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!

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.

HTML Script Support

HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the standard for displaying and delivering web content on the Internet to web browsers.

JAVA Support

Java is a scripting language created by Sun Microsystems. All of our hosting offerings provide full support for client side Java scripts.

Back to Feature Comparison Chart | Previous Page


Perl Support

Perl is a very powerful scripting language typically used in Unix server environments. CGI applications are usually written in Perl.

ActiveX Support

Microsoft's ActiveX is a component based plugin architecture for Internet Explorer designed by Microsoft that allows Microsoft Centric developers to create interactive web sites utilizing Visual Basic, Java and Visual C++

The MySQL database server is the world's most widely used open source database.

Back to Feature Comparison Chart | Previous Page


WAP (Wireless Application) Support

Wireless Application Protocol allows you deploy information and web pages to WAP / Internet enabled phones and PDA devices. A technically savy programmer could deploy very powerful apps availalble from a phone / PDA or the Inernet proper that access the same back end SQL database for instance.

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.
