Web Hosting Features and Descriptions

Data Transfer:
This is the amount of network traffic transfered from your account. Most sites use less than 1000 MB of traffic per month, but popular sites may use three or four times that. To give you an example, 1000 MB is roughly equal to about 45,000 page views per month.

True Domain Name:
Each of our web sites comes with its very own domain, i.e. yourname.com. You also receive your own unique IP address on the web server. Many hosts offer 'fake virtual' domain accounts, which means they fool most browsers into redirecting themselves to the correct directory on the server. This method only works with certain browsers, is not full featured and is not a professional solution.

POP Email Accounts:
Our POP email accounts are very flexible. You can set them up as POP email boxes which store mail, email aliases which redirect email to another box, or as autoresponders.

Phone/Email Support:
Our support staff is available to help answer your questions via telephone or email every day of the week. The best way to reach someone is via email (support@cedant.com) but if you need to speak to a live person, please call (530) 753-3787.

Account Control Panel:
Our Web based account control panel allows you to manage and maintain your account with ease. It allows you to password protect directoies, install scripts, upload files, change passwords, and much more.

Money Back Guarantee:
If you are not completely satisfied with your web hosting account, you may ask for a full refund within 30 days of activation.

Disk Space (MB):
One MB of disk space can hold several hundred text pages or up to 100 images. Most sites use less than one MB of disk space.

File Manager:
The File Manager is one of the many features in your control panel. It allows you to create, delete, and move your files via your web browser. You can also upload files from your local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, you can edit the HTML in any of your files from this option.

Unlimited FTP Updates:
You may upload files to your account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no limit to the number of times you may update you web pages. In addition, almost all site design programs like Adobe Pagemill, Macromedia Dreamweaver, GoLive HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to maintain your site.

Autoresponders:
Each of email account on our system allows you to set up an autoresponder which is an automatic reply that is sent to anyone who sends an email to a given address.

Email Aliasing:
We give you the ability to set up email aliases. This allows to accept email anything@yourdomain.com.

Anonymous FTP:
Anonymous FTP allows visitors to your site to download files via ftp without a password. It is disabled by default (not available with Basic Plan).

FrontPage 98 and 2000:
Frontpage is a Microsoft page creation tool that requires special server extensions to function properly. We support both FrontPage 98 and 2000.

Server Side Includes:
Server Side Includes gives you the ability to include other files and CGI scripts into your web pages. SSI also gives you functionality such as adding the current date and last modified date for your pages. Your pages must have a .shtml extension to use SSI.

Password Protected Pages:
You can use the control panel to specify which users are allowed to access certain pages on your site. When visitors click on a certain URL, they are requested to enter a username and password which you manage through the control panel.

Site Creation Tool:
With our Web Site Creation Tool, you can quickly build and maintain your web pages with ease! This unique, intuitive tool comes with every Cedant account. There is no need for additional software, you can upload and create files directly on the web.
