"*.pl" script and can be located in any directory inside the hosting package.
Server Side Includes: they can be used from within any
".html" page. We do not support the use of ".shtml" pages.
- HOSTING PACKAGES
- To purchase
a hosting package you should use this link [-Web Hosting Package
Order Page-] It allows you to purchase a basic, advanced, e-commerce, and other hosting packages. The specs to each of these hosting
packages can be found off our website. When setting up this package you will be asked for
the domain name, login, password, and package type. The login name and password assigned
will be the login name + password you will use to gain FTP access to your site.
- ADD A DNS ONLY ENTRY
- A DNS only entry means that you will be supplying your own web space for the domain name and only want us to
point the domain to your IP. For example, lets say a you want a domain pointing to your
static IP address (note a static IP is also available from us with our dial up internet access see the following page for
more info [-Internet Access
Prices & Options-] ), or perhaps you want 2+ domain names pointing to one
hosting package. This service would be used in both cases. The information that is
required by this package is the domain name and IP address. If you are pointing multiple
domains toward one hosting package on our server use use the domain name you have
hosted on our server and the IP for example "216.127.139.15", then use the
domain alias domains together form.
- ADD THE FrontPage
PACKAGE
- If you will be using FrontPage 98
or 2000 to build your Web Site than you will need to have FrontPage extensions installed.
Our servers support only the basic setup of FrontPage, and do not support guest books, sub
webs, or forms at this time. To implement these, you will need to use a CGI script. We do
however support counters, buttons, and many of the other aspects of FrontPage. To install
FrontPage you will be asked for the domain name, login name, and password. This should be
the your login name and password. Note: FrontPage cannot be accessed by the IP address,
you must use the domain name or temp domain name. to add this us e the following [-FrontPage Request
Form-]

Domain Name, and once your domain name is registered,
it can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet, anywhere in the world! We are fully qualified domain name registrars

- This program can be used for
uploading your WebPages to your website. It is one of the most easiest to use out there.
To use it simply download it from our page and install it on your computer. When you are
ready, open the program and input a new profile name. The hostname would be
"yourdomain.com" or the IP address of your website. The IP address to our server
is "216.127.139.15". You will then want to put in the hosting packages login
name and password. When you are ready go ahead and connect. This will open up two screens,
the local computer (your computer) and the remote computer (our computer). You can then
browse and find your files that you want to transfer and click the arrows to upload them
to your website. WS_FTP consists of two versions:
WS_FTP Limited Edition (LE), supporting the popular FTP capabilities found in prior
versions; and WS_FTP Professional (Pro), with extended features, documentation, and
support, including continuation of interrupted file transfers and drag-and-drop file
transfer.Fully functional versions of WS_FTP Limited Edition are offered at no fee to
