  Features Explained

 

True Domain
This is a domain using a name of your choice (yourname.com) This domain is assigned its own IP# and is not an alias of another IP.


Disk Storage
We give a very generous amount of Web space. Typically, for every 5000 files, you will use about 100 megabytes of Web storage.


Daily Traffic Allowance
The traffic allowance provided per domain is typically much more than a normal user would need. Our serves can accommodate tens of thousands of users per day, however, if you exceed your traffic allowance, you will have to purchase additional bandwidth. Also, please refer to our policies for limitation on certain file protocols.


E-mail Forwarding
You will be able to specify 200 or 1000 different e-mail addresses (depending on your account) in a simple text file and have them each redirected to an e-mail account of your choice.


Unlimited E-mail Alias
We automatically capture any e-mail that may be sent to your domain name, and redirect it to your default mail box. This means that, as long as the @yourdomain.com is proper, all e-mails (including typos) will be captured and forwarded (and not refused). You may also set up aliases, which are e-mail addresses that will be forwarded to the e-mail account of your choice.


FTP/POP
By default with each domain, the main login includes ftp and a pop mailbox.


POP accounts
This is a private storage box for e-mail. It would be accessed by a 3rd party e-mail program like eudora, or netscape. Please note that you cannot store more than 12 megabytes of e-mail on the e-mail server, and e-mail file sizes are limited to 1.5 megabytes per e-mail.


Autoresponders
These are simple text files you place in your domain in a folder called infobots. When e-mail is sent to your domain with the name of one of these files, the file is automatically returned to the sender of the e-mail


Wusage 6.0
This is a very powerful tool for tracking visitors to your site. You will have access to raw Web logs, but in addition to providing the raw logs, we provide a easy to use Web interface which interprets your site logs. With Wusage, you can easily see how many visitors that you had to your site, from where your visitors came, which Web pages they visited on your site, what browser your visitors used and so on.


Majordomo
This is a very flexible tool for interacting with your customers or clients. In simple terms, it's an interactive style newsletter that allows all subscribers to distribute information. There are many configurable features including automatic subscribe and unsubscribe and much more. Each list can e-mail up to 1500 e-mails per day, if you would like to increase the limit e-mail us for pricing.


Referrer Logs
This is a extended logging features that will document from where each visitor to your site came. For example, you will know which search engine is sending you visitors or which Web site is linking to your site and sending you traffic. This is invaluable information when you are planning your site's marketing strategy.


Access to Secure server
Secure server access is provided on all accounts. We use SSL encryption to provide a secure link between your users and our Apache Web server.


Customizable Missing Docs page
By placing a file in your main directory called missing.html you will be able to give a customized page to any viewer that requests a Web page that does not exist.


Server Side Includes
SSI, or Server side includes, allow the server to parse special page commands. For example, if you had a footer you wanted on all your pages that may change from time to time, you can create a text file with the desired footer and place it in your domain. On each page, you put a simple include to read that file and place it at the bottom of the desired pages.


Frontpage 2000
This is Microsoft's Web editor. Frontpage requires that we install special extensions on the Web server so that you may upload your Web pages with a click of a button.


Subscribable Maillists
A maillist will allow your customers to send an e-mail to a special e-mail address so that they will be automatically subscribed to your e-mail newsletter, announcements or periodic mailings. Our Plusmail Web system is capable of multiple lists. A lists can hold up to 1000 e-mail addresses, and your e-mails can be up to 75k in file size.



PlusMail WebControl System
This is our proprietary, web-based administration system, which allows you to handle all aspects of administering your account. For example, you can add/edit your e-mail redirects, mailing lists, subscribable e-mail lists and autoresponders. You can also change read, write or executable permissions on any of the files or directories in your WWW directory. In short, our PlusMail system automates account management.
