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.
Personal SMTP Server
You have a personal SMTP mail server on each domain you
host with . This mail server enables you to send mail
out through your domain at mail.yourdomain.com
Wmail Mail
Lets you view, delete and manage all of your email
accounts through the convenience of your web browser.
