HOSTING FEATURES |
| Feature |
Description |
| |
|
| Your Own Domain Hosting |
After you register a domain, you can make your
website active on the Internet by getting your site
hosted by Flexihostings. (e.g. yourdomain.com) |
| |
|
| Disk Storage Space |
Disk storage space refers to the amount of server
disk storage specifically allocated to your account.
This space is used to store your html files, graphics,
audio clips, POP3 mail messages, pdfs, and other
files that make up your web site. Each of our plans
includes a very generous amount of space which is
substantially more than what most web hosting companies
provide. |
| |
|
| Monthly Data Transfer |
Monthly data transfer is the amount of information
that is transmitted to/from your Web space. Each
time a picture or HTML page is viewed by a visitor,
you upload data using FTP, or email is received
it adds to your monthly data transfer. The average
HIT is approximately 10k. This would mean that a
transfer limit of 4.0 Gigabytes would allow 400,000
hits. All Flexihostings accounts receive generous
amounts of data transfer. You can monitor your monthly
transfer in your control panel.
*A note on Unlimited Transfer offerings* Numerous
people have asked us why we don't offer unlimited
bandwidth? The answer is simple. The numerous
providers who say they offer unlimited bandwidth
are actually telling you a false statement. If
you read the fine print, "Unlimited bandwidth
means you may not use more then 10% of our resources".
This usually means they cut you off at 50 megabytes
per day. We will not cut you off due to extra
usage. |
| |
|
| Unmetered Hits |
We do not track or restrict the number of visitors
accessing your website or the number of pages that
are viewed. |
| |
|
| OS Platform |
Our automated systems are Linux-based which is
known around the world for it's stability and scalability.
Being the most used platform on the Internet today,
it suits the needs of both beginner and advanced
web hosts. |
| |
|
| POP3 E-mail Accounts |
In addition to email forwarding, users have the
option to retrieve email directly from their POP3
mailboxes on the mail server using an email program
such as Eudora, Microsoft Outlook or web based email.
POP3 email accounts are accounts that you setup
using your domain name i.e. sales@yourdomain.com
or me@yourdomain.com. You can manage your POP3 email
accounts easily from your control panel.
|
| |
|
| Email Auto Responders |
Auto responders are a very useful tool for distributing
information to interested prospects. An auto responder
is simply a program which instantly sends a pre-written
message back to a person who sends an e-mail to
a specified address. For instance, if a customer
were to send an email order to orders@yourdomain.com,
you could arrange for a Thank You email to be automatically
sent to them. |
| |
|
| Email Forwarders |
E-mail forwarders are accounts which simply forward
e-mail to a pre-designated e-mail address. E-mail
sent to separate POP3 mail accounts end up in a
single location. Email Forwarders can easily be
removed/added via our control panel. |
| |
|
| Email Alias |
An email alias is basically another name of your
email account. It allows you to create alternative
email addresses without creating a user account.
What an alias does is to point to a specific email
address. For example, you can have an alias called
"help" and forward it to maindesk@yourdomain.com.
However, you won't be able to send emails from an
alias, because it is not a real email account.. |
| |
|
| Web-based Email Access (Webmail) |
In addition to your POP3 email accounts,
you'll have web based mail that allows you to access
your email accounts from any browser, anywhere in
the world. This is a nice feature for someone who
travels or needs access to email at different locations.
|
| |
|
| Email Manager/Mail
Management Tools |
We give you powerful tools to
manage your email activities. From creating POP
accounts to managing huge mailing lists, it's
all easy with our online control panel. Using
our mail management tools you can:
| » |
Manage POP e-mail
boxes |
| » |
Manage E-mail aliases (forwarders)
|
| » |
Manage Auto-responders |
| » |
Change your default mail address |
| » |
Create SPAM filters |
| » |
Manage mailing lists. |
|
| Sub-domains |
Sub-domains allow for the use of
URLs like subdomain.yourdomain.com. This feature
is useful if you want to divide up your site into
different sections. The document root for your sub-domain
will be the subdirectory that has the same name
as your sub-domain prefix. For example: http://example.yourdomain.com
is the same as http://yourdomain.com/example/. You
can easily add/remove sub-domains from the control
panel. |
| |
|
| Domain Parking |
This is a domain name that redirects
a visitor to another Web location of your choice,
allowing you to have multiple domain names for one
site, such as www.yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.net. |
| |
|
| Unlimited FTP
Access |
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol
and is the most acceptable method for transferring
files from client to server. All of our packages
include unlimited access to your account via FTP
24 hours a day. This way you can update your site
whenever you want, giving you full control. |
| |
|
| Anonymous FTP
Server |
Anonymous FTP allows clients to take
advantage of the FTP protocol for visitors to their
website needing to download large files without
a login or password for each visitor. Anonymous
FTP can be installed and uninstalled automatically.
Clients login to your anonymous FTP site by FTPing
to ftp.yourdomain.com. The login "anonymous"
or "ftp" will work, and any password is
accepted. Once they have logged in anonymously,
they will automatically view the welcome message
which you can customize. Users can then download
any files which you have made available for them
to obtain anonymously. |
| |
|
| SSL Server (SSL) |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol
which encrypts all data communicated between client/server
to ensure there can be no intercepts of the data
by third parties and ensures that communication
is between the intended party. Encryption is very
important when taking credit card numbers, or posting
personal or confidential information over the Internet.
Although it's way more likely for someone to steal
your credit card number when you order over the
telephone, we still offer you full, unlimited access
to our secure server. By using our server's certificate,
you save hundreds of dollars! We also offer the
option to install your own personalized SSL Certificate.

|
| Own CGI-Bin Access |
All customers have access to a personal
cgi-local directory in which you can place your
own custom CGI scripts. CGI scripts are often used
to accomplish tasks which are not supported by basic
HTML, such as a "hit" counter or guest
book. This directory can be used to set up scripts
that you write or find elsewhere on the Web. |
| |
|
| The File Manager |
Your 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. |
| |
|
| FrontPage 2000/2
Extensions |
We can install Front Page extensions
on your account free of charge. This allows you
to use the easy-to-use Microsoft FrontPage program
to create and maintain your web site. The FrontPage
2002 extensions are fully backward compatible with
FrontPage 2000, 97 & 98 incase you're not yet
using the latest version. FrontPage 2002 extensions
is currently pre-installed on all account already
for your convenience. |
