Anonymous FTP
Anonymous FTP allows anyone to upload and download
content from your disk space. Anonymous FTP is not
available for our virtual hosting customers. Dedicated
and co-located customers may have Anonymous FTP enabled
on their servers if they desire.
ASP Scripting
ASP stands for Active Server Pages. ASP allows
developers to utilize the latest in server-side
scripting technologies using VBScript, JavaScript, or
PerlScript. ASP is much like CGI programming, but
designed for the NT Platform.
Data Transfer / Hits
Any traffic to and from your Web site is data transfer.
Visitors surfing to your site, as well as published
updates to your website, is data transfer.
Detailed Web
Server Statistics
We give you real-time,
web-based, access to track your web usage statistics
such as what domains are accessing your web site, how
many "hits" you are getting, how much data is being
transferred and more.

Data Storage / Disk
Space
Disk space is the amount of space your Web page occupies
on a server's hard drive.
Domain Registration
Chapel offers virtual domain Web hosting accounts which
means you can have your own Web address or "domain name"
(eg: www.yourname.com). We can handle domain name
registration or transfers on your behalf. (ie: .com,
.net, .org, etc.). Internic charges $35 to register a
domain name which covers the first twelve months. Most
Web hosting companies will simply have Internic bill you
separately for this fee. Chapel covers this initial
expense for you.
Domain Name
Pointers
Additional domain pointers are an excellent way to drive
more traffic to your Web site. Domain pointers allow
other domain names to lead visitors to your main Web
site.
E-Mail Auto Responders
Auto responders send an automatic e-mail back to those
who e-mail your Web page. For example, confirmation of
online orders.
E-Mail POP3
E-mail that comes with your hosting package. Your e-mail
can be set-up from our Web-based control panel to read
[email protected].
E-Mail Aliases /
Forwarders
The ability to forward your e-mail to any other e-mail
address.
Microsoft®
FrontPage® Extensions
Software we place on our servers that gives the ability
to utilize all of FrontPage's® abilities.
FTP
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is the method used to
transfer files to and from your website.
Java Servlets
Servlets are Java-based applications installed on a
server that run all the time. Currently we do not
support the use of Java Servlets on our servers.
Mail
Forwarding
You can configure any of your
POP3 mail accounts to forward some or all mail it
receives to an existing e-mail address provided by your
local internet provider. For example all mail sent to
[email protected] could be set to go to
[email protected]
or whatever address you are accustomed to checking.
Microsoft® Access
Database
Access databases allow you to create Web sites capable
of dynamically generated Web pages, simple search
engines, small shopping carts, and other features that
require the storage of data for retrieval by Web site
visitors. To use Access databases, you will need to have
knowledge in ASP and VBScript programming.
Microsoft® SQL
Database
Microsoft SQL is a high-end database system capable of
hundreds of thousands of transactions per day. If your
Web site does a large number of database transactions
and you are using an Access database, you may want to
upgrade to an SQL database. SQL databases are not only
faster, but they are more flexible, and they can take
the stress that will make an Access database fail.
Microsoft® Index
Server
A search engine facility for NT-based Web sites.
Microsoft®
Visual InterDev 6.0
A tool commonly used for designing large Web sites that
use multiple databases, and require large amounts of ASP
code. Visual InterDev also uses special extensions for
some of its advanced features. While you may use Visual
InterDev for building pages that use databases and
require much ASP code, the special InterDev extensions
are not supported with our Web hosting plans. Dedicated
and co-located servers may have these extensions
installed if needed.
MySQL Database
An SQL database program for UNIX servers.
POP3 Mail Accounts
In addition to mail
forwarding, users have the option to retrieve e-mail
directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an
email program such as Microsoft's Outlook. Each of our
plans includes a Master account which can control the
settings for any optional configurable email accounts.
Each of our plans also offers a specified number of
configurable email accounts. The additional accounts can
be assigned unique ids and passwords to ensure privacy.
You can also purchase additional email accounts if
needed.
Password Protected
Pages
Password protected pages allow you to restrict access to
certain Web pages with the use of passwords.
Raw Log Files
Used for statistical analysis.
Real Audio / Video
Technology from RealNetworks™ that allows Web pages to
stream audio and video.
Shockwave
A multimedia program by MacroMedia.
Shopping Cart
Gives customers the ability to place items for purchase
in a virtual "shopping cart." These items can then be
purchased at one time when "checking out." We
offer two "flavors" of Shopping Cart. CART-32 and
SHOPSITE
SSL Encryption
SSL, or Security Socket Layer, encrypts your customers'
credit card numbers, as well as other confidential
information. This allows for secure online business.
When your Web page has SSL, your page will show a small
gold lock or key in the lower right hand side of your
browser.
Static IP Address
The internet's version of a telephone number. Every Web
site has its own IP address.
Unix Shells
Shell accounts allow you to log into a server with your
username and password to perform advanced programming
with technologies such as Perl, CGI, C, etc. Due to the
security issues that arise from UNIX Shell access, we
do not provide shell access.
UPS Power Backup
UPS, or uninterrupted power source, is a method used to
keep our equipment working in the event of a power
outage.
VBScript
VBScript stands for Visual Basic Scripting. VBScript is
a special subset of Microsoft® Visual Basic designed
specifically for the programming of advanced Web sites.
VBScript allows users to create dynamically generated
pages that interact with databases, along with many
other things. VBScript will not run on a UNIX server. |
