Disk StorageDisk space is the amount of space allotted to your web hosting account. This space is used to store your html files, graphics, audio/video files, e-mails, database and any other files that may make up your web site. With WebIsDesign you benefit from having 1000 MB of disk space with our Universal plan - enough space to publish any type of web site. However, if your site will have many multimedia files or other heavy-duty content, consider using our Business plan. It gives you 10 000 MB of disk space and the freedom to grow without having to worry about space constraints.	1,000 MB	10,000 MB
Data TransferOur Universal plan comes with 20 GB (gigabytes) monthly traffic free-of-charge. Sites that go over their bandwidth limit are charged HK$ 39 per each additionally generated GB. If you need more bandwidth, consider our Business plan: its 200 GB/mo. traffic allowance should meet the requirements of almost any site. The charge for additional bandwidth with the Business plan is HK$ 24 per GB on our servers in Hong Kong.	20 GB/Month	200 GB/Month
Free SubdomainsSubdomains are individual Web addresses built upon a pre-existing domain name, e.g. sub.example.com. For example, if you wish to have a separate web site for your sales department, you could create a subdomain called sales.example.com. This way the URL of your sales web site will look more professional and thus add to the total competence of your web presence. With WebIsDesign you can have as many subdomains as you need. We offer up to 15 subdomains as part of our Universal hosting plan and 150 for our Business plan. If you need more, there is a small one-time fee of HK$ 39 per additional subdomain for the Universal plan or HK$ 24 for the Business plan.	15	150
MySQL DatabasesWe offer MySQL support with all our packages. Ten MySQL databases are included with our Universal plan, and 100 with our Business plan. You can manage your MySQL databases through the online phpMyAdmin Database Manager, found in the Control Panel. You can also enable remote access for your MySQL users through the Control Panel.	10	100
Domain ParkingWhen you have a domain parked on your account it will act the same way as your primary domain. It will show the same site and any e-mail sent to the parked domain will be delivered to the mailboxes you already have for the primary domain. So for example if you have example.com, example.net and example.org, and need all of them to open your Web site, domain parking may be the right solution for you. With our Universal plan you can have up to five additional domains parked at your primary domain. If you need to have more parked domains, consider our Business plan, where 50 domain parking slots are available.	5	50
FTP Sub AccountsWith FTP sub-accounts you can allow other people to manage certain areas of your site without providing them with your account login information. With our Universal plan you can have up to 15 FTP sub-accounts. If you need more, consider our Business hosting plan, where 150 FTP sub-accounts are available.	15	150
WebmailEach WebIsDesign account comes with a complete Webmail solution, so you can check your e-mail anytime, anywhere. Your mailbox has its own address book, basic and advanced e-mail filters, as well as multi-language e-mail support. You can view, compose, forward, save, and edit your messages, as well as set privacy options, and customize most other features. The address of your online Webmail is easy to remember - just add "/webmail" after your domain name, such as http://www.example.com/webmail. Enter your e-mail account username and password, and you are ready to go!
FTP AccessYou may use your favorite FTP program to upload and download files anytime from anywhere. You can also set an FTP account for each subdomain you have.
SMTP, POP3, IMAP ServersSMTP: Our SMTP servers allow you to send e-mail from your own domain email address. Bear in mind that the SMTP server is using the POP-before-SMTP authentication method. What this means for you is that you will always have to log into the incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP) before being able to send through the outgoing mail server. POP3: POP3 is the most common and most widely used protocol for retrieving e-mail messages. All e-mail clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc.) support the POP3 protocol. It is also fully supported by our servers, with the added capability of using APOP (Authenticated POP), which allows you to transmit your password securely. IMAP: Our IMAP server will permit your "client" e-mail program (e.g. Eudora, Outlook) to access remote messages stored as if they were local. For example, e-mail stored on an IMAP server can be accessed from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
Linux-basedOur servers are running a heavily-customized version of Debian Linux, one of the most stable server operating systems available.
