Features included in all hosting packages

I don't offer cut-down "beginner" packages and I include the features for which other hosts will charge you extra. Check the tutorials and FAQs for more information about the features described below.

Managing your hosting account
Web Control Panel (Ensim)	With my easy to use system and on-line help, you don't need to learn about obscure unix commands and configuration files to manage your hosting account.
Web File Manager	Upload and manage your web site files using just your web browser. Save time and money by not buying and installing additional software.
FTP Access	If you prefer, you can upload and manage your web site files using most standard FTP clients. Your users can also upload and download files from your FTP server, and you can even run an anonymous FTP server to distribute your publically accessible materials.
Directory Protection	Enhance the security of your site and provide your clients with extra services by using passwords to restrict access to parts of your site for different users and groups.
Backup/Restore	Protect yourself against lost data by creating ad-hoc and regular scheduled backups of your files, databases and configuration information in one easy step. (You will need to run an FTP server on your local site or PC to use this feature).
Microsoft FrontPage Support	Create, upload and manage your web site files using Microsoft's popular and easy-to-use FrontPage software. I include FrontPage 2002 extensions at no extra charge. (Please ask for FrontPage extensions to be installed when ordering. You will need to purchase your own copy of FrontPage to use this feature. I recommend that you do not use FTP or the Web File Manager to manage your site if you are a FrontPage user).
Subdomains	Help your departments and teams present a professional image to your clients by creating subdomains. For example, if your main site is located at www.yoursite.co.uk, you can create different sets of pages at sales.yoursite.co.uk, service.yoursite.co.uk, etc.
Personal Web Space	Provide each of your staff with their own personal web space (managed through FTP) and even create subdomains for them, e.g. http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/~username/ or http://username.yourdomain.co.uk/.
Email features
POP3/IMAP and SMTP Servers	Send and receive email through your hosting account using the email software with which you are familiar. Most standard email clients will work, e.g. Microsoft Outlook Express, Outlook, Eudora, etc. You can create your own email accounts using the web control panel.
Spam and Virus Checking	Our hosting accounts automatically identify and tag junk email and potentially damaging emails using our mailscanner and spamassassin anti-virus and anti-spam systems. You save £thousands in wasted time and effort. (In order to create a a robust security system, we recommend that you also install your own anti-virus software on your local servers and PCs).
Web Based Email	Your users can check their email from anywhere in the world using a standard web browser. Keep in touch with your major clients, or deal with a crisis back at the office wherever you are. (Please ask for webmail to be installed when ordering. Please note that webmail will use approximately 9MB of your available disk space).
Email Aliases	Create special email addresses that forward incoming mail to multiple recipients, e.g. create an alias enquiries@yourdomain.co.uk to copy each email from a potential new client to your everyone in your new business team, ensuring a swift follow-up.
Autoresponders	You can automatically reply to emails sent to an email alias. Let your clients know what your service standards are and who to call if they don't receive a timely response.
Email Forwarding	You can allow your users forward their emails to another email account. Don't let the emails pile up back in the office when working from home.
Vacation Messages	You can allow your users to set up an automatic reply when they're out of the office or on holiday. Each sender receives only one message regardless of how many emails they send, so you don't annoy your clients by creating a pile-up in their inbox.
Mailing Lists	Bring in new clients and generate repeat business by creating mailing lists for your potential and existing clients, e.g. announce new services or send regular newsletters and bulletins. Your clients can add and remove themselves from your mailing lists automatically, ensuring that you comply with the latest anti-spam legislation.
