Fee Domain Aliases!
Domain aliases allow
you to point multiple domain names to the same web
hosting package. For e.g. suppose yourdomain.com was the
primary domain name for the hosting package and you also
wanted to point yourdomain.net (additional TLDs) or
yourdomains.com ( mis-spellings) or someothername.com
(additional brandnames) to the same hosting package -
then you would specify these additional domain names as
domain aliases. The important point to note is that the
way a domain alias functions - the visitor is not
redirected to the primary domain name - the domain name
that he or she typed in the browser continues to be
displayed as-is through out the visit.
You can add up to 5
Domain Aliases with each hosting package that you
purchase. Kindly note that DNS Services are included for
the primary domain name only and not for domain aliases.
Domain Access with and without
"www"
Our web servers are
configured to allow domain access with and without the
"www." in front of the domain name i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com
and http://yourdomain.com will both work perfectly.
FTP Features
File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) is a software standard for transferring computer
files between machines with widely different operating
systems. With our hosting packages, you can use any FTP
based client to upload data / content to the web space
included in your hosting package.
Unlike some hosting
companies which restrict the amount of data that you can
upload and download on a daily basis, with ALL our
hosting packages - you get the ability to upload and
download data 24x7, unlimited number of times. Add to
this, you get the ability to add up to 100 FTP users.
Using the FTP Manager in the hosting control panel you
can do all of the following:
-
Add /
Delete FTP Users
-
Restrict Access of a FTP User to a particular folder
-
Set
Disk Quota Limitations on a per FTP User Basis
-
Change Passwords
-
Suspend / unsuspend access of FTP Users
You are also given
access to the Complete Log of Actions performed by each
user i.e. you can find out which FTP user connected from
what IP Address, at what time, and uploaded / modified /
deleted which all files.
Private Folder for Storing
Sensitive Data
A private folder is
included with every hosting package which allows you to
store data and files securely and quickly via FTP. This
folder is outside your web directory i.e. not directly
exposed on the internet via HTTP and has special
security permissions such that no user, other than the
FTP Users specified by you, has read or write access to
the data in this folder. By creating sub-folders within
this private folder and restricting Access of FTP Users
to particular sub-folders, you can share files securely
and reduce or eliminate the need to copy data on disks
for overnight delivery, thus saving both time and money.
Our FTP servers allow you to resume partial transfers
where they left off, so even if you get disconnected or
end a session, you can always reconnect and resume the
transfer where you left off at a later date or time.
Web Traffic Reporting
A powerful web traffic
reporting tool is included within your control panel.
This tool generates web based reports that provide
insightful information about the users visiting your
website, such as, the number of unique visitors, no of
hits, avg duration spent by each user on your website,
most viewed entry and exit pages, search engines,
keyphrases and keywords used to find your site etc.
Using the Web Statistics
Manager in the control panel, you have the:
- ability to
password protect your web based traffic reports to
ensure that only authorized people have access to
this data
- option to
automatically delete web log files after generating
the web based traffic reports to save disk space
- ability to
disable the generation of the web traffic reports
- ability to
customize your web traffic reports by setting the
following parameters
- Skip Hosts -
Specify hosts / IP addresses from which all data
(hits/page views etc), should not be taken into
consideration while generating statistics
- Skip Files -
Specify filenames / directories which should be
ignored while generating statistics
- Only Files - This
is the opposite of the 'Skip Files' option. The
option is used to include in stats, only accesses to
URLs that match the specified filenames /
directories
- Not Page List -
List of file extensions which must be counted as
'Hit only' and not as a 'Page View'
Password Protect your
Directories
Directory Protection
is an easy-to-use web based tool included in the control
panel that allows you create as many password protected
areas as you want without requiring any programming.
This allows you to store sensitive material online and
give browser based access to such content / data to
authorized users only. A password dialogue box will
automatically pop-up in the browser when an attempt is
made to access the password protected directory or any
of its sub-directories.
Your Own Backup Policy Manager
The Backup Manager
provides comprehensive and cost effective protection by
allowing you to define highly flexible backup policies
that will protect their critical data. The web-based
backup policy manager provides an easy-to-use one-step
wizard to add each policy.
You just needs to follow
the steps mentioned below:
- select the
directory for which the policy is being created
this could be the entire website directory, a
sub-folder or the database directory - depending on
what critical data you wants to backup
- specify the
frequency of the backup
daily / weekly / monthly
- specify the
number of backup files to keep
backup archives are rotated 'no of backlogs' times
before being deleted
You are allowed to add
as many policies as you want. This allows you to
creatively structure any kind of backup policy that you
require.
For e.g. you can add
one policy which takes a backup of the entire website on
a daily basis, with 5 backlogs. Another policy, which
takes a backup of the entire website on a weekly basis,
with 4 backlogs, and yet another policy which takes a
backup of the entire website on a monthly basis, with 6
backlogs.
With the above set of
policies, you have created a comprehensive backup plan
with multiple restore points for his website. You can
roll back to a point in the last 5 days, or restore a
backup which was taken every week for the last whole
month, or a backup that was taken monthly up to 6 months
ago.
Raw Log Files
Comprehensive Raw Log
files are made available in each web hosting packages
Logs Folder.
The raw log files consist
of:
- Web Log Files
These files are generated by the web server to
record all requests made to the website. They are
primarily used by website statistics software to
generate reports on essential marketing metrics for
your website such as the no of visitors, pages
viewed, visit duration, referring websites, search
engines, key phrases and keywords used to find your
site, visitor's computer configurations etc
- FTP Log Files
These files are generated by the FTP server to
record all logins, uploads and downloads made to and
from your hosting package
- Mail Log Files
These files are generated by the mail server to
record all emails sent using code on your website
The Log Files Manager
in the control panel provides extremely flexible options
to manage these raw log files. All options can be
configured separately for Web, FTP and Mail Log files.
