the number of visitors
accessing your website or the
number of pages that are
viewed. |

Addon Domains (host up to
21 domains on one account)
Addon domains can be pointed
to any subdirectory, page or
external URL, and appear as
separate websites, without the
need to purchase additional
hosting accounts. Each account
can host up to 20 Addon
domains in addition to the
primary domain. Each Addon
domain includes real time
traffic statistics, and up to
100 separate mailboxes with
autoresponders which can be
forwarded to any single or
multiple email addresses. |
20 |
|
Unrestricted Content
We do not restrict the type of
content that can be hosted on
our servers under any hosting
plan as long as the content
does not violate any law. |
|
|
OC-48 Connection
The hosting servers are
connected to the Internet via
multiple Redundant OC-48
Connections which are
48 times faster than a
standard T3 connection (used
by most hosting companies).
|
included
|
|
Advanced Monitoring
All shared servers are
monitored by our staff
24/7/365 to reduce the
possibility of prolonged
downtime. We make automatic
remote connections to all
services (Apache, QMail, DNS,
MySQL, FTP, and ASP) every 5
minutes to make sure they are
running and responding
correctly.
We are often asked by our
customers how we can keep most
servers running 120 days or
longer without a single
reboot. The secret is our
proprietary ProcessWatch™
server side management utility
which works inside the server
to identify and remove zombie
processes which utilize a high
percentage of the CPU or
memory resources, and have
been running for over a
certain amount of time. Most
users do not know that a
single line of bad code in
almost any programming
language can bring down an
entire server, so making sure
such scripts are disabled
prior to causing any harm is a
key factor in maintaining
uptime and fast page loading.
This advanced technology
handles potential problems
before they take the server
down, avoiding multiple
reboots and downtime. In
addition to automatically
disabling runaway processes,
our staff is automatically
notified each time a resource
violation occurs along with
the exact details of the
scripts or commands used to
cause the potential crash.
This allows us to effectively
micro manage a virtually
unlimited number of servers
with the same effectiveness. |
included
|
|

