Email account(POP3)
you@yourdomain.com
One of the biggest advantages with this service is that you can use an emailadress under your own domain instead of your ISP's. So apart from having a very personal emailadress, it looks like you have your own server even though you use our. Under your domain you can put the amount of emailadresses that includes in the account through the account administration.
Email forward
The possibility to forward email to any other mailbox. You can make everything that comes to @yourdomian.com forward to another adress like your own hotmail- or gmailadress. You can also put specific rules that yourname@yourdomain.com goes to your@hotmail.com and yourfriend@yourdomain.com goes to yourfriend@hotmail.com
Email alias
It means that you can type anything in front of @yourdomain.com and still end up coming to one single mailbox.
WebMail
In our own webmail you can read, write and administrate your email from any computer. Everything you send and recive will be encrypted so nobody else can access the information.

FrontPage 98/2000/2002 extensions

Active Server Pages (ASP)
ASP is a serverbased scriptlanguage which means that the server work up the code from the page and returns plain html to the browser.
- ASP is a very powerful langugage and is pretty "easy" to learn. If you have earlier experiences of VisualBasic or JavaScript you feel familiar at once
- ASP has many built-in functions and servervariables which makes it easier for the developers. An example could be to request the server time.
<%= TIME %>.<%= TIME %>
PHP
Another serverbased scriptlanguage just like ASP. (by our experiences we would like to say its even more powerful then ASP) It is very useful to connect to MySQL databases. (We support both PHP4 and PHP 5.x)
More information is available on www.php.net
Java Server Pages (JSP)
The advantages in JSP is partly that you develope together with a powerful programming language like Java which have access to the languages all possibilities like databashandling and TCP/IP communication. It is also not connected to a certain platform or provider.
Servlets
Java servlets is the counterpart to applets, but on the serverside. The big advantage is that the performance of Servlets is widly superior the regular CGI.
SSI (Server Side Includes)
Makes you able to use a couple of nice features like a counter or to put out some info about the visitor. (OS, browser, IP etc.)
Own cgi
The possibility to put up your own cgi-scripts is more and more important. Unlike Java, cgi is generally supported and do not get the trouble with different browsers.
Pre-installed cgi
A new account is delivered with a couple of pre-installed cgi-scripts.
* Counter
* Formmail
* Guestbook
* Random text displayer
* Site search
Statistics
Statistics shows you how many visitors you have, what they have been looking for etc. Through this you can get ideas about how to make your website even more effective.
MySQL support
MySQL is a fast and functional database which is very popular in webrelated work. Works best together with PHP but also is able to use from a couple of other scriptlanguages like CGI, JSP/Servlets and ASP.
DSN connection
A DSN connection makes it possible to connect to access databases from ASP.
AntiVirus(mail)
Our mailsystem searches through both incoming and outgoing mail for viruses. It should not be thought of as an replacement for being careful and still using personal antivirus protection.
Access to loggfilee
Gives an opportunity to download the direct loggfiles of the webtraffic from the server to use in your own software or to control a certain row.