Online Control PanelOur in-house developed online Control Panel allows you to manage every feature of your hosting account. Following are some (not all) of the options available to you: - Update your contact information. - Upload and edit files online. - Create and delete subdomains. - Park more domains to your account. - Check detailed site statistics. - Create and manage mail accounts. - Create and manage FTP users. - Create and manage MySQL databases. - Install various scripts in your account. - Enable/disable the FrontPage server extensions. - Protect parts of your web site. It is easy to remember how to access your online Control Panel - just add "/cp" after your domain name, such as http://www.example.com/cp.
Custom 404 PageWith your WebIsDesign website you can create a custom 404 error page for your visitors. This can help you retain visitors who may leave if they get the standard "File not found" page. With a little customization, you can make your 404 page consistent with your site design and much more informative, and provide your visitors with the chance to navigate to other places in your site.
PERL, PHP5, PHP4, Python, Ruby and TCLWe always do our best to provide our customers with the latest and most stable versions of available programming languages. We offer support for Perl, PHP 5.2, PHP 4.4, Python, Ruby and TCL.
Spam ProtectionSpam is a nuisance for all of us, and for some it causes serious and costly disruptions to their Web enterprises. At WebIsDesign, we are not sitting around letting the spammers call the shots. Your first line of attack are our mail filters, which selectively bounce messages, based on the content of an e-mail’s headers. For more power, use SpamAssassin to scan your incoming mail and determine the probability of a mail message being spam. Enabling SpamAssassin globally makes it process any message sent to your domain, while enabling it per-user will make it scan only the messages destined for a particular mailbox.
Anti-virus SoftwareE-mail transmitted worms and viruses have recently become quite a problem not only for users around the world, but for Internet Service Providers as well. Here at WebIsDesign we employ a simple but very powerful anti-virus solution. When enabled, the anti-virus software will scan all incoming messages. In case viruses are found, the server will not deliver the infected messages to the user's mailbox. The anti-virus software is disabled by default, and can be enabled from the Mail Manager in the online Control Panel.
Unlimited Number of E-mail AccountsWith WebIsDesign, you can have an unlimited number of e-mail accounts with each domain name you host with us. The mailing system we operate allows you to configure custom auto-responders for each mail account as well as automatic forwarding to one or more e-mail addresses. Also, our mail servers allow you to manage each mail account via POP3 or IMAP locally from your machine.
24/7 Tech SupportSuperior customer service is our highest priority at WebIsDesign. Our highly-skilled technical support team is at your service 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. You can send your questions or requests through our ticketing system at suresupport.com by simply completing an online form. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as your ticket is answered – within one hour, guaranteed, and often much sooner.
Super-fast ServersOur servers are specially designed for our hosting environment. Built with the most reliable server components, they are with 2x Quad-core Xeon processors, 8 GB RAM and RAID 6 disk arrays. The hot-swap HDDs, power supply units and cooling fans allow repairs/replacement of these components while the machine stays online. This design brings the hardware reliability to a highest level.
Can Host ANY DomainWe can host any domain name extension. Just register your Web site name and set the DNS servers for it to the ones we will give you, or use your own DNS servers and set up a zone to point to our server's IP address.
WAP SupportWAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a specification for a set of communication protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices, such as cellular telephones and PDA devices, can be used for accessing information over the internet. Our servers are configured to handle applications and scripts that deliver WAP content.
Automated Monitoring SystemOur automated monitoring system allows us to keep track of the status of our servers in real time and also keeps a log of their past state. SNMP monitoring is set up remotely from several locations around the world to our servers. This allows us to spot any major connectivity issues and act early to resolve them as soon as possible. Additionally, each server collects data about the services running on it (web, MySQL, FTP, mail, etc.), and reports it to the monitoring system every minute. Any values exceeding the predefined thresholds trigger an alert to our 24/7 support team about a possible problem with the particular server. Our support staff then investigates any such occurrence, and makes sure everything is working properly. This design of the monitoring system allows us to detect any problems at the earliest posisble moment, and take immediate measures to fix them. All minute-by-minute data for each server is kept in a log, which allows us to follow a server's status in the past, analyze its behavior, and follow up any issues that our customers may have experienced.
Daily BackupsWe perform daily system backups, which are kept for seven days on a separate backup server. The archived data includes the files, the mail messages and the MySQL databases that are present on the server at the time the backup is performed. Customers can also create their own backups and download them or keep them in their hosting accounts. Backed up data can be restored through the web hosting Control Panel.