The user can choose to disable a particular type of
logging in order to save disk space. If the user chooses
to enable logging, the system allows the user to specify
log rotation options to delete older log entries
automatically so that the log files do not continue
growing in size indefinitely. The user can specify the
no of backlogs to maintain for each type of log file,
set a max log file size and set log rotation frequency
(daily/weekly/monthly).
Customizable Error Pages
When a visitor
attempts to connect to a web site and an HTTP error
occurs, a generic message is sent back to the visitor's
browser with a brief description of what happened during
the attempt to establish a connection. For example, if a
visitor attempts to connect to a page that no longer
exists on the web site , an HTTP error will be returned
in the form of an HTML page that contains the statement
"The requested URL was not found on this server".
You can use the
"Custom Errors Pages" section of the Control Panel to
customize HTTP errors that are sent to clients when web
server errors occur.
You can customize the
following HTTP errors:
- 401 -
Authorization Failed
- 403 - Permission
Denied
- 404 - File /
Resource Not Found
- 406 - Resource
Not Acceptable
- 500 - Internal
Error
The customization
options allow you to redirect the user to a local URL /
remote URL or specify a text / HTML message on the
occurrence of the specified HTTP error.
SSL Secure Server Manager
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology protects data by creating a secure connection
between a client and a server using encryption enabled
by a server's SSL Certificate. SSL is required if your
website is an E-commerce website (or) has any secure
login areas (or) requires any secure pages. The SSL
Manager in the control panel allows you to manage your
CSR's (certificate signing requests), public and private
keys, SSL certificates provided by your CA and
self-signed certificates generated by the server.
MySQL Database Services
MySQL is a
multithreaded, multi-user, SQL (Structured Query
Language) relational database server. If the hosting
package that you have purchased includes MySQL
Database(s) then you get 100 Database Users per Database
that you have purchased, and the ability to do the
following from your hosting control panel, using the
Database Manager section:
- Add / Delete
MySQL Databases
- Restrict Access
to the database from a set of IP Addresses / Hosts
- Add multiple
database users for a single database
- Define granular
level database access policy on a per user basis
i.e. you can decide which all privileges a user
should be given from Select, Insert, Update, Delete,
Create, Drop, Grant, Reference, Index, Alter
Privileges
- Change Passwords
- Suspend /
unsuspend access of database users
- One-click Access
to phpMyAdmin - a web based tool for administering
your MySQL database that allows you to
create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields,
execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields
etc.
Website Speed Booster
The Website Speed
Booster, as of this writing, is a feature unique to our
hosting control panels ONLY. It automatically enhances
the speed of your website by up to 20x times and more.
This tool works by compressing the content delivered to
the client when it is sent across the network. It uses
the browsers ability to uncompress this data seamlessly.
The tool does not require any changes in website code
nor does it require any additional software on the
client. All browsers starting from Internet Explorer
4.0, Netscape 4.06, Opera 5, Lynx 2.6 support this
feature. Our solution will simply not compress the data
if the visitor has a non-compliant browser.
Using the control panel
you can boost the speed of all of the following:
- all static pages
i.e. html, js, css files etc
- all dynamic pages
i.e. php, perl, cgi, python files etc
- all images and
downloadables i.e. gif, jpg, png, doc, pdf, xls
files etc
Auto Correct URL Spelling
This option is another
feature unique to our hosting control panels ONLY - it
attempts to automatically correct misspellings of URLs
that users might have entered, by ignoring
capitalization and by allowing up to one misspelling
(character insertion / omission / transposition or wrong
character). Requests to documents sometimes cannot be
served by the web server because the request was
misspelled or miscapitalized. This option addresses the
problem by trying to find a matching document. It does
its work by comparing each document name in the
requested directory against the requested document name
without regard to case, and allowing misspellings. A
list is built with all document names which were matched
using this strategy.
If, after scanning the
directory,
- no matching
document was found, then the server will proceed as
usual and return a "document not found" error
- only one document
is found that "almost" matches the request, then it
is returned in the form of a redirection response
- more than one
document with a close match was found, then the list
of the matches is returned to the client, and the
client can select the correct candidate
For example, if the
visitor to your website types in http://www.yourdomainname.com/home.htm
or http://www.yourdomainname.com/home.html in the
browser's address bar, and the actual page which exists
on the web server is home.html then the visitor will
automatically be redirected to http://www.yourdomainname.com/home.html
if the Auto Correct URL Spelling option is enabled.
Unlimited Web Forwarding Rules
The Redirect Manager
in the hosting control panel gives you the ability to
forward requests for any local folder, sub-folder, file
to another domain name, URL, or IP address seamlessly.
For e.g. if you want http://www.yourdomainname.com/corp
to redirect to http://www.someotherdomain.com, then you
can add a rule for the same. The easy-to-use Redirect
Manager allows you to add as many such web forwarding
rules as you want.
Direct Download Manager
Another feature
exclusive to our control panels - the Direct Download
Manager helps you save several hours of your valuable
time by allowing you to download files to your web space
directly from another server via a HTTP URL or FTP URL.
If you need to transfer large files to your web space
that are already available on some other server, then
you would typically have to download these files locally
to your desktop and re-upload them. All of this could
take up quite some time depending on the file size and
your internet connection speed. However, using the
server-to-server transfer facility provided by the
Direct Download Manager you can utilize the server's
high speed connection to directly download large files,
so, even if you are connected to the Internet via a
dial-up connection, file transfers will occur at the
very high speeds.
This feature is most
useful when you are transferring your website date from
your previous web hosting provider, as you could just
zip up your whole website and instead of downloading it
locally to your desktop, directly download it on the
server and unzip it there.
