Account Features Unix
Bandwidth / Transfer
/ Hits
You have unlimited bandwidth on your shared hosting package. Any outbound
traffic from your web site is considered data transfer. FTP uploads do not
count as data transfer. Each time a html file, graphic file or any other
element on your web page is loaded, data transfer is generated.
Disk Storage
Disk storage refers to the amount of server disk storage your account is
allocated. This space is used to store your html files, graphics,
audio/video files and all other files that make up your web site. Your
POP3 emails are not stored in this space. You are allotted an extra 10 MB
of space for your mail spool. Should you require additional space for your
content you will need to upgrade your account to the next shared package.
Number of Domains Per Server
We do not overload our web servers. We bind 1 class C (256) of Ips to each
machine. This ensure that your web site loads fast and is always available
to your visitors.
Static IP Address
Every shared hosting account is configured with a static IP address. This
means that you are given a unique set of numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
specifically assigned to your web space. This allows you to access your
web site via a web browser or development tool regardless of the status of
your domain name. Having your own IP address also gives you the
opportunity of publishing your web site to your new web space before
actually transferring your domain name to our DNS. This results in no down
time when transferring your web site from a another hosting company.
Private Name servers
ns and ns2.yourdomain.com protect your identity and to anyone doing a
whois? query appears as though you maintain your own servers and DNS.
Perfect for a reseller or business hosting multiple domain names.
Setup
Your account will be setup within 24 Hours of placing your order online.
This service is available 24 hours a day 7 days week.

Email Features
Email Accounts
Each of our shared hosting packages comes with unlimited POP3 email
accounts in addition to email forwards and aliases. You have the option to
retrieve email directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an
email program such as Eudora, Outlook or Outlook Express.
Email Aliases / Forwards
Using Email Aliases or forwarders gives you the ability to receive any
email at *@yourdomain.com. Specific email addresses that you want to
forward out of your domain to another email account can be accomplished
through MonsterControls or by editing your .redirect file within your
/home directory. For example you may want to forward all email addressed
to sales@yourdomain.com to an AOL account such as Bob232@aol.com or
another POP3 account on your domain bob@yourdomain.com. The best part
about using aliases or forwards is that the person emailing you never
knows the mail is being redirected.
Email Autoresponders
An autoresponder is a pre-determined message with information you want
automatically sent to anyone who emails a designated email address/mailbox
at your domain.
PGP
PGP is a program that adds privacy to your electronic mail that you send
through our network. It encrypts your mail so that nobody but the intended
person can read it. When encrypted, the message looks like a meaningless
jumble of random characters. PGP has proven itself quite capable of
resisting even the most sophisticated forms of analysis aimed at reading
the encrypted text.
Mail Lists
You can create multiple mail lists based on your customer's interests. You
provide customers an email address they can send an email to and be added
to your personalized mailing list. As soon as customers sign on they are
sent a friendly welcome message. This is a great way to cost effectively
communicate with your customers through monthly newsletters, sales updates
or just a friendly hello. Each list can hold 1000 names and a 75kb message
can be emailed to all the lists you create.

mSQL / mySQL Databases
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a
simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of
information in a corporate network. To add, access and process data stored
in a computer database, you need a database management system such as mSQL/mySQL.
