We give a very generous amount of space which is substantially more than what
most web hosting companies provide. One MB of disk space can hold several
hundred text pages or images. Most sites use less than one MB of disk space. Servers located in Australia:
Our servers are located in Australia for the quickest response times and to
avoid the USA-Australia bottlneck. Why would you want all your email and
web traffic going via the US? Our network is only two network hops to big
providers such as Telstra Bigpond. Brisbane is also the jumping off point
for Australian data to the US. Reliability
Our datacentre network has been designed to keep working.
It offers full network redundancy which means in the unlikely even
of a failure, the network can quickly be re-routed to maintain
services. Network components are housed in a stable and secure
environment in Brisbane Data Centres. The network is monitored
24x7, by an experienced team of systems engineers.
Data Feeds
International data feeds are connected to Southern
Cross and Satellite
Ground Stations providing a datastream directly to the network. Domestic
traffic within Australia is delivered via multiple ATM circuits utilizing the
fast and efficient Telstra platform.

is provided using Lucent Digital Terminal
Servers with Cisco WAN and Border Routers,
interconnected with Telstra , Telstra
Clear, Southern Cross and
Satellite Services. Data Traffic:
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain. A large number
of sites have less than 1000MB of traffic per month, but popular sites could
use three or four times that. Please refer to our policies for limitation
on certain file protocols. Email Accounts:
Our e-mail addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as POP or IMAP
boxes which store mail, e-mail aliases which redirect mail to another box,
or as autoresponders. It would be accessed by a 3rd party email program like
Outlook, or Eudora. This gives you a private secure storage location for
anyone sending email to the pop box you are using. These can be setup through
your mail manager. ">Web Based

what is going on with your website, access to your raw logs is very important. Secure Socket Layer (SSL):
In order to perform secure transactions for e-commerce etc using https://yourdomain.com
you need a hosting company that will support ssl. We use Apache-SSL on all
of our servers. You can use our shared certificate or we can set you up with your own IP address for $3.00 per month so you can install your own certificate
Server Side Includes:
SSI or Server side includes, allow the server to parse special page commands.
As example if you had a footer you wanted on all your pages that may change
from time to time, you can create a text file with the desired footer and
place it in your domain. On each page you put a simple include to read that
file and place it at the bottom of the desired pages. PHP 4.2.4:
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. MySQL Database Support:
MySQL is our GNU database of choice. We develop all of our own products with
MySQL. We encourage all mSQL and postgresQL users to migrate to MySQL. Real Audio:
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. Real Video:
We support Video streaming with the Real Video Mime type as explained above. Cybercash Support:

Many users are not at all familiar with SSH and just as many do not need to
use it. SSH allows you to get a shell on our Linux servers. To use SSH, email
Netvantage for more information. Anonymous FTP:
Anonymous FTP allows visitors to your site to download files via ftp without
a password. It is disabled by default. Password Protected Pages:
