E-mail Services and Settings
E-mail Aliasing/Forwarding enables you to make up your own email names
@yourdomain.com and have email addressed to these names automatically forwarded to
any email address of your choosing. For example, you can create an email forwarding
address such as sales@mycompany.com and set this address up so that whenever anyone
sends email to sales@mycompany.com, persons A, B and C each receive a copy of this
email. The email addresses for A, B and C can be anywhere on the Internet, not just at AMC
or at yourcompany.com.
These email forwarding lists are
sometimes referred to as aliases when the list consists of a single recipient at
your own domain. For example, if you want mail directed to sales@mycompany.com and joe@mycompany.com
to both be directed to the mailbox joe@mycompany.com you would set up the alias sales
to point to the mailbox joe.
Every Web Site at AMC has up to 25
email alias/forwarding lists.
Autoresponders give you the ability
to automatically send a file to anyone when they send an empty email message to an autoresponder
email address. For example, you can set up an autoresponder email address of info@mycompany.com
and whenever anyone sends email to info@mycompany.com, they will automatically be
emailed a file created by you and placed on your web site. This is a handy method of
reaching people who have email but no web access, or who do not use web browsers.
Detailed
Statistics
Web Site Statistics with our customizable statistics program,
you can retrieve information on how many hits your website receives, how many people
visit, when they visit, and which computer network they come from.
Referrer
Statistics
The Referrer Statistics can be very useful in showing you where your website visitors are
coming from when they link to your website via some other site on the Web. You can see a
summary of each domain that points to your website together with the pages the pointers
are located in and the pages on your site that are pointed to. You can visit the referring
pages and sites simply by clicking on the link in your summary output.
Password-protected Directories
AMC clients can quickly and easily create "Members Only"
directories that are protected by a Username and Password. The creation of the
controlled-access directories and the user lists is entirely under your control via the
AMC Control Panel.
ShellAccess
All clients have UNIX shell access to their websites. Clients can
telnet into their website from any computer and test/edit scripts or HTML files with
standard UNIX editors. If required, clients can also perform certain systems-level
functions such as directory permission changes, etc.
Microsoft Frontpage Support
AMC supports both Frontpage '97 and the new Frontpage '98 web authoring programs from
Microsoft. Frontpage provides an easy way to design and update your website. It also has
convenient web bots such as a search engine, that enable you to implement certain
functions on your website that normally require sophisticated programming.
Secure Server
Using the AMC Secure Server you can provide a
safe environment to accept credit card information from your customers. This allows you to
sell your products or services over the Internet, with the highest level of security
available.
Virtual Host
A Virtual Host is a computer name that appears as though it is a
dedicated host when it is not. At AMC (and all other web hosting companies), it is not
cost-effective to place only 1 website on a computer. Normally, many websites reside on a
computer, each having it's own distinct name such as www.abc.com. To enable your
web site to appear as though it is on it's own computer, a virtual host has to be
constructed for that website name. The public can not tell the difference between a a
virtual host website and and a dedicated host website. This enables companies that want to
host a web site to use a unique computer name such as www.mycompany.com
and to look as impressive as large companies with their own dedicated servers.
Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3)
AMC's email server supports POP3 email access for AMC clients. This
means that you can read your email using any POP3-compliant email program such as EUDORA and the clients that come with the newer versions
of Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, as well as a host of other programs. Each POP3 mailbox
has it's own user ID and password, enabling you to provide private email for your
employees at surprisingly low cost.
The number of mailboxes that are
available to you depends upon the web hosting PLAN you choose
(Budget, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Gold+).
Additional Storage
Additional storage may be acquired at 50 cents per MB in 10MB blocks
($5).
Additional Bandwith
Additional bandwith costs 4 cents per MB and is calculted on a
calendar month basis.
Additional Mailboxes
Additional POP3 mailboxes cost $2 per month.
