This plan has proved one of the most popular for our customers because of its superb value!
What do I get?
Server
200Mb of Storage Space
That's a lot of space for all your e-mail, with plenty left for a website as well!
PHP5
That's right, the very latest stable version of PHP - the world leader in dynamic page creation. Create original, fast moving data driven sites in this premium language.
5000Mb transfer (5 Gigabytes!)
Every time someone looks at your web pages, or you receive e-mail, a certain amount of ‘bandwidth’ is used. We provide 5 gigabytes of bandwidth for you - more than enough for most people. You can always check on you bandwidth by looking at the statistics pages which show where it all goes.
CGI Bin access
Many hosts do not allow you to use the CGI Bin which is the special facility that enables you to run scripts. If they do, the facility is often shared with others.
On this plan, you get you own CGI bin, for your exclusive use.
Spam and Virus Protection
Professional, server located spam and virus protection stops potential problems before they get to you. Common threats are filtered out and dangerous files such as programs are prohibited. Spam is reduced significantly with the world leader ‘Spam Assassin’. You’re in control and can set the levels for triggering spam violations, or turn the feature of altogether.
Note: It is recommended that you still install your own anti-virus software on your computer.
Site Statistics and Logs
We give you the choice of three (yes three!) separate programs that you can use to see how your site is working. These are Analog, AwStats and Webalizer. You get to see which are the most popular pages, statistics about how many people have visited them and at what date and time and a whole host of other useful stuff. All of this is presented in easy to understand tables and charts.
E-mail
3 Individual Pop3 E-mail Accounts
That's right! You get 2 individual, separate e-mail accounts so you can have a personal e-mail address and another for your partner. In addition to that, there is a third default address that can also be used.
Not only do your users all have individual mailboxes, they can get to them while they are away using our great WebMail service (see below) which is included free!
Webmail (get your mail while away!)
You can use the WebMail to access one of the two web mail programs included in your hosting plan with Soho. These programs will allow you to read your email through a browser window without having to make any changes to the computer you are on or leave any email on the computer you are on. This is a great way of staying in touch when you are away on business as you can see and send e-mails from almost any machine connected to the internet anywhere in the world. It’s not bad on holiday either!
Unlimited Email Forwarding
You can use email forwarders to send all email messages that are sent to an account to another account. If you have multiple email accounts, you can use forwarders to send all your mail to one place so you do not have to login to multiple email accounts to check your mail.
Box Trapper
The BoxTrapper allows you to activate email verification for those not on your white list (a list of accepted e-mail addresses) This means that any mail address that is not placed on your white list will be required to send back a verification email to ensure that they are not a spammer. This function can be quite useful in preventing automatic mailings that you do not wish to receive from reaching your inbox.
E-Mail address trace
It can be helpful to know exactly where email is coming from. To see the path of an email from its server to your mail server, you will need to trace its address. This can give you information about mail problems and whether or not they are problems with your mail server.
Scripts and Programs
Soho doesn’t just provide a great server and e-mail facility for your business. We know that you may want to get more out of your investment by making your own website. As a service to our clients, we provide a library of ready to run scripts that can be used in your website.
These scripts are already installed and need little to tweak them to your personal look and feel.
Remember, you can also upload your own scripts and programs as well!
Parking Plus Plan Scripts
Simple CGI Wrapper:
CGI Wrapper enables .cgi scripts to run with your username (instead of username 'nobody', group 'nobody'). This feature allows you to run CGI scripts from your /scgi-bin/ directory using your uid (user) to run the script. This means that you, or your web pages can run cgi scripts if they are placed in the /scgi-bin/ directory.
Random HTML:
This is a random html generator. It picks a html string out of a list and inserts it in an SSI enabled web page. In Random HTML, you can add many lines of HTML code that will be randomly selected by the Random HTML script to display on a page of your web site. For example, you can place many different facts in a file, and the Random HTML script will display a random fact every time the web page is accessed. This can be useful for daily hints, trivia, or other random information you wish visitors of your site to see.
Counter:
You can create a counter to count how many visitors have been to your page.
Clock:
This utility will create a real time java clock for your site.
Countdown:
You can create a countdown box to countdown to a specified date.
Entropy Search:
This preinstalled script enables a nice, quick search engine that can help your visitors find information that they are interested in more easily. The larger the site, the more important the search engine becomes. Simply copy the snippet of code we provide in your cPanel into your html page(s), upload the html file, then use the Rebuild Index function to make your site searchable!
Entropy Banner:
The Entropy Banner script allows you to create a set of revolving banner images, normally used for advertising. You can upload and delete files, set priority on the images, and set URLs to which each image points.
