- Disk
Space
When you sign up with a web hosting company, you are basically
leasing hard disk space on their web server. This disk
space is used to store all your web site files. Lets say
you have a 50K web page consisting of text and graphics. A 10MB
disk space can hold 200 pages of the same file size!
- POP3
Email Addresses
A POP3 mail account is an account where your mail is temporarily
stored on our sever and you retrieve them using any email
software. You can use mail programs such as Outlook,
Outlook Express, or Eudora.

functions. First, any user sending an email to that

original incoming message is forwarded to another specified
email address.

- Catch
All Email
A catch all email is your email account will accept any mail
that is being sent to ?????@yourdomain.com. Instead of the
sender receiving an undeliverable mail message, your mail
account will accept the message. This is good if your to
receive an important email but the sender misspells your email
address. With catch all email you will never miss an
important email again!

and so forth all pointing to his mail box.
|
- Email
Forwarding
This feature allows you to forward emails that are received into
your account to one specific email box. An example is that
you want all of your emails (info@yourdomain, bob@yourdomain.com)
received in your account to be sent to your ISP account like
bob@aol.com, bob@mindspring.com or bob@bellsouth.net. This
way you can retrieve all of your email from one location.

Microsoft®
FrontPage® Server Extensions?
FrontPage® 2000 server extensions are a set of server-side
applications that:
- Let multiple users
simultaneously collaborate on the same Web site and Web
Server (Multi-user Authoring).
- Let users write
directly to the Web server using a PC or laptop computer
from anywhere in the world via the Internet (Remote
Authoring).
- Let users include
forms on their Web site and specify how the results of those
forms are handled.
- Let users include
discussion Webs on their Web site.
- Provide full text
search capability on a Web site.
- Let users include hit
counters on their Web site.
This
"pre-packaged" functionality lets users incorporate
these advanced features without having to write the complex
server-side programs typically required. FrontPage is the only
Web creation and management tool that offers all of these
features. FrontPage 2000 server extensions are backward
compatible with FrontPage 98.

CGI-BIN
Directory
This directory allows you to execute a CGI script written in
Perl, or C. Perl programs are self-compiling and can be utilized
immediately after transfer to this directory/folder. You have
complete control of your CGI-BIN in order to execute programs. Please
make sure that any script or program you are using is written to
run on NT servers. Many Perl CGI scripts that are written
to run on UNIX servers will not run on NT servers. The best way
to verify the compatibility is to contact the author of the
script and ask him/her if it has been known to work on NT
servers.

get more detailed information about your visitors.

space. EverPlanet will only keep 30 days of log files.

Domain
Forwarding
Domain
forwarding is having another domain pointing to a specific
domain. If you have domain-a.com but you also own the
domain name domain-b.com and/or domain-c.net but you want all
traffic from domain-b.com and domain-c.net to all go to the main
domain-a.com, then you would have your domains forwarded.
