The core virtual services of
your Virtual Server System include http (web), ftp, pop, and
smtp (email). Each of these virtual services are linked to
your own domain name and are explained in detail
below (use our Domain
Name Check Form to check for availability). In
addition, we have many cgi scripts and Java applets each
with easy installation instructions customized for our
clients, as well as many popular third party applications
which are also supported by the Virtual Server environment.
Virtual Web Server
The Virtual HTTP service
provides all the power your company needs (and plenty of
bandwidth) to make exciting and motivating presentations on
the Internet or (for you resellers) to attract additional
clientele.
Your home page address
will appear as "www.yourcompany.com"
and not "www.web-design.net/~yourcompany" as it
would with a non-virtual shared service or web mall.
You also have the option
to add Netscape Compatible Encryption to your
Virtual Server. With Netscape compatible encryption, your
customers will feel confident sending you their credit
card information online because they know it will be a
secure transaction. Many other extensions, cgi
scripts, Java applets, and popular third party
applications are also available.

Virtual Server FTP
Service
The majority of Internet
traffic is FTP. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a tool that
allows users to download files made available to them on
other computer systems. Today, FTP is the workhorse of
Internet tools and can become a powerful tool for your
business.
With your Virtual FTP
Service you can allow your customers to download files
that will give them more information about your company.
For example, you could allow them to download a catalog of
your products or a price list of your services. This would
allow your customers to have instant access to your
information and also would save you on printing and
mailing costs!
Your Virtual FTP Service
will also allow you to have a simple FTP address such as "ftp.yourcompany.com"
that will appear to your customers as if you have your own
dedicated server. Both anonymous and non-anonymous
capability is available.

Virtual Server POP
Service
Post Office Protocol or POP
allows users to read their E-mail without having to log into
a server and learn a cumbersome mail program. Instead, the
user uses the operating system he or she is used to and a
POP client. There are many high quality POP clients to
choose from for nearly every major operating system
including Windows, Macintosh, and OS/2.
The Virtual POP service
allows your company to establish an Internet mail system
at a very low cost saving your company money on a
connection to the Internet. With your Virtual POP Service
you can establish as many E-mail accounts for your
business as you choose. Unlike E-mail aliasing, with the
POP service your mail is stored on your Virtual Server.
You can then very easily configure your POP client
(Eudora, Pegasus, etc.) to dial in through your local
access provider and read your mail.
Since you can create as
many E-mail addresses as you like, your company has much
more flexibility. Without a Virtual POP Service, you would
need to establish a commercial gateway at your company
using a Novell or Microsoft E-mail solution. This can cost
thousands of dollars! Another solution would be to
purchase multiple E-mail POP accounts from your local
access provider. This can also become a very costly
option.
The Virtual POP Service
allows you to establish multiple E-mail addresses at no
extra charge and access all of them with a few dial-up
accounts from your local access provider. The Virtual POP
service will literally save you hundreds, or even
thousands of dollars.

Virtual Server
IMAP Service
Internet Message Access
Protocol or IMAP is a method of accessing electronic mail
that is kept on a remote mail server (your Virtual
Server). It permits a client email program to access
remote message folders as if they were local. For example,
email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a
desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, or
a notebook computer while traveling, all without the need
to transfer messages or files back and forth between these
computers.
IMAP's ability to access
messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer
can be extremely important as reliance on electronic
messaging and use of multiple computers increase (which is
exactly what telecommuters need). However, if the mail is
only accessed from one server then Post Office Protocol
(POP) works best since it was designed to support "off-line"
message access, where messages are downloaded to the local
computer and then deleted from the Virtual Server.

Virtual Server
SMTP (Email) Service
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) or E-mail is used to send letters across local
networks or Internet lines. With your Virtual Mail Service
you can use your E-mail as a very useful business tool.
Providing E-mail access to your customers allows them to
communicate with your company without incurring a long
distance phone charge or waiting on the line for the "next
available operator". Your company also has the option
of answering the most urgent E-mail messages first. By doing
so you will foster your company's relationships with both
your existing and potential clientele.
Your Virtual SMTP Service
also allows you to alias E-mail addresses. E-mail aliasing
allows your company to have E-mail addresses linked to
your own domain. Your address might be "sales@yourcompany.com"
and not an extension of your local access providers name.
The Virtual SMTP Service forwards your incoming mail to
your E-mail account with your local access provider or an
existing POP account on your virtual server.
With unlimited E-mail
aliasing, you can have an E-mail address for customer
support, an E-mail address for service, a set of E-mail
addresses for your marketing department, and even an
E-mail address for your Mother, all at no extra cost! The
aliasing will forward the mail received for these
addresses to any E-mail account on the server or remote
accounts you already have established with your local
access provider.
