Domain Registration:
InterNIC is the database system used to
control registration of all website
domain names in the U.S. If you want your
own domain name, you must first register
it. AeroHOST is a registration agency, so
we can do this for you. We can also
provide non-domain accounts for those
that require total privacy.
A Non-Domain name looks like
this:
http://username.aerohost.net
A domain name looks like
this:
http://yourname.com
The advantages of having your
own domain are:
-Easier for visitors to
remember
-Better listing priority in
search engines
-Ability to move to different
server without having to change
name. |
| Live Statistics: Our
system uses a unique 'live statistics'
program to generate continuous, detailed
information regarding the traffic on your
website. It is far superior to the
conventional system of undecipherable log
files delivered weekly or monthly.
See
Demo |
| Search Engine Reports:
Find out what 'search phrases' your
visitors typed in which search engine to
find your site. Another invaluable
marketing tool. |
| Unlimited Page Counters:
You may use page counters which DO NOT
show you how long a visitor stayed on
your site, or what they looked at. Not
much point if you have our 'live
statistics' system. |
| Site Access via FTP (File
Transfer Protocol): This is a simple,
internet based method of transferring
files to (and from) your website, giving
you complete control over content. See

ASP/PHP Support: ASP is
an open, compile-free application
environment in which you can combine

Similar in function to ASP, but with
cross-platform support, PHP is a server-side,
HTML embedded scripting language that lets you
create dynamic web pages. |
| CGI Script Support: CGI
Scripts can be used to enhance websites
in many ways, from simple page counters
to forms management. |
| Storage Space Mb:
Maximum hard drive storage space for your
website files. We do not charge for

never exceed our generous
limits. |

Maximum amount of data per month due to
traffic on your website. This can be
monitored with the statistics program. We
do not charge for occasional excesses.
Most users will never exceed our generous
limits. |
| Domain Aliasing: If you
have several registered domains, such as
'cardorders.com' and 'ordercar.com', it
can be set up so that visitors will see
your main site at
'carorder.com'. |
| Email POP Accounts: An
internet 'mailbox' that allows you to
receive electronic mail from anywhere in
the world at no
charge. |
| User Control of Email
Setup: A web browser interface is
provided - add/delete/modify email
addresses, including passwords,
autoresponders, etc. |
| Email Browser Access:
Check and maintain your email through any
web browser while you're away - messages
will still be there when you get back (if
you don't delete them) |
| Email Forwarding: Your
email can be automatically forwarded to
your local mailbox so you don't have to
maintain two mail
accounts. |
| Email Aliasing: If you
have multiple mail addresses on our
server, they can be 'aliased' to a single
mailbox so you don't need to maintain
multiple accounts. |
| Email Autoresponders:
Automatically send a response message to
received mail. |
| MS Access Compatible:
Microsoft Access is a powerful, user
friendly database system that can be
either server-based or used remotely.

| Windows Media Server: A
system for providing real-time audio