|
Domain Registration:
Hosting customers,
registration and annual
renewal fee for one .com,
.net, .org,. Info, .biz, .us,
.web.st, .us.vu, .uk.vu, .us.fm,
or .uk.fm FREE for 3 years.
This is included in our
Website Development Packages. |
|
Compatibility:
We host all top level domain
names including .com, .net,
.org, .tv, .us, .info, .biz, .co.uk,
.ca, .com.au, .de, .fr, .il,
.it, etc.. Each account
includes a fully delegated
primary and secondary DNS
server. Our DNS setup is
accepted by domain registries
such as .au and .ru who check
DNS configurations prior to
processing any changes, so DNS
transfers are accepted on the
first try. There is no charge
to transfer your existing
domain from another host. |
|
Unlimited Subdomains:
There is no limit on the
number of subdomains (sub.domain.com)
that can be set up. Subdomains
can be created and managed
with our web based Subdomain
Manager which also enables
each Subdomain to be forwarded
to any external URL, IP
Address, or local webpage.
Each subdomain also includes
real time traffic statistics. |
|
DNS Management:
Our online control panel
enables real time management
of all DNS records such as NS,
A, CNAME, and MX. This utility
provides root access to the
actual DNS zone file for easy
editing. |
|
Wildcard DNS:
Our DNS Manager supports
Wildcard DNS entries for
instantly enabling all
inactive subdomains. |
|
SPF Record:
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
is the new protocol for
identifying forged email
senders. Each domain hosted on
our DNS platform includes a
default SPF record in its DNS
zone file to ensure mail
delivery to SPF enabled mail
servers. |
|
Private Label DNS:
Our system allows you to use
your own domain as a DNS
server (i.e. ns1.yourname.com
and ns2.yourname.com) for
other domains you own as well
as your primary domain itself. |
Email
Features:
|
POP3 Mailboxes
Each account includes up to
1000 unique POP3 mailboxes.
For example, info@yourname.com,
john@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com,
etc.. Each mailbox can have
its own password for
retrieving messages. POP3
mailboxes on our servers can
be set up to receive mail and
forward it at the same time.
All email administration is
done through our online
control panel. |
1000 |
|
Mail Forwarding Aliases
The mail forwarding feature
allows you to forward all
incoming messages to a
specially configured mailbox
(alias) to another email
address within or outside of
your domain. For example,
suppose you are the only
person receiving mail for your
website, but you would like 5
separate email addresses
(info@domain.com, sales@domain.com,
joe@domain.com, etc.), you can
set up one mailbox called
"info" and set up the other
aliases to be forwarded to
that mailbox automatically.
This way you would only need
to check the main "info"
mailbox for messages.
There is no limit on the
number of Mail Forwarding
Aliases. |
Unlimited |
|
Mail Groups
Mail groups are designed to
receive email at one central
mailbox and then have it
forwarded to a designated
group of internal or external
mailboxes.
There is no limit on the
number of Mail Groups. |
Unlimited |
|
Autoresponders
Autoresponders automatically
send a selected reply upon
receipt of each incoming
message. Any mailbox including
catch-all and forwarded can
have an autoresponder enabled.
The Autoresponder Manager
allows creation and management
of multiple autoresponders.
There is no limit on the
number of Autoresponders. |
Unlimited |
|
Catch All Mailbox
A Catch All Mailbox is a
default mailbox that receives
messages addressed to any
non-existent mailbox and
forwards them to a designated
address. For example, if a
message is sent to inf@yourname.com
instead of info@yourname.com,
you would still receive that
message. |
included
|
|
Mail Bouncer
By default mail to all
non-existent recipients is
rejected by the server. We
have developed an extremely
efficient method of rejecting
such mail, as our server first
checks for the existence of a
recipient's mailbox when the
sending mail server first
attempts to make an SMTP
connection. If both the
specified and catch-all
mailboxes do not exist at the
recipient's domain, our server
rejects the incoming
connection with an error
message that says, "User does
not exist". This causes the
sending mail server to
terminate its connection, and
send a failure notice to the
sender containing our server's
error message. This system not
only reduces Spam, as it lets
Spammers know that we do not
accept connections with random
addresses, but also greatly
increases server performance,
as our server processes and
sends out less mail. |
included
|
|
Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
All accounts include an
unrestricted, password
protected SMTP mail server to
send outgoing mail to and from
any domain or email address. |
included
|
|
Web Based Email
Our advanced, Webmail /
Personal Assistant combines
all powerful features of
popular PC based email clients
such as Outlook and Eudora
with the flexibility of web
based email. Web Based Email
allows you to send and receive
email from any POP3 mailbox
anywhere (even those not
hosted with us) using a web
browser on any computer with
an Internet connection.

IMAP / IMAP SSL
IMAP is a method of accessing
email messages on a server
without having to download
them to your local hard drive.
The advantage of using an IMAP
mail server is that users can
check their mail from multiple
computers and always see the
same messages. This is because
the messages stay on the
server until the user chooses
to download them to his or her
local drive. Most webmail
systems are IMAP based, which
allows people to access to
both their sent and received
messages no matter what
computer they use to check
their mail. For added
security, our IMAP server
supports SSL connections. |
included
|
| Spam Filter
Our proprietary Spam Filter
provides control over email
delivery at the server level
by automatically deleting
unwanted email messages
containing Spam and virus
attachments. The advantage of
a server side Spam Filter is
that unwanted mail is deleted
directly on the server without
ever having to be downloaded.
There are 7 parameters for
filtering Spam: From
Address, To Address,
To Host, Cc Address,
Headers, Message
Subject, and Message
Body, plus a Virus
Attachment filter. Each
filter can have its own set of
rules for deleting messages
containing a certain
combination of characters.
The "White List"
feature provides the ability
to have a list of names,
addresses, domain names, or
any alphanumeric string of
characters which forces
the delivery of messages
containing any entry on that
list in various pre-defined
places, thus bypassing the
Spam Filter entirely. The
"Notify Sender Of Non
Delivery" option
automatically notifies senders
of messages rejected for Spam
that their message was not
delivered, along with the
reason why, and a secure link
for using a trusted, web based
email client to re-send it
without filtering. This
ensures that no message gets
deleted without notice, and
since Spammers mostly use
forged return addresses, which
cannot receive replies,
legitimate senders will get
the ability to have their
messages delivered regardless
of content. For added
reliability, each account can
also create a "Spam"
mailbox which will store all
messages rejected by the Spam
Filter for 72 hours.
|
included
|
|
Anti Virus Protection
In addition to basic Anti
Virus checking which is part
of our Spam Filter, we use a
powerful anti virus email
scanning software across our
entire network of mail servers
to block incoming or outgoing
messages, which contain a
known virus. This solution
reduces mail server processing
load by over 25%, and
decreases the chances of
receiving or sending an email
virus. |
included
|
|
OpenPGP Mail
Our OpenPGP Manager provides
an automatic installation and
configuration of OpenPGP Mail,
a custom script which accepts
input from any web based form,
and sends the encrypted
results via email to a
designated address. This
script is ideal for submitting
online loan applications,
order forms, shopping carts,
and any other form involving
sensitive data. |

