which you can place your own custom CGI scripts. CGI scripts are often
used to accomplish tasks which are not supported by basic HTML, such as
a "hit" counter or guest book.
The following CGI or script types are supported: Perl, C, Unix SH, KSH, CSH, Java, Python

Control Panel

update account contact information at anytime without having to contact
customer support.

Data transfer
In general, any outward-bound traffic from a Web site (with the
exception of email) is considered to be data transfer. For example, each
time a Web page, image, MIDI file, QuickTime video, etc. is loaded, data
transfer is generated. Each of our plans includes a generous amount of
free data transfer which should be more than enough for most sites. In
fact, 98% to 99% of our customers operate within their free data
transfer allowance. Additional data transfer beyond the threshold will
incur a small charge.

Disk storage space
Disk storage space refers to the amount of server disk storage
specifically allocated to your account. This space is used to store your
HTML files, graphics, audio clips, POP mail messages, PDFs, and other
files that make up your Web site.

Domain name registration
All of our hosting plans include domain name registration
(www.yourname.com, subject to availability). The cost is just $120 for
the first two years you own your domain and $40 per year thereafter. You
can also have additional domain names point to your account for a small
additional charge. If your domain name is up to date and you would just
like to transfer it to us there is no charge.

FrontPage
We can install
Microsoft
FrontPage 2000 extensions for your account. This allows you to use
the Microsoft FrontPage 2000 program to create and maintain your Web
site. You may request that FrontPage extensions be installed within your
Web site when placing an order for domain Web hosting services, or you
may contact our support department to have them installed at a later
date. Available but not included in all plans.
Please note that FrontPage 2000 extensions are "backwards
compatible," meaning they also support previous versions of FrontPage
(e.g., FrontPage 98). Microsoft provides direct support for all
FrontPage users at
their site.
We are currently looking into supporting FrontPage 2002 extensions as
soon as they become available for our servers.

FTP access
You will have unlimited access to your account via FTP 24 hours a day to
set up and maintain your Web site. You can work on HTML documents,
graphics, and scripts locally, then upload files to your Web site when
ready. An FTP tutorial and client software is available in our online
support. Available with all plans.

Mail forwarding
Once your domain name is active worldwide, you can receive all email
addressed to your domain such as Webmaster@yourname.com,
sales@yourname.com, etc. For convenience, specific mail forwarding
options are available if you need specific addresses each to be
forwarded to different addresses on the Internet. For example, email
addressed to Webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at AOL,
but sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy account.

mSQL Database Server
mSQL (mini SQL), is a lightweight database engine designed to provide
fast access to stored data. We provide the tools to create a searchable
database. In most instances, custom programming (commonly Perl or PHP)
is needed to implement a fully functional Web-to-database interface.
Available with our Enhanced, Premium, and Hi Volume hosting plans, as
well as our E-Commerce plans.

POP Master and configurable accounts
In addition to mail forwarding, users have the option to retrieve email
directly from POP mailboxes on the mail server using an email program
such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. All of our
plans include a Master POP account which can receive all email and
control the settings for any optional configurable POP accounts. Our
plans also offer a specified number of configurable POP accounts. The
additional POPs can be assigned unique IDs and passwords to ensure
privacy.

Shopping cart
A shopping cart program allows you to have your own online storefront.
The shopping cart keeps track of what visitors have ordered and allows
them to add or remove items from a ''virtual shopping cart.'' When a
visitor decides to check out, the order information, including the
buyer's name, address and billing instruction, is emailed to an address
you specify and a receipt is sent to the shopper. Our Enhanced, Premium,
and Hi Volume plans include a pre-written shopping cart script that you
can customize for your use. A demonstration and extensive documentation
are available. For those interested in a more comprehensive online
commerce solution, we have several E-Commerce Solutions plans available.

SSL Secure Server
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) allows users to collect data, such as credit
card information, in a secure environment. Information submitted via a
secure form is sent to the server in an encrypted mode. Users may
choose to research methods such as encrypted email (PGP), CyberCash, or
other solution for retrieving such information from their Web sites.

Statistics
Web usage statistics such as what domains are accessing your Web site,
how many "hits" you're getting, how much data is being transferred and
