc. A static IP
allows you to have a true domain name.
Free
Domain Registration:
We will complete and
send in your registration form to the InterNIC. The InterNIC has
a separate fee of $15.00 for annual maintenance of your domain name,
for which you will be billed separately. Our new and existing "annual
payment cycle" clients get their domain names for free...no charge!
File
Manager:
The 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.
Archive
Manager:
The Archive Manager will
allow the user to backup and compress their files. For example,
if you have a number of files for which you wish to keep a backup,
you can select all the files, then create a backup file that contains
all of them in compressed format.
FTP:
FTP is used to upload
and download files. Almost all site design programs like Adobe GoLive,
Macromedia Dreamweaver, HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal
Pro, and Netscape Communicator use FTP to maintain your site.
Telnet(SSH):
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 RedHat Linux servers. The
implementation of telnet that we use is called SSH which uses a
secure connection between your computer and the web server.
