Q. Can I host my site made with Front Page on a Linux server? Don't I need Windows hosting?
A. Yes you can! FrontPage extensions are available for all plans. You do not require Windows-based hosting to use Front Page.

Q. I use Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP on my personal computer for designing my web site. Do I need Windows-based hosting? I use a Mac - can I host my site with you?
A. The operating system of your computer does not come into play when deciding hosting options. The server is independent of your machine type. So we can host sites created with any platform! The majority of web hosting servers today are based on Linux, even though the majority of personal computers are based on Windows.

Q. Do you offer Windows NT/2000/XP hosting plans?
A. No we do not. We offer reliable, high-quality Linux-based web hosting only.

Q. Do you support ASP (Active Server Pages)?
A. No, we do not provide ASP support at this time. Many developers find PHP (see below) to be a better alternative for dynamic content generation.

Q. Do you support PHP4?
A. Yes, we support this web design feature, including its integration with MySQL database. GD support and Zend optimizer are installed as well.

Q. Do you offer MySQL?
A. Yes, one MySQL database is included with all plans. Additional databases may be purchased if needed.

Q. Do you support Cold Fusion?
A. At this time we do not. We may be able to bring this feature to you in the future, so be sure to check back with us!

Q. Do you support JSP?
A. At this time we do not offer JSP. We may be able to bring this feature to you in the future, so be sure to check back with us!

Q. How many mail boxes do I get?
A. You get 25 mail entries which can each be set up as POP mailboxes and/or forwarders, or aliases - each with autoresponder capability.

Q. Can you have email sent to multiple aliases or addresses?
A. Yes you can. Your Control Center has an option for this scenario.

Q. Do you support Server Side Includes (SSI)?
A. Yes we do, with the exception of "EXEC CMD" for security reasons. See our Support Library page for more information on SSI.

Q. How do I order a parked domain? How does a parked domain work?
A. You can order a parked domain by simply clicking on the "Order Parked Domains" button in your control center (look for the parking meter icon). You just fill out a simple form and your parked domain is created within 24 hours. Parked domains cost a one-time fee of $19, with no monthly charges. Domain registration fees are separate of course.

A parked domain is another domain name that you register, but it contains no content. Instead, it redirects traffic to another existing domain. For example, if "site2.com" is a parked domain pointing at "site1.com", when people type "site2.com" in their browser they will be directed to the content at "site1.com", yet the address will remain "site2.com" in their browser. Email traffic will "flow-through" a parked domain and follow the Mail Manager rules you set up at the "real" domain. You can also register parked domains with search engines.
