Detailed description of web hosting services
Setup
Fee
There is no setup fee on any Page-Zone hosting account. There
are no hidden charges as with other hosting services.
Monthly Fee
All our accounts can be paid monthly by credit card. All
accounts which are paid by check or money order must be
purchased in 3 month increments. Payment must be received
before account activation. For your convenience we will mail
an invoice near the end of each 3 month term for renewal.
30 Day
Satisfaction Guarantee
If for any reason you are not satisfied with our hosting service
within the first 30 days you will receive a full and prompt
refund. Domain name purchases are non refundable.
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
We don't offer the most advanced set services in the
industry only to fall short on reliability.
We guarantee that 99.9% of the time that your web site will
be accessible via IP address to the world. The IP address is
the numerical value equivalent to www.yourdomain.com.
Dedicated IP addresses come standard with our Advanced and
Professional hosting accounts.
Email Accounts
Each hosting package comes with unlimited POP3 email
accounts. You can read your email through our web mail
system, Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express etc.. Email
accounts can be added in seconds via our online control
panel. You get one catch all account which receives mail for
"any_word"@yourdomain.com
True Domain Name
You can use yourdomain.com or your static IP address
(advanced and professional accounts) to
access your web site. We support all international domains.
Your site will be accessible with or without the www. So www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com will open your site.
Storage
Disc storage refers to the amount of server disc storage
your account is allocated. The space is used to store your
HTML files, graphics, audio/video files and all other files
that make up your web site. To put it into perspective our
professional account comes with enough disk space (800mb) to
hold more than 13,000 average sized web pages.
Hits /Transfer
Each time a HTML file, graphic file or any other element on
your web page is loaded, data transfer is generated.
File Manager
The file manager included in the online control panel is a
simple, yet effective and efficient way of accessing,
editing, and modifying files on your site.
Mailing List
Mailing lists provide a convenient way to send mail to
multiple recipients and to provide a medium for your site's
visitor's to discuss relevant topics over email, without
them needing to know more than one address.
Auto Responders
Auto responders are forwarding address with one difference,
for every email delivered to them, they will automatically
return an email to the sender with no action on your part.
Email Aliases/Forwards
A forward address is an email address without a mailbox.
Mail received by this address will be forwarded on to the
email address you associate with it. The primary upshot of
this is to allow you to receive email @yourdomain.com
without creating another POP mailbox to manage; incoming
mail can instead be forwarded on to your existing mailbox,
most likely the one you received from your dial up internet
service provider or your address at your place of business
but it could be any email address.
Email Blockers
Your mailbox is like a telephone line, you have the right to
privacy and be free from harassing callers. Similarly there
are people on the internet you do not wish to receive e-mail
from. Entering their address into your blockers list will
cause the mail server to quietly delete e-mail received from
these addresses, as though it had never been received.
MySQL Databases
The basis of the SQL language is the concept of storing data
in tables of related information, and retrieving this data
according to certain criteria -
"show all inventory categories with less than ten units
remaining"
"show all accounts whose payment is due in the next week"
This data could be customer accounts, product information,
order records; the SQL language is extremely flexible in the
kind of data that can be expressed and contained by it.
There are many books and online tutorials for the SQL
language - its popularity as a business tool is unmatched.
If you are looking to create online commerce solutions, then
the use of SQL services will likely be a high priority. Much
of the work involved in a commerce site can be accomplished
through the use of the SQL language, and the speed and
security of data stored in SQL databases fulfills much of
the criteria of a successful commerce site.
Subdomains
You can setup subdomains (sales.yourdomain.com) quickly and
easily using your online control panel. This is powerful
when used in combination with the 50FTP accounts included in
the professional account, because you can allow ftp access
to just the subdomain. This protects the rest of the site.
These are real subdomains and once created they are
automatically set up with their own cgi-bin executable
folder. Unlike most other hosts offering so called
subdomains, your visitor always remains inside the subdomain
and doesn't revert to http://yourdomain/subdomain after
visiting the first page.
Virtual FTP Accounts
File Transfer Protocol or the method used to "upload" your
web site files to storage space on our network. You have
unlimited access to your domain via FTP 24 hours a day to
setup, change and manipulate your web site. With the
professional account you can setup ftp accounts for
different users. This will allow them to upload files while
being restricted to the ftp account you setup.
Web Mail System
The control panel includes functionality for reading e-mail
received by your POP mailboxes over the web, without an
e-mail client. This gives you full access to your email from
any computer connected to the internet.
