HOSTING
SOLUTIONS- Our equipment is second to none.
BASIC
FEATURES
Storage Space
Storage space is the amount of memory on our
servers that we provide to you for your Web
files. Your Web files can include html
pages, images, audio and video files, log
files, data from on-line forms, and anything
else you wish to load to your account with
IPOWER.
Transfer
Transfer refers to the amount of data you
can transfer to and from your server. In the
web hosting industry, the word bandwidth is
also used to describe transfer. Transfer,
short for Data Transfer, is measured anytime
a file is uploaded/downloaded to/from your
account.
Every time that file is downloaded/uploaded,
the equivalent of the space it takes is
subtracted from your remaining transfer. If
a file downloaded from your Web site is
100MB in size, then 100MB of transfer will
be used up from your monthly allowance.
Your-name.com
Your-name.com means you can use your very
own domain name. This makes your Web
presence more professional and more
memorable to visitors.
We can help you register a new domain or
transfer your existing domain to IPOWER's
nameservers.
International Domains
Many customers use country domains with
TLD's other than .com, .net or .org. This
feature supports the use of international
domains! IPOWER can host any domain name you
own.
E-MAIL FEATURES
E-mail Accounts
IPOWER provides you with the ability to use
web based e-mail and POP3 e-mail. Web-based
e-mail is referred to e-mail that you can
access by logging into a Web site. POP3
e-mail is e-mail accessed through software
such as Outlook, Mac Mail, Eudora, etc.
Every e-mail account you create in your
control panel allows access through webmail
(web based e-mail) or POP3 (e-mail client).
Unlimited E-mail Forwarding &
Autoresponder
With every e-mail account you create, you
have the ability to set up a forwarder or an
auto responder. This means that you can
forward all e-mail from one account to
another e-mail account. The auto responder
is used when you want the sender of an
e-mail to receive a message back from you as
soon as they send you an e-mail.
E-mail Filtering
Both the control panel and webmail provide
options for filtering e-mails. This is
especially helpful to reduce the receiving
of SPAM or to block certain addresses from
e-mailing you.
Browser-based E-mail
All e-mail accounts provide web-based e-mail
capability. You can check your e-mail from
anywhere in the world, even if you're not in
front of your computer.
SOFTWARE AND SCRIPTS
CGI-BIN + PHP 5.0.4 Support
Some services limit your ability to use
scripts to customize your site. IPOWER
provides you with your very own CGI-BIN to
allow you to develop your site to the
fullest.
We not only include a CGI-BIN with your
account, but we also provide helpful scripts
for you to use to improve your site in our
CGI Library.
With your own CGI-BIN, you can use languages
like PHP to your advantage. PHP is a
programming language that has proven very
useful, so IPOWER has included PHP in our
server configurations to allow you to use
PHP in your site.
PERL Support
Perl is a programming language designed for
processing text. It has strong text
processing abilities making it one of the
most popular languages for writing CGI
scripts. IPOWER has included Perl support on
its servers to allow the user unlimited
scripting power.
MySQL Database
MySQL is most commonly used for Web
applications and for embedded applications
and has become a popular alternative to
proprietary database systems because of its
speed and reliability. IPOWER provides
customers with the MySQL Database and the
phpMyAdmin interface.
Users in need of a database management
system can take advantage of the MySQL
databases that IPOWER provides. MySQL is a
free open source DBMS. More information can
