Mail
Features |
| Mailboxes |
You
can set up multiple email boxes on the domain hosted on your site
(name@yourdomian). |
| Mail
Aliases |
Point
an unlimited number of email addresses @yourdomain to people's mailboxes
on other services... for example, jim@yourdomain may have his mail
end up in his AOL.com account. |
| POP3 and IMAP access |
You can choose between
both of these ways of accessing mail. POP3 downloads the mail to your own computer. IMAP leaves the mail
on the server (ideal for traveling, or accessing your mail from work) |
| Web

Users
with mailboxes on your site can access their mail through a simple
yet powerful web email reading utility. |
| Secure

offer SSL access for web mail, POP3 and IMAP, so you can be sure
your passwords are safe from malicious people on the Internet. |
| Mailing
Lists |
Set up convenient
mailing lists so that you can reach groups of people by writing
to one simple email address.
(NOTE:
use of this feature to send unsolicited bulk email is grounds
for account cancellation. The bandwidth used for sending emails
will be charged against your total available web bandwidth
for each month. For anyone not engaging in unsolicited bulk email,
this will not be enough bandwidth usage to cause you any problems.) |
|
Database
Features |
| MySQL
Databases |
Set up database
tables for your web applications to use for storing data. For
example, a web bulletin board may use a database table to store
the messages in the bulletin board. Or a web-based calendar may
use a database to store the data in the calendar. |
|
FTP
Features |
| Virtual
FTP |
Set
up a separate FTP space for each domain in your account. |
| Anonymous
FTP |
Do you want
people to be able to upload files to you? Set up an anonymous
FTP server -- now anyone can upload files to your site that you
can grab later. This is also useful if you distribute your own
software or files and want people to be able to get to it.
(NOTE:
use of this feature to distribute copyrighted software for which
you do not own the copyright is prohibited by law. Not only will
doing this get your account turned off, it'll open you up to prosecution
by the copyright holder. So keep it legal, ok? The bandwidth used
for anonymous FTP transfers will be charged against your
total available web bandwidth for each month.) |
|
Domain
Name Features |
| Domain
Name Registration |
We will register
any domain name for you in the .com, .net or .org top-level domains.
More top-level domains are on their way! Each domain name cost
only $15/year, with a minimum of a one year registration. There
is no limit to how many domains you can have registered to your
account.
When you sign
up for an account you'll have the choice of:
- Registering
a new domain name through Speedy Puppy.
- Transferring
a domain name you already own that is registered to a different
registrar, such that Speedy Puppy is now the registrar (lets
you control that domain through your control panel)
- Telling
us you're going to manage your domain someplace else (for example,
register.com). If you do this, you can't manage your domain
through your Speedy Puppy control panel, and you'll have to
point your domain to your new Speedy Puppy account using your
existing registrar's methods.
|
| DNS
Service |
Speedy
Puppy has domain name servers ready to handle your domain name.
Any domain that is registered through Speedy Puppy (whether a new
registration or a transfer) can use our DNS servers to control the
domain. |
| DNS
Control Panel |
Our
easy-to-use control panel has a section for controlling your domain
names. Here you can set up what domain names you have, what sub-domains
you want... you can even set up completely different web sites for
different subdomains all within the same Speedy Puppy account (ie:
www1.yourdomian.com, www2.yourdomain.com). (that is -- if you want
to get fancy). |
