Depending on plan you can place on one account 1 to 7 domain names.
If you want more than this amount you can order additional domain for only 2$/month.
Do you support FrontPage Extensions?
Yes, we support FrontPage Extensions.
Why don't you just give everyone their own IP address?
There are a limited number of IP addresses in the world and that number is rapidly being depleted. Once the IP addresses are gone, they're gone--there just won't be any more for anyone else. There is some work being done to establish a new system but it would take a very long time to implement it and it is not near completion yet. So, in an effort to do our part, we minimize the number of IP addresses we use. More than 95% of our clients use shared IP addresses and do not report that they have any trouble with them at all.
But if you want to have IP address we can give it for you for $20 setup + $3/month. With own IP you can get SSL and Anonymous FTP.
What server software are you running?
We use run Linux Red Hat and Apache web server.
I want to accept credit cards through my website, can I do this on your servers?
Yes, you'll need to find a shopping cart and you will need to have a merchant account with a bank or select billing service, like 2CheckOut.
How long does it take to set up service ?
This is process normally takes a few hours, as long as your credit card is approved. You will receive your welcome and set-up information by email. Remember, it can take longer for your domain name to point to your new account. However, as soon as you receive your welcome message by email, you are ready to use your new account with your temporary sub-address.
Is my account permitted to have commercial material ?
Yes, definitely. We have clients whose material range from personal to corporate information. However, we do not allow certain adult content, spam, warez or illegal content with our services. See our terms and conditions for details on content permitted on our servers.
