  Feature

Description and Benefits
  Webspace This is the amount of space available for your use on your Virtual Server.
  Bandwidth  This is the amount of http (visitor) and ftp "traffic," including downloading and uploading of your website.
  POP Mailboxes Our email addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as POP boxes which store mail, email aliases, which redirect mail to another account, or as autoresponders, which allow you to automatically send text messages. With OnNet you get our own POP and SMTP servers so you no longer have to rely on your ISP for email.
  Mailing Lists Through your Web Control Panel you will be able to create and manage mailing lists for your site. Our SmartList automated mailing list program allows you to send email to a large number of your customers or "opt-in" email contacts. Few hosting companies included automated mailing lists with their hosting packages and those that do charge extra. You can even setup moderated Discussion Groups and Newsletters with SmartList!
   Shopping Cart Our Shopping Cart is a highly configurable, database driven shopping cart program that can store up to one thousand. You can customize the cart pages with the "look and feel" of the rest of your site. Includes a Web-Based Interface for adding and updating products! Basic version included free with the Commerce package.
 Virtual 
 Nameservers
With your own personal nameservers you have complete management of your domain. Your whois interNIC record will appear with ns.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com and you can add your own custom configurations to your nameserver using the control panel. Available for Reseller and Corporate accounts.
General Features
 Free Domain
 Registration
 or Transfer
When you setup an account with us, we register your domain name free of charge. If you are moving  from another host, we can help you expedite the move without incurring any costs or downtime.
 True Domain
 (static IP)
With OnNet you get your own domain name with a dedicated IP address. Beware of hosts that offer virtual hosting, or "fake" domain accounts -- this means they put several domain names under the same IP and fool most browsers into redirecting themselves to a sub-directory on the server. This method limits the features of your website and won't allow your domain to be seen by many search engines and some browsers.
  Web-Based 
  Control Panel
Our incredible Web Control Panel allows you to manage all aspects of your account through an easy web interface. With the click of a mouse you can administer your webspace, setup email accounts, manage directories, manage mailing lists, access your cgi-bin, password protect pages, view graphical stats, setup a shopping cart, and much more! Sign up for a Reseller account, and you can even configure the Control Panel with your own Company Name for your clients!
  Front Page 
  2002 Support
We provide support for Microsoft's popular Front Page Software for managing your site. Through the control panel you have the ability to toggle the Front Page extensions on and off for your domain.
  Online Billing and
  Account Mgmt. 
All your customer and billing information is immediately accessible to you via your web control panel at all times. This makes it easy for you to keep track of your activity, print invoices, and change information regarding your account.
  Web Forms Our special "form-to-email" program takes the contents of a form submission and emails you the data to the address you specify. This is critical if you want to collect information from your visitors.
  Form to PGP Mail This utility is very similar to Form to Email, except it uses your PGP key to encrypt the message before sending it to you. Your PGP key is installed with the control panel.
  Graphical Visitor  
  Statistics
Detailed usage statistics are generated for all of our hosting plans. These detailed statistics can show you what domains are accessing your site, how many "hits" you are getting, how much data is being transferred, what type of browsers people are using to look at your site, which search engines they are coming from, and more. You may use our built-in analysis program to view your usage statistics, or a third-party usage stats analysis program to analyze the raw log files generated in your account.
  OC12 "OnNet"
  Connections
The Virtual Server system is connected to the Internet via one of the fastest Internet backbones available: 1 OC12 and 2 OC3s (155 Mbps) plug directly into the OC48 backbones of Global Crossing and Genuity just a few floors below our NOC. The bandwidth of an OC12 is 620 Mbps or about 400 times larger than a T1! 
Email Features
 POP/Auth Email With POP/Auth email, mobile users can send and receive their mail from anywhere around the world using their domain name. For the mobile user, this is a great advantage because complicated access files no longer need to be updated and maintained. Very few hosting companies offer this because of the complex programming involved to set it up.
 Web-Based Email Our Web Mail Check is a proprietary Web Mail program that allows you to check and manage email from any Web Browser. With this slick package, you can even offer Web Mail on your domain to site visitors!
 Autoresponders An autoresponder allows you to have an email message sent automatically whenever someone emails a specific autoresponder name. For example, you could set up a price list and have users email prices@yourdomain.com to immediately receive your price list by email.
 Mailing List Manager This allows you to create and manage automated mailing lists right from your web browser. You can create listserv style automated mailing lists and even integrate them with your web forms for automatic subscriptions. All you need to do to send mail is send an email to the list name and it goes out to all subscribers!
FTP/Telnet Features
FTP Access FTP is the method you use to upload and download files to and from your virtual server.
Anonymous FTP Access You can allow anonymous FTP access to visitors wishing to download or upload files to your web site as if you were running your own FTP server. 
 Secure Telnet  (SSH) Access Many users are not at all familiar with telnet and just as many do not need to use it. Telnet allows you to get a shell on our Unix servers. The implementation of telnet that we use is called SSH, which ensures the security of our servers. 
  Scripting/Developer Features
 System cgi-bin 
  with free scripts
All accounts have access to our system cgi-bin for installing clocks, counters, and setting up web forms.
 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 applications in your own cgi-bin. Unlike other hosting companies, we do not restrict you from using custom scripts.
 Perl, C, Sh, Java,
 Python
We have enjoyed being a favorite choice of computer programmers building web sites. For this reason, we always given programmers the most recent versions of the hottest programs needed to build their web applications.
 Pre-installed Perl 
 & Apache modules
Developers have full access to a slew of pre-installed Perl and Apache modules so they can develop advanced scripts.
 PHP 4.0 Support Not only do we provide you with PHP support, but the majority of our system tools and design projects are done by our staff in PHP. PHP is compiled as a module with MySQL, gdbm, and gd support.
 Java Servlets Java servlets provide developers with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality of a web server and for accessing existing business systems. With our servlet support and proprietary Java Servlet Manager, you have full access to the entire family of Java API's, including the JDBCTM API to access enterprise databases. Our Servlet Manager allows you to setup servlet zones right from your Web Browser!
Database Features
  Flat File Database We support the simplest form of ascii text databases.
  MySQL with 
  Web Setup
MySQL is our GNU database of choice. We develop all of our own products with MySQL or Oracle. We encourage all mSQL and postgresQL users to migrate to MySQL.
  gdbm gdbm is a simple light standard Unix database which we support.
Advanced Features
Site Builder 
Software
All clients have access to our Instant Site Builder software through your control panel. This makes it easy for anyone to create a basic site directly from your web browser. If you can surf the web, you can built your website with this tool!
 Site Search Engine In the control panel you can specify which directories you want searchable by our high powered WAIS index and search utility. You can then provide users with lightning fast content.
 Custom error
  pages
Because you get a true virtual sever you can add custom error pages to all accounts, such as 404 error pages. This ensures that visitors who land on an outdated page will be taken to the main part of your site.
 "Catch-all" email
   account
Our virtual servers come with a " catch-all" email account that will direct  anything@yourdomain.com to the email address you specify. That way, you never lose mail that is misdirected due to typos or clients not knowing the correct address.
 Web-Based File 
 Management
Our exclusive 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.
 Password Manager You have complete control over changing your passwords for ftp, your control panel, and POP mailboxes. This is done through your web control panel.
Multimedia Features
 Real Audio/Video 
 Streaming
We do not have a real audio/video server. However, we do support real audio/video streaming for no extra charge.

