24/7 FTP Access File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for uploading
files to your site.
Having FTP 24/7
access 365 days a year allows you to change anything on your website
at any time night or day. Your account has it's own individual username
and password so nobody else can change your site.
No Hidden Charges You've seen the other hosts, you've tried to
get something for nothing (hasn't everybody?), and found out that
what seemed like the deal of a lifetime, suddenly turns into an expensive
package once registration, forwarding and a variety of miscellaneous
fees are added.
What we provide is an honest pricing policy, we'll tell you what we
we're going to charge you up front and it won't cost you anything
else!
You can also upgrade/downgrade
your account at any time.
Free Secure Server A Secure Server encrypts your webpages for
security. This system is used internet-wide by companies that need
to take online payments.
To have your own secure server would normally be a costly job. However,
we provide a FREE shared secure server, saving you around £100
a year. You can collect sensitive information from your visitors with
the same security as all of the other online retailers. Your free
128 bit (very high security) secure server is set up via our easy
to use control panel.
Essential if you are selling over the internet.
PHP PHP
is a Hypertext Preprocessor, a server-side scripting language, allowing
scripts to be run on the server before the information is passed on
to your audience, giving you truly dyanmic content.
When a visitor opens the page, the server processes the script and
passes the results to the visitor's browser.
CGI-BIN A
CGI-BIN is a folder on your website that can perform tasks. You place
a script into the CGI-BIN for the script to work.
Many of our competitors only allow partial or no access to your CGI-BIN.
The advantages of having full, unlimited access to your CGI-BIN is
that you can search the internet for free scripts and install them
yourself, hassle free.
We also provide
the most popular scripts free which are easily installed via your
control panel.
CGI Scripts Scripts are more complex pieces code which
can be extremely useful.
We have provided the most popular scripts free via our easy to use
control panel, such as:

time you receive a new visitor. Place this counter on any webpage
you choose, you have full control over where to place our scripts.
FormMail

up their normal email software, FormMail allows your visitor to
type their message in user-defined areas (boxes) on the webpage.
They then click on send and it is converted into an email and
sent to the email address you requested.
The visitor can then be sent, automatically, to a new webpage
saying "thank you for contacting us" etc.
GuestBook
Your visitors can leave a message in your free GuestBook.
Message board
Your visitors can leave messages for you and other visitors. Great
for discussion topics.
Via your control panel, you simply click
on which script(s) you'd like to use and in realtime they appear
on your website.

you full access to your CGI BIN, a folder on your website that is
required to run these types of scripts. With full access to your
CGI BIN you can search the internet for free scripts (there are
literally 1,000's) and add them hassle free as required
Shopping Carts If you're selling from your website, you'll
probably need a shopping cart. A professional and reliable shopping

over there actions, i.e., forward mails to sales@domain.com, support@domain.com
and news@domain.com to just one account, or if you prefer you can
set individual emails to go to other people. For example, you can
easily set up your email preferences so that everything goes to you,
apart from e.g., bob@domain.com, this can go to another mailbox or
even forwarded to another email address.
You can even set up lists with your email address, e.g., a visitor
sends an email to info@domain.com, this email is then sent to everyone
on your list, e.g., bob@domain.com + joanne@workdomain.com + steve@mymobile.co.uk
- and it's all set up with a few clicks in your control panel.
With autoresponders your site can reply instantly
to any incoming emails, e.g., if someone sends an email to sales@domain.com,
the site can respond no human intervention, with a thank you message,
e.g., "thank you for contacting us, we will be in touch within
24 hours" etc.
Different reply messages can be set up for
every email alias, e.g., one reply message for emails sent to sales@domain.com
and a different one for bob@domain.com.
File Manager Your
web based file manager, gives you full control and access to all of
your files anytime, anywhere.
Just log in to your control panel and change, view, upload or delete
a file whenever you need to.
Password Protected Directories Password protected directories means that you
can place passwords on any areas of your website as you wish. For
example, you may wish for anyone to look at your webpages, but only
want family and friends to look at other information. This is simple
to do via your easy to use control panel and you have full control
over the passwords.
Password protected areas can be added, changed or deleted at any time
via your control panel.
When a visitor
tries to gain access to a password protected area, a box pops up
asking for their password. No access will be granted unless this
password is correct.
There is no limit on how many areas you can make
password protected.
Raw Access Logs Via
our easy to use control panel you have complete access to your raw
access logs from your website.
These can be used in many programs to analyse the traffic to your
website.
Detailed Traffic Statistics Via your control panel you can access your
traffic statistics and see exactly what's happening. You can simply
view month by month information, such as number of hits, number of
visitors etc, or go into great depth and see who looked at which page
on every day since your site was launched.
You can also see how your visitors found you, e.g., a link from another
site, a search engines etc, what page they were on when they left
your site, what people are typing into search engines to find your
site, plus much more. Traffic information is supplied in graph form
and numeric form allowing you to analyse your data in any way you
prefer.
If you want to increase visitors to your
website, then our traffic statistics are essential in showing you
what marketing efforts are working well and those that are not
CRON Jobs A cron job is an automated process that operates
at predefined time intervals.
Unlike many of our competitors, we allow full access to perform cron
jobs which are administered via our easy to use control panel
Custom Error Pages Have you ever visited
a website to find that the page wasn't there, only to be presented
with a horrid black and white, windows default 404 error message ?
Unfortunately, most visitors will look elsewhere when they see an
error message like this.
This is where your easy to use control panel can help. You can create
a single webpage, anything you like, then pop the html code into the
control panel and whenever someone gets a 404 error message on your
website they see your pre-designed error page and not the default
error message.
The great benefit of this
is that your error page could be your home page, thus taking the
visitor back to your site and not forcing them away. An easy yet
effective method to retain your visitors. For example, say the page
the visitor wants to look at is www.domain.com/my_info.html and
they type it in wrong, they will see your home page or whatever
you want them to see.
Another brilliant feature of our control
panel is our error logs. With these you can see where such 404 errors
have occurred, which will allow you to easily find any bad links
/ code in your website and fix it ASAP.
Optional Extras
Frontpage Extensions To upload your
webpages using FrontPage, a website needs to have the correct extensions
installed, something not all of our competitors offer.
Other supported web site editors: Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive,
1st Page 2000, and just about any other website builder.
Using
such website editors makes designing your site very gratifying,
and very cost-effective, and don't forget if you run into problems,
our design team are only an email away.
MySQL Databases MySQL,
the most popular Open Source SQL database, is a fast, reliable database
management system.
You can use MySQL as the database layer for your dynamically generated
web pages. Like most Open Source programs and languages, MySQL has
a very practical set of features developed with contribution from
many users worldwide. The connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL
highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet.
Your
MySQL database can be fully managed via our easy to use control
panel.
Subdomains Having free sub domains is
like having free additional websites.
For example, if you had http://www.domain.com you could also have
http://members.domain.com - http://email.domain.com etc etc.
A sub domain is just like having a separate website
and you control them. Another great thing about sub domains is that
search engines consider them to be a separate website. For example,
if you had www.domain.com you could also submit sub1.domain.com
- sub3.domain.com to the search engines as well, resulting in even
more hits to your site.
Mailing Lists With an email list, visitors to your website
can join / leave your list at any time.
For example, if you have a website about local news, people can join
your email list and you can then email them all in one go. The email
list is set up and controlled via our control panel which makes administration
very easy.
