Email Aliases
Email Aliases allow you to have multiple email addresses for one email account. For example, you could create a an email account, admin@example.com, and have the aliases sales@example.com and support@example.com all send to the admin@example.com account.

SpamAssassin
SpamAssassin scans incoming mail and tags spam which can be filtered using your email client. This is disabled by default.

Email Defense
Email Defense allows domain owners to set policies for filtering spam, viruses, and attachments from their email. Messages can be quarantined and each user receives a daily quarantine report and can release or delete messages using a web link. This is an additional cost service. See the Email Defense serivce details.

Email Antivirus Filtering
All incoming and outgoing email is scanned for viruses using Clamav. Any emails containing viruses are not delivered. Due to the proliferation of viruses which forge the sender, we do not send virus notifications to the sender or recipient.

AWStats
AWStats provides detailed site statistics in a nice looking interface. For a sample, see the AWStats demo site.

Static IP Address
Static IP addresses are only assigned to accounts using SSL certificates or temporarily for use in uploading and testing a site prior to DNS propagation.

Subdomains
Subdomains allow you to have a site at a different hostname at your domain. For example, you could create a subdomain photos.example.com if you owned example.com. Subdomain files are stored in a folder of your root web directory which is named the same as the hostname. In the example above, creating the subdomain photos.example.com would create a folder /photos in your main account. All files in the /photos folder become the web root of photos.example.com.

Domain Pointers
Domain pointers allow you to have multiple domain names point to your primary web site.
