Why do I need a web site? |
| |
| E-mail |
| Internet
e-mail is an excellent means of communication with
tremendous cost savings. With your company's online
image at stake, you should make sure your e-mail
address includes your company name (yourname@yourbusiness.com
). Names, such as brian@hotmail.com, appear unprofessional
and may damage sales. The domain name, and with
that your e-mail address, is very much the storefront
of business today. All of our hosting packages offer
e-mail addresses. Reserve your domain name before
it is taken by someone else! |
| Web
Pages |
| Cost
managers are usually shocked by the amount of material
that can be distributed over the Internet to millions
of people at minimal cost. Not to mention the fact
that the content can be dynamically altered and
redistributed without incurring additional fees.
Compare that to the latest release of your most
recent four-color brochure or catalog! |

through geographic distances and time restrictions.

|
| What's
a domain name? |
| A
domain name is your address on the World Wide Web.
With your company's online image at stake, you should
make sure your domain name includes your company
name (www.yourbusiness.com ). Then, your e-mail
address will also be specific to your company. Names,
such as brian@yahoo.com, appear unprofessional and
may damage sales. Your potential clients may assume
that your company isn't established if it doesn't
have its own domain name. The domain name is very
much the storefront of business today. There are
tens of thousands of domain names registered every
day with over 4 million already reserved. Reserve
your name before it becomes the property of someone
else. |
| How
do I transfer my site to STEALTHHOSTING.NET? |
| Step
1: Sign up with us just as if it was a new account. |
| |
| Step
2: Within an hour you will receive an email from
us stating that your account has been set up and
issuing you an IP number. |
| |
| Step
3: Transfer your content and test your site on our
server with your IP number. You use the IP number
just like a domain name. For example, if we give
you an IP number of 209.239.33.2, you can put that
number in a browser as http://209.239.33.2 to see
what your pages will look like on our server. |
| |
| Step
4: Then email a domain name transfer request to
the appropriate registrar company, the company that
you initially registered your domain name through.
Use the STEALTHHOSTING.NET nameservers that are
on the signup form when transferring your domain
name. |
| |
| Step
5: Once you verify the transfer, the registrar will
point your domain name to our name server, and the
rest of the world will be able to access your new
site on our server with the domain name. |
| Can
I pay with credit card or do I need to issue a check? |
| Either
is fine. However if you pay by check you must pay
either semi-annual or annual. |
| When
you say annually, do you mean pay you all the money
up front, or pay monthly for one year? |
| You
must pay the full year at once, if you choose the
annual contract. |
| What
steps do I need to take to set-up a virtual domain
at STEALTHHOSTING.NET? |
| Simply
signup with us by filling out our online order form. |
| What
is the time needed to make space on your server
available? |
| Space
will be made available the same business day! Once
an account is set-up an activation notice will be
sent to you via e-mail including your user-ID, password,
and your IP address. |
| Do
you offer dial-up Internet access? |
| Yes!
Through another division of our company we offer
national ISP access. You can find out more about
StealthAccess.Net
by clicking on this link for more information. You
can eliminate the headaches of having a hosting
company and a dial-up company being two separate
companies. |
| Does
STEALTHHOSTING.NET support Macintosh systems? |
| Sure.
You can use the Fetch program to transfer files
from your MAC to our system. You can also use Telnet
and the POP e-mail programs like Eudora, Claris
E-mail and Netscape Mail. |
| Whom
can I contact by phone or e-mail if further questions
come up? |
| The
easiest is to respond to our address: sales@stealthmediasolutions.com. |

your servers connected 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week? If not, when and why are they disconnected? |

| What
are your server types: NT? UNIX? Both? Other? |

| What
do Autoresponders do and are they included? |

autoresponder is similar to an alias, but it also
will send an automatic reply back to the sender. |
| What
programs can be used to access e-mail (pine, elm,
Netscape mail, etc.)? |
| All
POP clients can be used-- any program which downloads
the files from our server onto your computer. You
can use mail user agents which run on our servers
(such as pine), with a special configuration. You
cannot use IMAP programs. |
| Can
I access my domain address with or without the "www"? |
| Yes,
you will be able to access the domain address with
or without the "www" in front of the domain name. |
| What
is an email alias and is it unlimited? |
| An
e-mail alias means if you send mail to webmaster@STEALTHHOSTING.NET,
that address is aliased to whomever needs to receive
it. It can be one person or multiple people, however
you need it structured. It is unlimited--get as
many as you need for no extra charge! |

you have a database system? Cold Fusion? mSQL? Other? |

you have FTP and FTP Anonymous access? |
| Yes,

| No.
There is no limit. You can update your pages an
unlimited amount of times, at any time you wish. |
| Do
you use Netscape's SSL technology? |
| We
use Apache-SSL which is several times more secure
than Netscape SSL. |
| Are
your virtual servers able to work with old and text-mode
browsers such as Lynx, or will users with those
browsers not find our index.html when putting in
only www.ourdomain.com (in other words, are they
truly virtual)? |
| They
are truly virtual--you get your very own IP address
on the web server. They will work with Lynx. |
| I
would like to know if you support VRML 1.0 and 2.0
mime types wrl and mus? |
| We
support these. You can set your own mime types with
your .htaccess file. |
| Does
each virtual server have its own log files? |
| Yes.
You have your own log files. |
| Do
you provide a CGI-BIN personal directory? |
| Yes,
a CGI-BIN is provided with certain account packages.
Please refer to the Prices & Plans page. |
| What
is CGI access? |
| CGI
scripts (Common Gateway interface) are used to provide
things like counters, form responses, guest books,
and many other things. STEALTHHOSTING.NET gives
you full CGI access for no extra charge! You can
write your own scripts, install someone else's,
or use one of our preinstalled CGI scripts. |
| Which
languages are supported in CGI (e.g. Bourne shell,
Perl, Java)? |

Shell, and Perl are all supported and available.
nomonthly.com does not offer Java support at this

|
| To
add or delete POP boxes, use the Mail Manager at
http://yourdomain.com/menu |
|
How can I setup mail redirection
for my users? |
| You
redirect mail by editing the address, un-forwarding
to the POP box (which deletes it if that's the only
reference to it) and forwarding to whatever email
address you desire. |
| Do
you charge additional fees for hosting a secure
web site? |
| No.
It is a free standard feature. |
| Can
I set up forms for secure transmission? |
| Yes.
There is no extra charge. |
| What
cgi scripts are preinstalled? |
| pgpmail.pl,
formmail.pl and count.cgi |
| Does
STEALTHHOSTING.NET offer SSI? |

is on all of our servers. You just need to be sure
that you call your files with the .shtml extension. |
| What
version of Perl does STEALTHHOSTING.NET use? |
| 5.00404 |
| Can
we set up password protected areas with .htaccess? |
| Yes
you can. You can do this through your control panel. |
| May
I promote my STEALTHHOSTING.NET web site with bulk
email? |
| Spamming
is in violation of our service agreement. There
are legal and ethical issues involved in mass mailing
of unsolicited email. Any user of our services who
has sent a large number of unsolicited email will
have their account closed within 24 hours. A pro-rata
share of their current contract will be refunded. |
| Do
you host foreign domains? |
| Yes
we host all types of domains foreign and domestic. |
| Do
STEALTHHOSTING.NET servers support IMAP? |
| Our
servers are not configured to be able to support
IMAP. IMAP is possible, however, for only the main
username of the account. We cannot provide any support
other than turning on your access to IMAP. If you
would like this, please let us know where you connect
from and we will make an ftp connection to the server.
We have to open a port for the location/s that you
can connect to the server from. |