Mail Server Monitoring
One of the biggest complaints
about the shared hosting
environment is email. Since
there are multiple users who
share a single mail server, if
one user decides to send
10,000 or more outgoing
messages using any of the
multitude of tools at their
disposal. all users will
experience mail delays of 3
hours or more. If 100,000 or
more messages are sent, that
delay can become as high as 12
hours. The conventional method
of dealing with such a
situation is to purge the mail
server queue as soon as a mail
delay complaint is received
and verified. Although this
does eliminate the delay for
some time, it permanently
deletes all outgoing and some
incoming messages for all
users, resulting in loss of
some or all email processed
during that time. To prevent
the above from happening, we
have developed a special
function in our proprietary
ProcessWatch™ server side
management utility to
constantly monitor the mail
server message queue, and
automatically detect, and
purge large volumes of
outgoing email from a single
source (over 5,000 messages
from one sender) which would
have otherwise created a
significant delay in delivery.
If any such violation occurs,
both the sender and our
security staff is instantly
notified to prevent future
problems. This utility can
also selectively purge any
outgoing message(s) from the
mail server without shutting
it down or affecting normal
mail delivery. The end result
is a lightning fast, and
reliable mail server, with
virtually no chance of mail
loss. |

|
FTP Features:
|
FTP Access Unlimited Access
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
is used to transfer files and
web pages to and from the web
server. You can upload or
download files to and from
your website 24 hours a day, 7
days a week from anywhere in
the world. |
Unlimited |
|
FTP Accounts
The Hosting offer four types
of FTP accounts, Standard,
Anonymous, Root, and Local.
FTP access can be given to up
to 1000 different users to
have independent directories
or share access to selected
directories within your
website. Standard accounts get
space outside the root web,
and can be accessed on the web
at yourname.com/~account,
while Local accounts can
access selected directories
inside the root web. The Root
account shares access to the
Root web with the main admin. |
1000 |
|
Secure FTP (SSL)
Our servers fully support
secure FTP connections via SSL.
During a secure FTP
connection, all data being
transferred to and from the
server is encrypted. This
feature complies with HIPAA
requirements for transaction
privacy and security, as it
provides a secure way of
transferring files. |
included
|
|
Auto Resume FTP
Our FTP servers are configured
to automatically resume
interrupted file uploads and
downloads, so instead of
transferring the entire file
again after a session has been
closed prematurely, only the
unsent portion is transferred. |
included
|
|
Anonymous FTP
Anonymous FTP provides a
separate folder that is shared
by all users of a domain and
does not require a password
for logging in. We offer two
types of Anonymous FTP
Accounts, Basic Anonymous and
True Anonymous. The difference
between the two is the user
name that is used for
accessing the Anonymous
directory. Under Basic
Anonymous, the users name us
the letter "a" followed
by the main account user name
(i.e. auser). Under
True Anonymous, the user name
is simply "anonymous".
True Anonymous FTP requires a
Unique IP address. |
