The following is a detailed overview of our hosting features.

POP3 Email Accounts
Create unique email address with your domain name to use on your computer in your email program. This provides a more manageable system than using web based email addresses and they are much more professional. No more obscure addresses because your name is taken.

Webmail
Access all your email addresses from any computer in the world. This can be done from your control panel or directly by typing: http://domainname:2095 Login using your email address username and password, then you can read and send emails and also manage your address book.

Autoresponders
Create automatic replies to received email. This can be used any time and is especially useful when going away and you wish to notify anyone who sends you an email, that you will not be able to reply until you return.

Email Aliases
As well as having your email accounts, you are able to create aliases that point to a specific email address. For example, if you have yourname@yourdomain.com as a POP3 account then you can create aliases like admin@yourdomain.com and then forward any incoming mail to the yourname@yourname.com address.

Spam Protection
Each email account comes with the Spam Assassin unsolicited mail protection which flags up emails from known spammers. Rules can then be created to block future emails from known offenders.

Web Space
All our packages come with a large amount of space suitable for any size web site. Of course if you need more then we can give you more as an optional extra.

FTP Access
Each package also comes with FTP Access which is the best way to transfer your site from your computer to the Internet.

Bandwidth
All our packages come with unlimited bandwidth. This is the amount of data that you upload / download to / from  your webspace.

Sub-Domains
Not only can you have www.yourdomain.com but you can create sub-domains like: images.yourdomain.com or catalogue.yourdomain.com. This allows you to split up your web site into different sections which can be useful for larger sites. This is an advanced feature that requires a higher level of skill to operate correctly, so please use this feature with caution.

On-Line Control Panel
cPanel allows you to manage your domain yourself. It makes changing little settings much easier and without asking our support to do it for you. From your control panel you can view all statistics and usage for your site. Change or view email settings, install extra features onto your web site, create new users and much more. The control panel is accessed by typing in: http://domainname.com:2082/. You will then enter a username and password that was allocated to you when you signed up for your account.

Free Programmes
Every package bought from us comes with a variety of free programmes that can be added to your site to enhance them. We do not provide support for the free packages once they are installed but the web sites of each program are very good and will provide all the support you need.

Mailing List Tool
Create and manage mailing lists to keep your visitors up-to-date with changes on your web site.

CGI Support
You have access to a dedicated CGI bin to enable you to execute scripts on your site.

PHP Support

MySQL Databases
MySQL is a flexible database solution providing you with the opportunity to develop more complex sites featuring rich content. Some of the free programmes mentioned above require a database to work. Databases are also required for producing on-line shops. To learn more about MySQL, visit www.mysql.com

FrontPage Extensions
All accounts come with support for FrontPage Extensions at no extra cost.

SSH / Telnet Access
Our accounts come with SSH access, this can be useful to tweak settings on your site but it is only recommended for very advanced users as it can cause the loss of data and / or your site.

SSL Certificate
This feature allows the web site to have its own secure area. This could be used for a members area or shopping cart.

Editable MX Records
CPanel manages your email through its own mail server. However, by altering your MX (Mail Exchange Record) Entry you can point your email to another mail server, if this is required.

SMTP Access
SMTP access allows you to send email through our server. Many hosts force you to go through your ISP which is usually not allowed by your ISP!

CRON Jobs
Cron jobs allow you to automate repetitive tasks on the server that hosts your web site.

APACHE Handlers
Apache is an open-source HTTP server, and is used to serve your site. Apache handlers tell the server how to deal with web files that need to be processed on the server.

Password Protection
You can protect directories within your site from browsers by using a password to protect them. This allows you to restrict material to only authorized users or store sensitive material online.

HotLink Protection
Hot linking is when another web site owner links directly to one or more of your images and includes it on their web page. Not only is this theft of your intellectual property, you are paying for the bandwidth used by that site.