Custom Error Pages
'404 Error not found' - not only is this sight
disheartening, its downright unhelpful. We all want to make
our web sites accessible to our visitors, and custom error
documents are one way to help achieve this. Instead of the
dreaded '404' message, you can instead have the web server
display a page that gives a set of links to major areas of
your site, to get your visitors back on track. The same can
be set up for other types of errors - pages that have moved,
or when a login to a protected directory is denied. All of
these pages can be edited in real time using your Control
Panel.
Pre-Configured Java/CGI
Pre-configured programs include: chat room, shopping cart,
CGI wrapper, random HTML, guest book, counter, clock,
countdown, CGI email, form mail clone, search engine and
banner rotator.
Perl 5, TCL,
C++, Python, Java
Various types of scripting languages/shells that are
installed on Page-Zone Hosting accounts.
Sever Side Includes (SSI)
The ability to include files from the server inside an HTML
document by placing tags in the HTML file that link to those
files. Using server-side includes makes it unnecessary to
include multiple copies of the same information in the HTML
file, and make it easier to work with frequently-updated
information.
Full CGI Access
Directory setup with special permissions to auto-execute
user-defined scripts. CGI is used to accomplish tasks which
are not supported by basic HTML such as a hit counter or
guest book. You may use this directory to execute any cgi-script
you write or ones that are already pre-written for you. The
directory is specially designed for scripts that end in .pl
as scripts that end in .cgi will execute from any directory
within your web space.
PHP4.0.6 Support
PHP is a server-side scripting language, with built in
methods to access database services though SQL, and is a
powerful alternative to CGI application for processing data
before it is viewed by your sites visitors.
SSL Secure Server
Any sensitive information such as credit card information
that can be encrypted before transmission thought a web
browser. SSL will light up the pad lock in your customer's
browser, greatly increasing customer trust when buying from
your site. Also included with your account is a shared
thawte server certificate. Thawte is the most well known and
trusted certificate provider.
SSH Secure Shell
Allows you to remotely connect to other computers on the
internet thought a series of RSA encrypted keys and is much
like telnet in that it is mostly command line.
Telnet/Command line
Access
A terminal emulation protocol that lets a user log in
remotely to other computers on the internet; it has a
command line interface. Originally developed for ARP Anet,
Telnet runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol.
Internal Search Engine
This allows visitors to your site to search information on
your site.
Submit to Major
Search Engines
Included in your control panel is a search engine submission
utility that will submit your site to the top search
engines.
Dedicated IP Address
The numerical address of your site (i.e. 66.96.215.100).
With a dedicated IP address you can view your web site with
http://IPAddress or with http://www.yourdomain.com. With a
shared IP address you can access your site with http://IPAddress/~username
or http://yourdomain.com. Dedicated IP addresses come
standard in all advanced and professional accounts. This
feature also enables you to troubleshoot DNS problems. If
for some reason you find your site inaccessible from your
computer you can simply type in the IP address to determine
if it is a DNS problem with your ISP. This gives you the
peace of mind knowing the rest of the world is still seeing
your site without a problem.
Password
Protected Directories
Protected directories within your web site so that only
approved user names and passwords can gain access.
Front Page 2002-97
Front Page extensions allow the use of all Microsoft Front
Page features. Activation of Front Page extensions doesn't
disable FTP access.
Detailed Site
Statistics
This is an extended logging feature that documents where
each visitor to your site came from. You will know if they
found you through a search engine or a web site link. This
is great for managing a advertising campaign. Our hosting
service currently comes with three different site statistics
applications, (Analog,
Webalizer, and our own proprietary stats application)
all three are viewable from your control panel.
Access To Raw Logs
These are the text logs showing every hit to your site and
what the user downloaded, accessed or viewed. For
statistical analysis you can download these to compile on
your local machine in programs like Web Trends or other site
analysis programs.
Anonymous FTP
If you've ever downloaded a file from the internet, chances
are you've used anonymous FTP. The 'anonymous' part
indicates that you don't need to have an account on the
system you're receiving the file from - its a public file
server. Offering a public file server on your own site has
many strong points in its favor - although you can make
files available on your web site through HTTP ftp is much
faster and more reliable than HTTP for transferring files,
and has additional features such as the ability to resume a
failed download. Used correctly, anonymous FTP can become
another valuable part of your site design
Real Audio/Video
We provide full support for RealMedia technology from
RealNetworks to stream audio and video from your web site.
Streaming allows your users to see or hear your multimedia
files without having to download them to their local PCs
first.
Chat Room
A chat room is preinstalled on your domain that will let
your users login and converse about topics you set or random
topics set by the users.
Double
Redundant Nightly Backup
We maintain nightly, weekly and monthly backups of all your
files to protect you in the event of hardware failure.
Backup Power Generator
Backup power systems include multiple UPS units, as well as
natural gas generators to ensure that clean power reaches
our servers at any level of failure, including total
electrical blackout.
