| HOSTING SERVICES - STANDARD FEATURES |
|
| STORAGE |
Everything that relates to your web site is stored on our disks. Web pages, images, multimedia files, e-mail messages and scripts are all counted toward the hosting plan storage limit. |
| |
| BANDWIDTH |
File transfer occurs each time a web page, image, audio, video, and all other elements of your site are accessed by a visitor. |
| |
| POP3 / IMAP |
E-Mail accounts can be accessed directly to retrieve your mail using such programs as Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, Outlook Express and Netscape Mail. Each POP/IMAP account has its own password to ensure privacy. For example, let’s say you have 5 employees, each needing his or her own e-mail address that needs to be checked individually. Then each of your employees will receive a POP3/IMAP e-mail account. The advantage to POP3/IMAP e-mail accounts is that you can check your e-mail from anywhere in the world where you have access to the internet. |
| |
| E-MAIL FORWARDING |
Domain Direct Australia offers the convenience of e-mail forwarding
on all hosting packages. When this is activated, messages sent to a certain e-mail
address are forwarded to another address. For example, Bob sends an e-mail to
webmaster@yourdomain.com. If you choose, this message is then automatically forwarded
to you@yourisp.com. |
| |
| E-MAIL FORWARDERS |
Per POP3/IMAP e-mail account, you can have multiple e-mail aliases. For example, if your POP3/IMAP e-mail account is johndoe@yourdomain.com. You can have johnd@yourdomain.com, jdoe@yourdomain.com, doe@yourdomain.com all point to johndoe@yourdomain.com |
| |
| FTP ACCESS |
FTP Software is used to upload and download your web site between
your own computer and the Domain Direct Australia's servers. FTP access is available
to your account 24 hours a day 7 days a week. |
| |
| CGI-BIN |
If your hosting package allows for a CGI-BIN feature you can store custom CGI scripts written by yourself or found elsewhere on the internet. It is the prevalent way to create dynamic output from a webpage. Used in conjunction with a script, it can be executed in real time through a web page. CGI can produce everything from hit counters, guest books, order forms, and many other useful features. |
| |
| SSI |
An SSI is a server side feature that automatically inserts text and code into web pages when a browser accesses them. Pages that use this technology have a .shtml file extension. |
| |
| PHP |
PHP is an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code. PHP can perform any task that any CGI program can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases. |
