Basic hosting allows you to create a static - or unchanging - web presence with almost no startup costs and a very low monthly fee. Sites hosted under this plan have the benefit of providing you with a powerful Internet presence and the services that you need without breaking your budget. You can have your own domain name (www.yourcompany.com) as well as your own e-mail addresses. If you already have a domain name, you can transfer it to our servers. You can develop or deploy very large and full-featured sites with this type of hosting as well as generating new clients. This type of hosting supports a variety of web programming languages and graphics features which are detailed below.

Basic hosting supports many web based programming languages. These can be used to enhance a site, add a feature, preprocess forms, etc. This gives you the flexibility that you need to make a lasting impression on your web site visitors.

Supported Programming Languages

HTML 4.0	HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. This is the primary programming language on the Internet. The 4.0 standard is the latest one authorized for use on the web. This is a client side feature.
Javascript	Javascript, originally launched by Netscape as LiveScript, provides you with the ability to run scripts and create enhanced features in your web site. There are many stock javascripts currently available on the Internet. The text floating after the mouse on this page is an example of Javascript. This language is supported by Netscape, Internet Explorer, Konqueror, Mosaic and Opera. Basic hosting supports separate .js source files as well as Javascript embedded in a web page. This is a client side feature.
VB Script	Visual BASIC Script - or VBscript - is Microsoft's proprietary language. It allows you to create interesting and advanced effects in your web pages. This language is not as popular as Javascript and will only run in Internet Explorer. This is a client side feature.
Java 2.0	This is a programming language created by Sun Microsystems. It provides you with the ability to run very advanced web page features. Java applets are entire programs that download from the server and run. They can be used for visual effects, chat rooms and navigation features. This is a client side feature.
Style Sheets	Cascading style sheets are a relatively new feature in web pages on the Internet. They allow complex formatting of web pages, layers and interactive elements. Your site will support the current CSS 2.0 standard and external style sheet files are supported. This is a client side feature.
DHTML	Dynamic HTML provides you with the ability to create animated, interactive web sites that can provide features that tantalize a visitors experience as well as draw them further into your site. This is a relatively new, but very powerful tool. This is a client side feature.
Shockwave	Shockwave provides your site with the latest and greatest in interaction. Although this type of content requires a plug-in that most people don't have installed, it can't be beat for compelling content. This is a client side feature.
Flash	Flash provides your site with anything from navigational elements to graphical elements. You can include sound, vector graphics, raster graphics and other elements in a timeline that is then run in a sequence. The animation in the blue bar at the top of this page is an example of a Flash element. This is a client side feature.

Basic hosting provides you with access to your web site through Secure Shell and FTP. This provides you with a method for sending files to your site to implement new web pages or simply update pages that you already have. Using telnet you can view, change rename or otherwise manipulate files on your web site.
