Silver Hosting Plan
Our silver hosting plan provides all the features of our Starter plan but in greater quantity, and with the addition of scripting technologies such as ASP, ASP.Net, PHP and more!

Each domain has a separate FTP account, and can be setup separately - so you can host more than one website on the same account! If you want to host domains for other people, and give them their own control panels etc you must use a reseller plan

Bandwidth is used each time someone visits your site, so if they see a page that is 3kb of html data with a 10kb picture on, they have used 13kb of bandwidth up. If you get 10 people viewing that page, thats 130kb bandwidth. We only measure the bandwidth to and from your website, we don't take into account ftp or mail bandwidth - so you can use those services as much as you like, without worrying about how much you are using! The figure given is for each month, so you get 12 times that amount in a year! Extra bandwidth can be purchased in 1GB blocks.

An FTP account allows you to upload your website or other files to our servers easily. You can use any FTP client you like on your computer to do so. You can find FTP clients at many software download sites, or can even use ones built into some browsers such as Internet Explorer.

Each POP3/IMAP account is an email address that can store e-mails. You can check it using a mail client such as Outlook, Outlook Express etc or using our included webmail.. The space used by your mail accounts is counted towards the your main disk space quota for the plan.

We support the use of MySQL databases on our server which are used mostly with PHP scripts, but can also be used with other languages (such as ASP, ASP.Net etc through MyODBC which we also have installed). We also have phpMyAdmin to enable you to manage your databases. The space used by your MySQL databases is counted towards the your main disk space quota for the plan.

ASP "Classic" is a scripting language from Microsoft to allow you to add dynamic content to your websites. You can write your own scripts to do almost anything, or use many of the pre-written scripts that you can find on the internet. We have the IIS6 as our web server, which fully supports the latest version of ASP. A large number of ASP Components are included, please see the main plan information pages for details.

Microsoft's newest scripting technology is the successor to ASP. More than just a new language, its a whole new way of programming for the web! We support the .Net Framework version 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 on our servers. See the Microsoft ASP.Net Site and .Net Framework @ MSDN for further information on the technology.

As recommended by Microsoft, in order to maintain a secure server environment, ASP.Net is run in a trust level known as "Medium Trust" (with a few modifications to allow for additional features) on our servers. If you will be running commercial scripts, please ensure that the developer has made their script compatiable with this trust level before purchasing. If you have any questions about what can be run in this trust level, please do not hesitate to contact sales or support.

PHP is another scripting language which allows the addition of dynamic elements to your websites. It is normally (but not always) used in conjunction with MySQL, and many pre-made scripts can be found on the internet if you do not wish to write your own

Perl is another popular scripting language which allows you to add dynamic content to your site. Pre-made scripts can be downloaded from the internet and used, however please note that as this is a Windows server some scripts may have compatibility problems. We would recommend ASP or ASP.Net if you are making scripts to run on our servers

SmarterStats is an advanced statistics package which will give you detailed information on your visitors and their browsing habits. Find out what files are using the most bandwidth, or where in the world your visitors come from! You can see a demo of SmarterStats 3 on the developers website: www.smartertools.com
