Website Hosting Features
Domains Hosted
You can host anything from 1 to 1000 domains with us. You choose the quantity, and mix and match packages to suit your needs. Once you host 2 or more domains you can manage all domains from the same control panel - even allow access to specific domains to other people.
Disk Space
We offer a generous amount of space with all our plans. Start off small if required, and upgrade when you like to a larger package. Each MB of space allows roughly 10 web pages.
Data Transfer
Each visit to your site results in a 'transfer' of data from the server to the visitors web browser. Transfer also happens when you upload content to your site. Hosting companies limit the amount of data transfer, as this data flow has to be paid for. Our data transfer limits for Australian based servers are extraordinarily generous (most clients never even use 25% of their allocation). We never charge for extra data transfer on Australian based servers either, we'll just suggest an account upgrade if you ever reach your allocated limit.
POP3 e-mail with SMTP
All accounts come with at least 1 pop3 email box, most accounts have multiple email boxes. We allow you to send and receive email through our server, a feature not allowed by many hosting companies. We make it easy for you to create and manage your email box/es through your own Control Panel.
MySQL & PostgreSQL
MySQL is the world's most popular Open Source Database, designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use. There are many freely available scripts using MySQL, including member databases, forums, shopping carts and more. As well as MySQL, you also have the option as using PostgreSQL.
PHP
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual.
SSI - Server Side Includes
Server Side Includes may be used whenever you wish to include a file into a page. For example, you may have a header area for your site which is the same for each page. You could make this header area a seperate file and simply 'include' a call to this file at the top of each page. Then when changes are required to this header area you only need make changes to one file, the header include file, to reflect this change across every page that the include is on.
CGI-BIN
Use your cgi-bin to process Perl scripts. There are thousands of freely available scripts on the net to use. Examples include counters and form processing scripts.
Usage Report
Via the Control Panel you can check at any time to see how much Disk Space and traffic you are using.
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
We know how good our packages and service are. Thats why we offer a 30 day 100% money back guarantee. If at any stage during the first 30 days you host with us you are not entirely happy we will refund your entire setup and hosting fees without question.
Autoresponders
Perfect for times when you are away from home, to let people know you've received their email, or to automatically send product details. You can configure Autoresponders within your Control Panel so any email delivered to you@yourdomain.com.au will have a pre configured reply sent straight back to the originating email address. You can also configure the autoresponder to reply only if the incoming email contains certain words or phrases. For example, you may create an autoresponder called information@yourdomain.com.au. If someone sends an email requesting 'Product A Information', the autoresponder will send back details on Product A, likewise if the incoming email requests information on Product B, the autoresponder will reply with a preformatted response specifically containing information on Product B.
E-mail redirects
Create a redirect for one or more of your email addresses quicly and easily using your Control Panel. You may choose to redirect all email destined for you@yourdomain.com.au to you@yourisp.com.au for example.
Webmail
Webmail is perfect for those times when you're not near your own computer, and are unable to download email through your email client. Webmail is similar to Hotmail or Yahoo mail in that you may access it at any time from any web browser anywhere in the world. Great for use on holidays, business trips etc. Webmail is free with every single account we offer!
Microsoft Front Page Extensions
We support all versions of this popular web design program (2000 and 2002).
Custom error pages
Ever tried to click a link within a website and received that ugly 'This page cannot be displayed' error? Visitors to your site will never experience this, as we make it easy for you to create and upload your own custom error pages which keep the same look as the rest of your site. Simply create the specific error page (404, 500 etc) and upload it into your httpdocs directory on the server. Your visitors who happen to stumle across any errors within your site will get your custom page rather than the traditional error page.
SSL
Secure Socket Layer - your own https directory for secure pages. Purchase security certificates seperately from $75.00AU pa.
Unlimited Web Users
Offer free space to friends or family. You can create as many sub user accounts as your account can handle. Sub user accounts have their own login and FTP password.
Full Stats Analysis
If you're like most website owners you'll want to see how many people are visiting, when they are coming, where from, what pages they are viewing, what country they are from etc. Our webstats allows to you see all of this quickly and easily so you can track your sites progress month by month. Once on the stats home page, click the month you'd like to see complete statistics for.
Mailgroups
Create an email address (eg. group@yourdomain.com.au). Add group members to this mailgroup via the Control Panel (eg. joe@yahoo.com, fred@hotmail.com). Any email sent by anybody to group@yourdomain.com.au will have a copy sent to everyone in the group
