    Do you offer Server Side Includes (SSI)?
    SSI is on all of our servers. You just need to be sure that you call your files with the .shtml extension. More information can be found here.

    I want Personal Nameservers. How do I add them?
    Fill out a service form.

    What software do you run?
    We run the latest stable versions of RedHat Linux with the latest stable build of Apache, PHP, and mySQL. We also have a large collection of perl modules already installed for your use.

    What is Virtual Hosting?
    Virtual Hosting is where multiple web sites (www.domain.com) are served off the same physical server. This saves each customer from purchasing their own expensive server, performing the setup and providing the appropriate environment. This is the most common method of hosting sites of small to medium size with light to moderate traffic.

    Can we add services as we grow and need them?
    All options can be added or removed at any time.

    How do I obtain my website statistics?
    Log into your control panel (www.yourdomain.com/cpanel). We offer 4 great statistics packages to give you a detailed view of your visitors.

    Do you provide shell/telnet support?
    Yes we provide Telnet(SSH) Access on all web hosting accounts.

    What domain names do you support?
    We support all domains, including foreign domains.

    What is SSH?
    SSH is similar to telnet, but it's more secure. It uses high level encryption and compression to make sure nobody can takeover or eavesdrop on your telnet session.

    Do you have Front-Page extensions?
    Front Page extensions can be installed for your account. They are not installed automatically during the initial setup. Send us a support request and they will be installed within 24 hours.

    How do I setup SSH/Telnet software?

    How do I update my credit card details?

    My site won't come up or is slow, what's wrong?
    Visit this page for more information on the cause and solutions to your problem.

    Why can't I create sub-domains?
    If you receive an error when creating sub-domains, open a ticket and request for sub-domains to be enabled.

    NOTE: If your domain is not pointing to our nameserver and is still in the progress of been transferred, you CANNOT create sub-domains. You will have to wait until your domain has fully propagated before you can create sub-domains.

    How do I upgrade my account?
    Almost any upgrade to your account can be made instantly by our support team. To upgrade your account, fill out our "Change Plan" form. You can find it here
