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. Click here for an image of
cPanel.
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
Write your own pages using PHP scripting. We currently
support PHP 3 & 4. By using PHP with MySQL you can build dynamic
feature rich web sites. To learn about PHP, visit www.php.net
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.
Statistics
Every domain hosted comes with a comprehensive statistics programme
that tracks every aspect of the visitors to your site. This is
invaluable when monitoring the effectiveness of any projects. Your
statistics can be accessed via your control panel.
Customer Support
We offer customer support with every package or service bought from
us via email.
User Manuals
There are comprehensive User Manuals available in your control panel
area which give instructions on how to use the control panel and
other features of your packages.
Daily Backups
We also recommend that you keep a backup of your web site yourself.
This can be done from your control panel.

scripts by using PHP and a mySQL database.
Shopping Cart
We have both Agora and osCommerce Shopping Carts that you
can setup with a click of a button in your control panel.
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.
Search Engine Submission
Submit your site to the worlds major search engines with one click,
enabling your customers to find you on the Internet.
