Our One Plan, Comprehensive Solution For $12.50 a month.
Free Domain Name Registration included
Your chosen domain is included in the fee for the year, as long as it is
available to register. If you wish us change to another host we can redirect
your domain to the server/provider of your choice for free.
FrontPage 2002 Extensions
FrontPage is a Microsoft page creation tool that requires special server
extensions to function properly. Our accounts come with the FrontPage
extensions... Free Of Charge. All you have to do is login to your online
control panel and press a button to install them.
Unlimited e-mail addresses
Up to 999 email addresses at yourdomain.com, all which can be
multi-forwarded, can use autoresponder we provide free, and are only
limited to size by your hosting space.
333 MB Webspace
You benefit by having 333 megs of web space... enough space to publish any
type of website. Whether it is a business site, personal page, fan site,
club or organization site... you will have more than enough web space. Web
Space is the amount of disk space your web hosting account is allotted.
Online Control Panel
A simple to use yet highly capable control panel allows you, the
administrator to control everything from email addresses to files
permissions. This enables people that are not knowledgeable in UNIX to
perform powerful administration actions through a graphic user Interface.
24/7 FTP Access
You will have 24 hour, 7 days a week access to your files on your server
space. Some providers have scheduled times that you can have FTP access to
your site, not so here. This is your space online you choose whether it is
accessible or not.
5 Free Subdomains
You can have as many sub-domains as you need. We offer five sub-domains for
free and if you need more subdomains, there is a small fee of $5 per
additional subdomain. You can set an FTP account for every sub-domain!
Web Site Statistics
The Site Statistics feature gives you access to your site's web statistics,
such as hits, transfers, etc. The Site Statistics are updated once on every
24 hours.
Webmail
Each account comes with a complete WebMail solution, so you and your users
can check your email anywhere, anytime! It's simple and easy to use!
MySQL Database
MySQL is our vendor's GNU database of choice. They develop all of their own
products with MySQL or Oracle. We encourage all mSQL and postgresQL users to
migrate to MySQL. You get local access for your MySQL database. We have a
graphical format for you to create and add tables, etc. MySQL is an advanced
database feature. The Interface we are currently using for clients to
administrate their databases is myPHPAdmin.
SMTP, POP3, IMAP Servers
Our servers allow you to send from your own SMTP server
(mail.yourdomain.com). With this capability, you can send email FROM
you@yourdomain.com etc.
5 Gigabytes Data Transfer and Hits
Each account comes with 5 Gigs of transfer per month (on average, close to a
100,000 hits per month). All sites that go over the allowed free traffic
will be charged $5 per extra gig.
Custom 404 Page
If you have your own domain name, you can create a custom 404 error page for
your visitors. What does this do for you? It can help you retain visitors
who may leave if they get the standard "File not found" page. The standard
404 page looks a little like this: File Not Found The requested url
/notafile.htm was not found on this server. That isn't very appealing to a
visitor, and if the person came from another site's link- that potential
visitor may just leave. However, you can make your own 404 page much more
informative and provide your visitors with a way to navigate through your
site. Instead of a "File Not Found" and nothing else, they can be directed
to an error page with a professional appearance that can redirect them to
another page of your site.
PERL, C++, TCL, Python and PHP4
We have enjoyed being the clear choice for computer programmers building web
sites. For this reason, we always give programmers the most recent versions
of the hottest programs needed to build their web applications. Not only do
we provide you with PHP support, but the majority of our system tools and
design projects are done by our vendor's staff in PHP.
Personal CGI-BIN
We encourage development of highly interactive, successful sites. For your
site to be truly interactive you need to be able to run computer programs in
your own cgi-bin.
Password Protected Directories
With our fully automated password protection feature, you can password
protect directories at the click of a button via our easy to use online
control panel. Simply choose the directory you would like to protect, then
create a user and a password... that's it!
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
The secure connection, which can protect you from everyone. With the help of
SSL you will receive the opportunity to use encrypted connection between the
server and the browser, which will guarantee the transmission of information
that should not be revealed to anyone. SSL is a protocol, compatible with
every modern browser - Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera etc. It
is appropriate to use SSL when you have implemented a commerce involving
credit cards or when you have password protected certain areas of your site.
If you would wish to install a previously purchased Security Certificate or
you plan to purchase one to have it installed for your website, we would
need to supply a dedicated IP for your domain. The price for dedicated IP is
$30/yr. Please note that we only supply dedicated IPs to Security
Certificate owners.
SSI (Server Side Includes)
Our servers support Server Side Includes (SSI), a method of calling code
into a page. SSI makes it possible for you to include a snippet of html code
onto a page or a group of pages. When you want to change the code, you
simply change it in one place, and then all the other pages update
automatically.
Graphical Hit Counter
Our very slick looking access counters can be installed on as many pages as
you choose at no extra charge. Plus, the code is basically generated for you
automatically... for you to place on your webpages.
Super Fast Servers
Our vendor's new ultrafast servers are equipped with P4 2GHz CPU's and 1GB
DDR
Site Search Engine
The site search engine is easy to use and can be installed with the push of
a button by logging on to your control panel. Your web site documents will
be searchable either publicly or privately, it's your choice.
Our Price
All this and more comprise our one comprehensive solution. We only accept
prepaid orders for a year of service at $150 US per a year. If you are not
happy with your service we can offer your money back (minus Domain
registration fees), and will redirect your new domain name to the hoster of
your choice. That's $12.50 a month for a powerful, flexible hosting solution
with the best support!
*In most cases, we will be able to have you up and running within one hour.
However, due to circumstances beyond our control, we may require anywhere
from one to five hours to email your account information to you. If for any
reason your account information has not been supplied to you before 24
hours, Optimus Hosting will waive all fees and your Hosting and Domain Name
Registration will be free for a period of one year.
