Basic Hosting Features
Feature Description
Your Own Domain Hosting After you register a domain, you can make your website active on the Internet by getting your site hosted by ImHosted.com. (e.g. yourdomain.com)
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, POP3 mail messages, pdfs, and other files that make up your web site. Each of our plans includes a very generous amount of space which is substantially more than what most web hosting companies provide.
Monthly Data Transfer Monthly data transfer is the amount of information that is transmitted to/from your Web space. Each time a picture or HTML page is viewed by a visitor, you upload data using FTP, or email is received it adds to your monthly data transfer. The average HIT is approximately 10k. This would mean that a transfer limit of 4.0 Gigabytes would allow 400,000 hits. All ImHosted.com™ accounts receive generous amounts of data transfer. You can monitor your monthly transfer in your control panel.

*A note on Unlimited Transfer offerings* Numerous people have asked us why we don't offer unlimited bandwidth? The answer is simple. The numerous providers who say they offer unlimited bandwidth are actually telling you a false statement. If you read the fine print, "Unlimited bandwidth means you may not use more then 10% of our resources". This usually means they cut you off at 50 megabytes per day. We will not cut you off due to extra usage.
Unmetered Hits We do not track or restrict the number of visitors accessing your website or the number of pages that are viewed.
OS Platform Our automated systems are Linux-based which is known around the world for it's stability and scalability. Being the most used platform on the Internet today, it suits the needs of both beginner and advanced web hosts.
POP3 E-mail Accounts In addition to email forwarding, users have the option to retrieve email directly from their POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an email program such as Eudora, Microsoft Outlook or web based email. POP3 email accounts are accounts that you setup using your domain name i.e. sales@yourdomain.com or me@yourdomain.com. You can manage your POP3 email accounts easily from your control panel.
Email Auto Responders Auto responders are a very useful tool for distributing information to interested prospects. An auto responder is simply a program which instantly sends a pre-written message back to a person who sends an e-mail to a specified address. For instance, if a customer were to send an email order to orders@yourdomain.com, you could arrange for a Thank You email to be automatically sent to them.
Email Forwarders E-mail forwarders are accounts which simply forward e-mail to a pre-designated e-mail address. E-mail sent to separate POP3 mail accounts end up in a single location. Email Forwarders can easily be removed/added via our control panel.
Email Alias An email alias is basically another name of your email account. It allows you to create alternative email addresses without creating a user account. What an alias does is to point to a specific email addrss. For example, you can have an alias called "help" and forward it to maindesk@yourdomain.com. However, you won't be able to send emails from an alias, because it is not a real email account..
Web-based Email Access (Webmail) In addition to your POP3 email accounts, you'll have web based mail that allows you to access your email accounts from any browser, anywhere in the world. This is a nice feature for someone who travels or needs access to email at different locations. We include 3 webmail tools for checking your mail when on the move. They are: Neomail, Horde IMP and SquirrelMail.
Email Manager/Mail Management Tools We give you powerful tools to manage your email activities. From creating POP accounts to managing huge mailing lists, it's all easy with our online control panel. Using our mail management tools you can:
  • Manage POP e-mail boxes
  • Manage E-mail aliases (forwarders)
  • Manage Auto-responders
  • Change your default mail address

  • Create SPAM filters
  • Manage mailing lists.
Sub-domains Sub-domains allow for the use of URLs like subdomain.yourdomain.com. This feature is useful if you want to divide up your site into different sections. The document root for your sub-domain will be the subdirectory that has the same name as your sub-domain prefix. For example: http://example.yourdomain.com is the same as http://yourdomain.com/example/. You can easily add/remove sub-domains from the control panel.
Domain Pointers
(URL Forwarding)		 This is a domain name that redirects a visitor to another Web location of your choice, allowing you to have multiple domain names for one site, such as www.yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.net.
Unlimited FTP Access FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is the most acceptable method for transferring files from client to server. All of our packages include unlimited access to your account via FTP 24 hours a day. This way you can update your site whenever you want, giving you full control.
Anonymous FTP Server Anonymous FTP allows clients to take advantage of the FTP protocol for visitors to their website needing to download large files without a login or password for each visitor. Anonymous FTP can be installed and uninstalled automatically. Clients login to your anonymous FTP site by FTPing to ftp.yourdomain.com. The login "anonymous" or "ftp" will work, and any password is accepted. Once they have logged in anonymously, they will automatically view the welcome message which you can customize. Users can then download any files which you have made available for them to obtain anonymously.
Interchange 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 an address you specify and a receipt is sent to the shopper. All accounts come bundled with RedHat's high-end and powerful Interchange shopping cart, an electronic commerce system that's in use by tens of thousands of merchants and web developer's world wide. In a CNET builder review, Interchange is the most recommended shopping cart system for small to medium size businesses.

SSL Server (SSL) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol which encrypts all data communicated between client/server to ensure there can be no intercepts of the data by third parties and ensures that communication is between the intended party. Encryption is very important when taking credit card numbers, or posting personal or confidential information over the Internet. Although it's way more likely for someone to steal your credit card number when you order over the telephone, we still offer you full, unlimited access to our secure server. By using our server's certificate, you save hundreds of dollars! We also offer the option to install your own personalized SSL Certificate.

Own CGI-Bin Access All customers 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.
The File Manager Your File Manager is a very powerful feature. It allows you to manipulate all the files in your web site. You are able to create, delete, and move your files. You can also upload files from your local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, you can edit the HTML in any of your files from this option. Everything you need to manage your site can be found in this feature.
FrontPage Extensions We can install Front Page extensions on your account free of charge. This allows you to use the easy-to-use Microsoft FrontPage program to create and maintain your web site. The FrontPage extensions are fully backward compatible with all versions of Microsoft Frontpage just incase you're not yet using the latest version. You can activate FrontPage extensions from within your control panel.
