>> Hosting Features

No Setup Fee!

There is no setup fee for creating a new virtual hosting account with us. This does not include any domain registration fees.

Disk Storage

The sum of all the web pages on your web site, email, and all your databases constitute your total disk space usage. We do allow you to use more than the amount of disk space allocated to you, but you will be charged at the rate specified on our Service Plans page for the excess usage. If you find yourself using more disk space than what has been allocated to you consistently, we would advise you to upgrade your hosting plan.

Transfer Bandwidth

Bandwidth transfer on your hosting account includes ftp upload/download, sending/receiving of emails, accessing of web pages, database, etc.

Sub Domains

A sub domain looks like this: http://subdomain.yourdomain.com. Each of the sub domains in your account can be pointed to a different folder in your web space, allowing you to host an unlimited number of different mini-sites in your account. In fact, you can even point the sub domains to any external web site address.

Custom DNS Records

You may create additional custom DNS records for your domain name, on top of the default DNS records created by our control panel. The DNS Record Types supported include A Record, MX Record & CNAME.

Domain Aliasing

Domain aliasing, or domain stacking, is creating additional domain names that all point to the same web site. For example, if your domain name is example.com, you can register another domain name, e.g. example.net and have it point to the location of example.com. This means, every Internet user who goes to example.net will land in example.com.

FTP Access

Every virtual host account holder may update their web site 24 hours a day, every day, via FTP. It is a way to copy files from your computer up to your directory on our web server. In this way, you will be able to add or edit files on your web site at any time that is convenient for you. Whenever you upload new file to your website, the changes show up immediately on your live site (you may have to reload the page in your browser in some cases). There is no restriction as to how often you can upload/download files on your hosting account.

Virtual FTP Account

Virtual FTP allows you to give your authorized Virtual FTP users access to more than one directory and specify a different set of permissions for each directory. Due to the requirement of dedicated IP for Virtual FTP access, this feature is only available for hosting plans with dedicated IP address.

Dedicated IP Address

This allows you access to your account via FTP, SSH, and the browser, from any location at any time by simply using your domain name or its Dedicated IP address.

Direct Shell Access (SSH)

We provide free SSH access to your hosting account on our server upon request. There is no extra charge for shell access. SSH provides you with secure access to a Unix system shell from which you can directly edit the files in your directory. For security reason, this feature is not turned on by default, and will be enabled only upon request.

Unlimited Email Forwarding

You may setup as many email forwarding addresses as you like with any of the virtual hosting plans offered by ReliaNET. These addresses are configured through our control panel and can be forwarded to your account's mailbox or to an external email address. Each email address can also be set to forward to any number of other addresses and mailboxes.

POP3 Email Accounts

Each virtual hosting plan comes with a specific number of POP3 mail accounts. They are different from email forwarding addresses in that all email sent to these accounts will be stored on our mail server. An email forwarding address will simply forward the email to a different account or address of your choice and the mail will not be stored on our server. You may also use the POP3 mail accounts to send and receive email. You can connect to your mail accounts to check your email via IMAP, POP3, or web-based email access.

IMAP is one of the ways you can access email in your mail account hosted with us. Most email clients support the IMAP protocol, which basically reads your email directly from the server rather than downloading it to your local computer. This is good for keeping your mail organized on a centralized server and serves as a convenient way to access your email from different computers. However, you will need to keep your Internet connection active while you read all your email. It will also consume a lot of the disk space allocated to your hosting account, since all your email saved on our server will count towards your total disk usage.

Web-Based Email Access

ReliaNET provides you an easy way to access to your email accounts from anywhere through our web-based mail server, as long as you have access to the Internet and a web browser. It has all of the functionalities needed for a web based email client, including MIME support, address books, SPAM filtering, calendars, folder manipulation, and more. You can compose, send, and check email on your email accounts directly from the web at any time. Our web-based mail account works with almost any browser, from any type of Internet connection. All you need to access the account is your email address and password.

Anti-Virus Email Filtering

Our anti-virus email filtering system checks all incoming email for viruses and if it detects any, it safely deletes the virus-infected email.

Anti-Spam Email Filtering

You may use our anti-spam email filtering to trace, filter out and delete spam messages coming to your mailbox. The system doesn't delete messages recognized as spam. It only marks them as spam and delivers them in a regular way so that you can review them before deciding to delete them or keep the mails.

