All customers have access to a personal cgi-bin directory in which you can place your own custom CGI scripts. CGI scripts are often used to accomplish tasks which are not supported by basic HTML such as a "hit" counter or guest book.

ASP is a programming environment that allows you to run popular VB Script or J Script on the server. This is a major improvement in ease of use and power over the old methods of Perl and CGI. Since the code runs on the server, complexity can be added to your website's while maintaining browser independence. There are also built in components that extend the power of the approach.

In addition to mail forwarding, users have the option to retrieve e-mail directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using a e-mail program such as Eudora, or Outlook.

Once your domain name is active worldwide, you can receive all e-mail addressed to your domain such as webmaster@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com, etc. By default, all e-mail addressed to your domain will forward to your real e-mail address provided by your local internet provider. For convenience, many mail forwarding options are available if you need specific addresses to be forwarded to different addresses on the internet. For example, e-mail addressed to webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at AOL, but sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy account.
Auto responders reply to incoming e-mail automatically. An auto responder could be used to send a standard text file to persons addressing, say, info@yourname.com . If you've ever received a response to an e-mail which suggests that the recipient is away from the office, you may have received such an automated response.
All users have access to a web-based Control Panel like Plesk on our Linux servers, which allows you to set mail forwarding options, view your statistics, and more. It also allows access to other features such as setting directory permissions, etc.. Users can also update account contact information at anytime without having to contact customer support.
