Disk Storage
This is the total amount of storage space used by your web site, including log files.

Monthly Data Transfer
The amount of data transferred to and from your web site. This does not include FTP and email traffic.

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.

Email Autoresponders
Email autoresponders allow you to setup an automatic response email that would be sent when mail is received by an account.

Catchall Email Account
A catchall account can be set up which would receive email addressed to nonexistent accounts at your domain.

POP/IMAP Access
If you are using an email client to check your mail, you can use either POP or IMAP to access the account.

WebMail
WebMail allows you to access your email account using only a web browser.

Email Quota Control
As a domain owner, you will be able to set email storage quotas for your users.

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 Scanning
All incoming and outgoing email is scanned for viruses using Trend Micro Antivirus. 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.

Email Account Storage
Each email account has a 50MB storage limit Additional storage can be added for an additional fee.

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.

Access Databases
You can use Microsoft Access databases to store and retrieve information from your web site.

Create Database DSNs
You can use the Helm Control Panel to create database DSNs to point to your Microsoft Access and/or Microsoft SQL databases. Note that we do not recommend using DSNs for new code, only for backward compatibility with existing code. For new code, you should use DSN-less connection strings.

MS SQL 2000 Database
For reliable, high-use, database-driven web site, we offer Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases. If your hosting plan does not include a database, you can add it for an additional fee. Database sizes start at 25 MB and additional SQL storage can be added for an additional fee. SQL database storage is not included in your web site storage limit.

Common ASP Components

- Persits AspEmail for sending email
- Persits AspGrid

ActiveState Perl
ActiveState Perl is a Windows-based Perl interpreter which allows you to run Perl scripts using CGI (cgi-bin). Please note that ActiveState Perl may not be compatible with Perl scripts designed to run on unix Perl. If you are moving your site from a unix server, please see our Linux hosting offerings to ensure compatibility.
