Details of this web hosting plan: No Setup Fee!
There is no setup fee, which many web hosts are charging, for creating a new virtual hosting account with us. This could help you save from a few dollars to more than twenty dollars for a start!
Comprehensive Control Panel
Our web-based control panel is where you go to access and control every
aspect of the administrative tasks required to maintain your virtual hosting account. It is very flexible and specially tailored to enable you to easily add, remove, and edit services such as email, mailing lists, web pages, and more!
Disk Storage
Each hosting account comes with a different amount of disk storage space allocated according to the hosting plan you have paid for. The sum of all the web pages on your
website (excluding log files), 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 found yourself using more disk space than what has been allocated to you consistently, we would advise you to upgrade your hosting plan. That could save you a lot of money than paying for the excess disk space being used each month!
Transfer Bandwidth
Each virtual hosting plan comes with a different amount of
net/" class="classic">free transfer bandwidth per month, as well as a cost for any extra transfer over that. Bandwidth transfer does not count FTP upload or email bandwidth, but it includes anonymous ftp downloads. We suggest you enable the use of anonymous FTP account with care as it could consume all your allocated bandwidth very quickly.
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). You get unlimited FTP upload whenever you like (24/7/365) with all of our hosting plans, and FTP uploads dont count towards your bandwidth usage!
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 (ie. Silver plans and above).
Anonymous FTP
This feature allows you to give public FTP access to a
dedicated directory in your account. A special directory is created in your account, and its content can be viewed and downloaded, but not uploaded unless you have enabled it.
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.
dedicated IP is required for Virtual FTP Accounts and Secure Socket Layers (SSL).
Direct Shell Access (SSH)
We provide
net/" class="classic">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 address as you like with any of the virtual hosting plan offered by Active-Venture. These addresses are configured through our control panel and can be forwarded to your accounts mailbox or to an external email address. Each email address can also be set to forward to any number of other addresses and mailboxes.
Unlimited Auto-responders
All Active-Venture hosting plans come with unlimited email auto-responders. You have the option to turn on an automatic response email for each of your email addresses. If you have one turned on, every time somebody sends an email to that address theyll immediately get a reply email with a predefined message from you. You can use auto-responders to thank your potential customers for contacting you, to let friends and associates know that you are away on vacation and much more. You can enable or disable the auto-responders at any time through our control panel.
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 just simply forwards 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 in existence today 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 Inter
net 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
Active-Venture provides you an easy way to access to your email accounts from anywhere through our web-based mail account, as long as you have access to the Inter
net and a web browser. It has all of the functionalities needed for a web based email client, including MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. 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 inter
net connection. All you need to access the account is your email address and password.
Catch-All Email Account
You can define a catch-all email account that will accept any mail sent to an email address at your
domain name that is not currently specified. For example, if you have an email address such as, john@your
domain.com, and someone accidentally sends mail to peter@your
domain.com, this email will not be lost or bounced back. Instead it will be automatically delivered to your catch-all account to help save you from losing important messages! You can enable or disable any of your email account as the catch-all account from the control panel.
Mailing List Manager (EZMLM)
We have pre-installed the ezMLM mailing list for all of our virtual hosting plans. You will be able to easily create various types of mailing lists such as announcement lists or discussions lists through the mailing list manager. You may setup the mailing list so that only you can send messages out to your subscribers or in such a way that you and your subscribers can send email to each other, much like a message forum.
net/" class="classic">free Shopping Cart (osCommerce)
We are providing a
net/" class="classic">free shopping cart software, osCommerce, for every hosting plans. Its feature packed out-of-the-box installation allows you to setup, run, and maintain your online stores with minimum effort and with no costs involved.
Password Protected Directories
You can setup password protection on any specific directory within your
website through our control panel. This can be used to setup members only sections on your site, or to protect private content to a specific group of people.
Perl 5 Support
Perl is a high-level programming language. It is most commonly used for writing CGI scripts. On our servers, Perl is located at /usr/bin/perl. 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 4 Support
php is a relatively new 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.
Python
Python is another programming language (like Perl and
php) that is popular for writing CGI scripts. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, or Java. On our servers, python is located at /usr/bin/python. To make sure your python script gets run from the web as a script you should name it with a .py or .cgi 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. Some examples of scripts we currently have installed in our library are: Extropias WebBBS, WebChat, Counter, FormMail.
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 theyd like as long as it doesnt 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 fine and 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.
Custom Error Pages
You can quickly and easily design or redirect your visitors to a custom error pages for your
website so that they wont see the plain 404 not found error page if they follow a broken link. You are allowed to define custom error pages for virtually any error codes. The custom error page editor can be accessed through the hosting control panel.
mysql and PostgreSQL Hosting
mysql and PostgreSQL are open-source SQL (Standard Query Language) databases that are fast and fairly reliable. All virtual hosting plans come with a specific number of
net/" class="classic">free
mysql or PostgreSQL databases. Your databases disk usage count towards the total disk allocation for your hosting plan.
Realaudio / Video
All virtual hosting plans include support for http-streaming of real audio and video. This basically means you can link to .rm files and they will stream to customers who have RealPlayer installed on their computer. You will of course need to encode your real audio/video files as real media first before you can do this.
MS
frontpage Extensions
All virtual hosting plans support Microsoft
frontpage Extensions. Microsoft
frontpage is a popular 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 wont work when you publish your site to our server unless youve had the
frontpage extensions enabled. You dont need the extensions turned on just to use
frontpage to make your site. As long as you arent using any extensions, your site will be fine without them.
Search Engine Promotion Tool
Through our hosting control panel, you can access a powerful search engine submission tool that will allow you to simultaneously submit your site to 20 of the most popular search engines on the Inter
net. There is no limit to the number of times you can re-submit your
website to these search engines.
Daily Access Statistics
You will receive detailed graphical statistics about your web site that are updated every day. 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 youd like on them.
Daily data backup
We keep extensive back-ups of data for each virtual hosting account. However, we do recommend you always keep your own copy of your entire web site at a remote location as well. Our hosting servers are configured with RAID disk array and hot-swappable so if any disk fails no data is lost, and we can replace the disk without any interruption of service.
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 youve installed on your account.
net/" class="classic">free Secure Certificate Setup
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. Because it requires a
dedicated IP address for its operation, it only comes with Silver hosting plan and above. Once you have obtained your own SSL certificate, you can upload it easily from our control panel.
net/" class="classic">free Shared SSL Certificate
Unlike a regular SSL certificate, we provide a shared SSL certificate that you can use for
net/" class="classic">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.your
domain.com, and not your
domain.com). Shared SSL is only available for hosting plans that come with
dedicated IP.
net/" class="classic">free Upgrades or Downgrades
You can upgrade or downgrade your hosting plan at any time without incurring any additional fees or causing any downtime with your account. The entire process is completely automatic and pain-
net/" class="classic">free from our control panel. We want to be sure your hosting plan fits your needs and
budget at all times.
