Setup:
Setup includes all parts of establishing your domain name on our network. We setup your account on our server, and configure the control panel for your account.

Email Addresses:
Our email addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as POP boxes which store mail, email aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as autoresponders.

Disk Space (MB):
One MB of disk space can hold several hundred text pages or images. Most sites use less than 100 MB of disk space.

Data Transfer:
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain. A large number of sites have less than 1000MB of traffic per month, but popular sites could use three or four times that.

True Domain Name:
Each of our web sites comes with its very own domain name that you decide. So, for example, the name of the web site might be www.webspun4u.com, or www.webspun4u.net. A true domain is when you get your very own unique IP address on the web server. Many hosts offer 'fake virtual' domain accounts, which means they fool most browsers into redirecting themselves to the correct directory on the server. This method only works with certain browsers, it is not full featured and is not a professional solution.

Static IP Address:
Each account comes with a static IP address. A static IP address means the IP address (the number of your site) never changes. Some hosting companies use dynamic IP addressing, which means the IP number is different each and every time you connect to the server or they have several domains use 1 IP address. A static IP address provides your site with a never-changing solid address, which allows you to use it when FTPing files, or pinging your site, etc. A static IP allows you to have a true domain name.

Domain Registration:
We will register a (.com | .net |.org) domain for $19.95 per year. See Webspun Domains to get yours. Of course, we can host almost any other domain as well.

File Manager:
The File Manager is a very powerful feature. It allows you to manipulate all the files in your web site. You are able to create, delete, and move your files. You can also upload files from your local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, you can edit the HTML in any of your files from this option. Everything you need to manage your site can be found in this feature.

Archive Manager:
The Archive Manager will allow the user to backup and compress their files. For example, if you have a number of files for which you wish to keep a backup, you can select all the files, then create a backup file that contains all of them in compressed format.

FTP:
FTP is used to upload and download files. Almost all site design programs like Adobe Pagemill, Macromedia Dreamweaver, GoLive, HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to maintain your site.

Telnet(SSH):
Many users are not at all familiar with telnet and just as many do not need to use it. Telnet allows you to get a shell on our Linux servers. The implementation of telnet that we use is called SSH. SSH is more secure than standard Telnet.

You can even add additional features to your account right when you need them. With this extraordinary tool you do not only gain control, but also the flexibility to make changes within your time frame and according to your particular needs.

Ability to Add Domains:
You can add additional domains at any time through your control panel.

Ability to Park Domains:
You can have more than one domain name resolving at the same IP number and content holding site. For example, you can park yourname.net to yourname.com.

Midi Files:
Midi is a great way to add sound to a web site without using lots of bandwidth. All the popular MIDI mime types are supported on our domain.
 

When Real Audio/Video first came out, it required an audio/video server to be installed on the web server. This was because Real Audio/Video wanted to charge for each "stream'" or visitor. But soon people started writing competitive audio/video streaming technology that didn't require a special server. So, to compete, Real Audio/Video now does not require a server, and you can even use their free tools to create streaming audio over the Internet.
 

Real Video:
We support Video streaming with the Real Video Mime type as explained above.

MIME Type Manager:
The ability to manage mime types gives you full control of which software programs will work with your site. Mime types are managed through the control panel.

99.8% Uptime:
Although it is difficult to summarize the information for all of our servers, we estimate our uptime has been greater than 99.8% over the past 24 months (plus or minus 0.002%).
If your site goes down, we will issue credit for your downtime from the time we receive report of your site being down, until it is reachable from the internet again.

More information on our uptime guarantee is here.
