E-mail Aliasing / Catchalls
With e-mail aliasing you can configure the mail
server to forward e-mail correspondence directed to yourdomain.com
to different Pop (post office protocol) e-mail accounts. Our semi-dedicated
series servers (Virtual ISP and Web Designer) include the ability
to set up an unlimited number of e-mail aliases or catchalls,
while the Starter Hosting Package includes one catchall. Catchalls
give you the power and flexibility to give out multiple e-mail
addresses to your customers. For instance you could use sales@yourdomain.com,
info@yourdomain.com, customerservice@yourdomain.com or any number
of addresses to imply that your business is much bigger than it
may actually be!

up to 100, and our Starter Hosting Package includes three Pop
e-mail accounts.

Telnet is an Internet program for connecting
to a remote host or server. The Telnet interface is text-based
and a user usually has to enter their logon name and password
before gaining access to the system. Although Telnet is primarily
used to access online databases, other things that can be done
with Telnet access include checking e-mail, downloading programs,
and chatting with other Telnet users.

PHP Support
PHP
is a very powerful tool that lets you create dynamic web pages.
Internet browsers read PHP-enabled web pages just like regular
HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you create
regular HTML pages. In an HTML document, PHP script (similar syntax
to that of Perl or C) is enclosed within special PHP tags. Because
PHP is embedded within tags, the author can switch between HTML
and PHP (similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to
rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. Because PHP is executed
on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code.
PHP can perform any task any CGI program can,
but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of
databases. PHP can talk across networks using IMAP, SNMP, NNTP,
POP3, or HTTP.

CGI / Perl Script Installation
Due to the nature of CGI and Perl programming,
some scripts are much more complex than others. We have a library
of scripts that we are familiar and comfortable working with.
You can install any script from this library at no charge. If
you would like for us to install and configure it for you, there
is a small service charge of $25. The only exception to this is
Formmail, which comes pre-installed on both WebDesigner and Virtual
ISP servers.
Our script library includes:
WWWBoard
NewsPro
Calendar
MyImageGallery
CGI Guestbook
If you have some other script you would like
for us to install for you, we will provide pricing on a case by
case basis based upon how technical the installation is.