Email Aliases

Email aliases are alternative addresses to existing mail boxes on the same domain name. Messages sent to an email alias are delivered to the primary mail box. You may assign an email alias to multiple mail boxes on your account.

Shopping Cart Systems

We provide a basic free shopping cart software system for a low set up fee, for all hosting plans. Its feature packed out-of-the-box installation allows you to setup, run, and maintain your online stores with minimum effort.

Password Protected Directories

You have the capability to setup password protection on any specific directory within your website. Simple .htaccess can be used to setup "members only" sections on your site, or to protect private content to a specific group of people.

Perl Support

Perl is a high-level programming language. It is most commonly used for writing CGI scripts. To make sure your perl script gets run from the web as a script you should name it with a .pl or .cgi extension.

PHP Support

PHP is a programming language that was designed for creating interactive, dynamic web pages, especially ones that interact with a MySQL database in the back-end. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just as standard HTML pages and you can create and edit them in the same way you normally create regular HTML pages. PHP is a language that gets things done without having to utilize many scripts to accomplish the tasks. To make sure your PHP script gets run from the web as a script you should name it with a .php, .php3, .php4, or .phtml extension.

CGI Support

CGI is what allows your site to have any sort of "programming" element to it, rather than just being a collection of static pages. CGI scripts can be written in just about any programming language (Perl, Python, C, C++, Java, etc.). There are thousands of ready made CGI scripts out there you can get and install on your site, and we even provide a few standard ones. To run a file as a CGI on your site, it can be placed anywhere as long as it has a .cgi, .pl or .py extension.

Pre-installed CGI Scripts

There are a number of common CGI scripts that are used on many web sites. Rather then having to install these scripts yourself, we did it for you automatically when your account is created. This enables you to simply add a few lines of code to your web page without having to worry about the scripting side of things.

Server Side Includes (SSI) Support

All virtual hosting plans allow access to SSI (Server Side Includes). SSI allows you to insert dynamic content into your web pages on the server-side. You can insert things like the current time, last time this file was updated, or another file right into your HTML file without having to really write any code. In order for SSI commands to be interpreted by our server, you have to name the file with a .shtml extension.

Crontab Support

Cron is a unix program that allows you to run a command at recurring time intervals. We allow any one to use these cron jobs for whatever they'd like as long as it doesn't violate our Terms of Service or cause undue load on your web server. The primary purpose of the web server is to serve web pages, so typically cron jobs are considered of secondary importance. But as long as their footprint is minimal, cron jobs are acceptable.

Custom MIME Support

MIME types help the web server map certain file types to certain file extensions. Through our web-based control panel, you can define custom MIME types for your website and configure custom file extensions.

MySQL Hosting

MySQL is an open-source SQL (Standard Query Language) database that is fast and reliable. Your databases' disk usage counts towards the total disk allocation for your hosting plan.

MS Frontpage Extensions

Microsoft Frontpage is a common web-publishing program that allows beginning or advanced webmasters to manage a website easily and effectively. The "extensions" are basically little interactive elements you can include in your site when designing it with MS Frontpage. They won't work when you publish your site to our server unless you've had the Frontpage extensions enabled. You don't need the extensions turned on just to use Frontpage to make your site. As long as you aren't using any extensions, your site will be fine without them.

Access Statistics

You can opt to receive detailed graphical statistics about your web site that show daily activity. It will show you useful information such as: Who is visiting your site and which page? How many visits is your site receiving each hour, day, week, month, year? What domain or site are the visitors coming from? What keywords were used in the search engines? You can also download your raw log files and run whatever statistics program you'd like on them.

Access to Raw Log Files

You have full access to the raw log files within your account. You may download them and use another program to analyze the trend of visitors to your website, or to view your script error logs to help fix bugs in scripts you've installed on your account.

Secure Certificate

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) creates a secure connection between your website and your visitors to ensure that sensitive data being exchanged cannot be intercepted and abused by third parties. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is transmitted over the SSL connection. There is an annual charge of $99 for the Secure Certificate.

Shared SSL Certificate

Unlike a regular SSL certificate, we provide a shared SSL certificate that you can use for free. It is also issued by an equally trusted Certificate Authority. The disadvantage of a shared SSL is that it can only be used with third level domains (eg. secure.yourdomain.com, and not yourdomain.com).

FREE Hosting for Non-profit organizations

We love to help out with the non-profit organizations. Just put an approved link on the bottom of your main page of your site and provide us with your URL and non-profit status documentation, and it's on the house.
