Bandwidth
/ Transfer / Hits
You have unlimited bandwidth on your shared hosting
package. Any outbound traffic from your web site is
considered data transfer. FTP uploads do not count
as data transfer. Each time a html file, graphic file
or any other element on your web page is loaded, data
transfer is generated.
Disk Storage
Disk storage refers to the amount of server disk storage
your account is allocated. This space is used to store
your html files, graphics, audio/video files and all
other files that make up your web site. Your POP3
emails are not stored in this space. You are allotted
an extra 10 MB of space for your mail spool. Should
you require additional space for your content you
will need to upgrade your account to the next shared
package.
Number of Domains Per Server
We do not overload our web servers. We bind 1 class
C (256) of Ips to each machine. This ensure that your
web site loads fast and is always available to your
visitors.
Static IP Address
Every shared hosting account is configured with a
static IP address. This means that you are given a
unique set of numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) specifically
assigned to your web space. This allows you to access
your web site via a web browser or development tool
regardless of the status of your domain name. Having
your own IP address also gives you the opportunity
of publishing your web site to your new web space
before actually transferring your domain name to our
DNS. This results in no down time when transferring
your web site from a another hosting company.
Private Nameservers
ns and ns2.youractualdomain.com protect your identity
and to anyone doing a whois? query appears as though
you maintain your own servers and DNS. Perfect for
a reseller or business hosting multiple domain names.
Instant Setup
Your account will be setup within 3 minutes of placing
your order online. This service is available 24 hours
a day 7 days week.

Email Features
Email Accounts
Each of our shared hosting packages comes with unlimited
POP3 email accounts in addition to email forwards
and aliases. You have the option to retrieve email
directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using
an email program such as Eudora, Outlook or Outlook
Express.
Email Aliases / Forwards
Using Email Aliases or forwarders gives you the ability
to receive any email at *@youractualdomain.com. Specific
email addresses that you want to forward out of your
domain to another email account can be accomplished
through MonsterControls or by editing your .redirect
file within your /home directory. For example you
may want to forward all email addressed to sales@youractualdomain.com
to an AOL account such as Bob232@aol.com or another
POP3 account on your domain bob@youractualdomain.com.
The best part about using aliases or forwards is that
the person emailing you never knows the mail is being
redirected.
Email Autoresponders
An autoresponder is a pre-determined message with
information you want automatically sent to anyone
who emails a designated email address/mailbox at your
domain.
PGP
PGP is a program that adds privacy to your electronic
mail that you send through our network. It encrypts
your mail so that nobody but the intended person can
read it. When encrypted, the message looks like a
meaningless jumble of random characters. PGP has proven
itself quite capable of resisting even the most sophisticated
forms of analysis aimed at reading the encrypted text.
Mail Lists
You can create multiple mail lists based on your customer's
interests. You provide customers an email address
they can send an email to and be added to your personalized
mailing list. As soon as customers sign on they are
sent a friendly welcome message. This is a great way
to cost effectively communicate with your customers
through monthly newsletters, sales updates or just
a friendly hello. Each list can hold 1000 names and
a 75kb message can be emailed to all the lists you
create.

gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate
network. To add, access and process data stored in

system such as mSQL/mySQL. Since computers are very
