At Bad Dog Hosting we offer the leading features in the industry. They are explained
in detail below. Not all of the accounts we offer include the features
explained below. For the breakdown, check out the specific packages
for exact feature listings.
Setup:
Setup includes all parts of establishing your domain name on our network. We register or transfer
your domain with the Internic, setup your account on our server, and configure the control panel
for your account.
Email Addresses:
Our email addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as POP boxes which store mail,
email aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as autoresponders.
Disk Space (MB):
One MB of disk space can hold several hundred text pages or images. Most sites use less
than one MB of disk space. The amount of space provided to each account varies based on
the package selected.
Data Transfer:
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain. A large number of sites
have less than 1000MB of traffic per month, but popular sites could use three or four
times that.
True Domain Name:
Each of our web sites comes with its very own domain name that you decide. So, for example,
the name of the web site might be www.securebiz.com, or www.di.to. A true domain is when
you get your very 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.
Static IP Address:
Each account comes with a static IP address. A static IP address means the IP address
(the number of your site) never changes. Some hosting companies use dynamic IP addressing,
which means the IP number is different each and every time you connect to the server or they
have several domains use 1 IP address. A static IP address provides your site with a
never-changing solid address, which allows you to use it when FTPing files, or pinging your
site, etc. A static IP allows you to have a true domain name.
Free Domain Modifications:
We will send in your modification form to the Internic at your
request. The Internic does not charge for transfering a domain
from another provider over to our servers.
FTP:
FTP is used to upload and download files. 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.
Telnet(SSH):
Many users are not at all familiar with telnet and just as many do not need to use it. Telnet
allows you to get a shell on our Linux servers. The implementation of telnet that we use is
called SSH, Which is a secured shell account to reduce risk of hacking.
