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 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.
Our email addresses
are very flexible. You can set them up as POP or IMAP boxes which store mail,
email aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as autoresponders.
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.
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.
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.gameznflix.com", or
"www.webesystems.com". 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.
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 FTP'ing files,
or pinging your site, etc. A static IP allows you to have a true domain
name.
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!
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.
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 is used to upload
and download files. Almost all site design programs like Adobe PageMill,
Macromedia DreamWeaver, GoLive, HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio,
HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to
maintain your site.
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.