When Real Audio/Video first came out, it required an audio/video server to be installed on the web server. This was because Real Audio/Video wanted to charge for each "stream'" or visitor. But soon people started writing competitive audio/video streaming technology that didn't require a special server. So, to compete, Real Audio/Video now does not require a server, and you can even use their free tools to create streaming audio over the Internet.

 Macromedia 
 Shockwave
Macromedia Shockwave allows you to bring your web content to life. Shockwave support allows your site to host Shockwave content.
Mime Type Manager The ability to manage mime types gives you full control of which software programs will work with your site. Mime types are managed through the control panel.
 E-Commerce  Features
 Web-Based 
 Shopping Cart
Alacart is a highly configurable, database- driven shopping cart program that can store up to one thousand of products. You can also install any third-party cart that runs on Linux.
 Secure Server (SSL) With OnNet there is no need to pay an extra fee for Secure Encryption (SSL). We include the Apache SSL software with all accounts and allow you to share our Digital Certificate at no additional charge. If you decide to get your own Digital Certificate for your domain you can easily set that up because we have automated the setup in the Control Panel. 
 Cybercash,
 Verisign 
 & Authorize.net  
  Support
Cybercash/Verisign and Authorize.net are online credit card processors (or gateways) that allow you to process charges automatically via your website. If you register with them, you can then install the local config for your domain on our servers with the Control Panel.
 Merchant Accounts We can help you get setup with a merchant account through our credit card processor. No application fee for OnNet clients.
 Reseller Features
