Hosting Details

Anonymous FTP: Enabling anonymous FTP allows visitors to access your web site to upload and/or download files without a unique id and password. By controllable anonymous FTP, we are referring to an environment whereby anonymous access can be limited to specific files and directories.

CGI script support

All Warp Speed Hosting plans have access to a personal cgi-local directory in which you can place your own custom CGI scripts. CGI scripts are often used to accomplish tasks which are not supported by basic HTML such as a "hit" counter or guest book. This directory can be used to set up scripts that you write or find elsewhere on the web.

Control Panel

All users have access to a web-based Control Panel which allows you to set mail forwarding options, auto responders, POP accounts, view statistics and more. There is a cost for Fantastico, Installatron, RoundCube Webmail, Configurable Firewall per month.

Data Transfer

In general, any outward bound traffic from a web site, with the exception of e-mail, is considered to be data transfer. For example, each time a web page, image, midi file, quick time video, etc. is loaded, data transfer is generated. Each of our plans includes a generous amount of free data transfer which should be more than enough for most sites. In fact, 98% to 99% of our customers operate within their free data transfer allowance. Additional data transfer beyond the threshold will incur a small charge.

Disk Storage Space

Disk storage space refers to the amount of server disk storage specifically allocated to your account. This space is used to store your html files, graphics, audio clips, POP mail messages, pdfs, and other files that make up your web site. Each of our plans includes a specified allotment of disk storage space, but additional space can be purchased for any account in 1GB blocks at a cost per month.

Domain Name Registration

We offer virtual domain Web hosting accounts which means you can have your own Web address or "domain name"
(eg: www.yourbusinessoryourname.com). We can handle U.S. domain name registration or transfers on your behalf. (ie: .com, .net, .org, etc.).

We can also serve non-U. S. domain names as well. We can provide you with the appropriate name server and technical contact information to assist you in registering a non-U. S. domain name with your local ClicktoJam.

You can also have additional domain names point to your account for a small additional charge per month.

Excite: Excite is a new generation of web navigation. It gives your web site the same advanced search capabilities used by the Excite service, allowing visitors to search your web site using keywords or concepts.

FTP Access: You will have unlimited access to your account via FTP 24-hours a day to set up and maintain your web site. You can work on HTML documents, graphics, and scripts locally and then upload files to your web site when ready. An FTP tutorial and client software is available in our online support.

FrontPage: We can install Microsoft FrontPage extensions for your account. This allows you to use the easy-to-use Microsoft FrontPage program to create and maintain your web site. You may request that FrontPage extensions be installed within your web site when placing an order for domain web hosting services or contact our support department directly. Microsoft provides direct support for all FrontPage users.

Mail Forwarding

Once your domain name is active worldwide, you can receive all e-mail addressed to your domain such as webmaster@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com, etc. By default, all e-mail addressed to your domain will forward to your real e-mail address provided by your local internet provider. For convenience, specific mail forwarding options are available if you need specific addresses each to be forwarded to different addresses on the internet. For example, e-mail addressed to webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at AOL, but sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy account.

MySQL Database Server

MySQL, is a lightweight database engine designed to provide fast access to stored data. We provide the tools to create a searchable database. In most instances, custom programming (commonly Perl or PHP) is needed to implement a fully functional web-to-database interface.

POP Accounts

In addition to mail forwarding, users have the option to retrieve e-mail directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an email program such as Eudora. Each of our plans includes a Master POP account which can receive all email and control the settings for any optional configurable POP accounts. Each of our plans also offers a specified number of configurable POP accounts. The additional POPs can be assigned unique ids and passwords to ensure privacy. You can also purchase additional POPs if needed.

Shopping Cart

A Shopping Cart program allows you to implement your own on-line storefront. The shopping cart keeps track of what visitors have ordered and allows them to add or remove items from a 'virtual shopping cart'. When a visitor decides to check-out, the order information including the buyer's name, address and billing instruction is e-mailed to the site webmaster and a receipt is sent to the shopper. Our unix Corporate Plan and above include a pre-written Shopping Cart script that you can customize for your use. A demonstration and extensive documentation are available.

SSL Secure Server

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) allows users to collect data such as credit card information in a secure environment. Information submitted via a secure form is sent to the server in an encrypted mode. Users may choose to research methods such as encrypted email (PGP), CyberCash, or other solution for retrieving such information from their web sites.

Statistics

We give you a choice of using eXTReMe Tracker, or Analog to track your web usage statistics such as what domains are accessing your web site, how many "hits" you are getting, how much data is being transferred and more. In addition, we give you direct access to your raw log files so you can analyze your statistics with other more full-featured programs.

TrueSpeech^TM

TrueSpeech is a high quality speech compression software which compresses speech down to as much as 1/40th its original size. Since regular speech files are normally large, compression using TrueSpeech enables them to be transferred faster and more easily. Support for TrueSpeech real-time audio is available for use in your web pages.

Volano Chat

Volano Chat is a real-time, live chat interface you can quickly and easily add to your web site. It is written in JAVA so it is compatible with the vast majority of web browsers without the need for any plug-ins.

Avoiding Spam

Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the message.

Web sites that are less reputable or that have privacy policies that are less strict may sell your email address to spammers. Just as some merchants send junk mail to your house, spammers send unsolicited email with the hope that you will buy their products or services. Since it is very inexpensive to send an email message, spammers can afford to send millions of them, even if only a small number of people respond by purchasing their products. They send their messages from numerous different--and often falsified--addresses, which makes them hard to track.

Here are some things that you can do to help reduce the amount of spam that comes to your e-Mail account:

Never respond to unsolicited email. One response or "hit" from thousands of emails is enough for spammers to justify the practice. In addition, a response lets the spammer know that your email address is active, which makes it more valuable and opens the door to more spam.
Never send your personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, etc.) in an email. Spammers can fake the format of Yahoo! and other trusted sites. Yahoo! will never ask you to send your password or credit card information by email.
Never follow a spam e-mail's instructions to reply with the word "remove" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line or body of the message unless you trust the source. This is often a ploy to get you to react to the email, which lets the spammer know that your email address is valid.
Never click on a URL or web address listed within a spam email, even if the message tells you that's how you unsubscribe. This also alerts the sender that your email address is active and can result in more spam.
Never sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists. Although some of these sites may be legitimate, most are actually address collectors. If a collector records your address, they will value it more highly because it is active.
Never open an unsolicited email unless you have blocked HTML graphics. Blocking graphics prevents spammers from being alerted when you open the message.
