| Your
Own Domain Hosting |
Once
you register your domain you can go live by getting your
website hosted By Lypha™ (www.yourdomain.com) |
 |
| Disk
Storage Space |
Disk
storage space refers to the amount of server disk storage
specifically allocated to your shared hosting account.
This space can be used to store your html files, graphics,
audio clips, POP3 mail messages, pdfs, and other files
that make up your web site. At Lypha™ we make sure
you'll be satisfied because each shared plan includes
a very generous amount of disk space which is substantially
more than what our competition provides. |
|
| Monthly
Data Transfer |
Monthly
data transfer is the amount of information that is transmitted
to/from your Web space. At Lypha™ we provide a generous
amount of bandwidth with all plans. You can login to your
account and view your monthly transfer in your control
panel. Each time a picture or HTML page is viewed by a
visitor, you upload data using FTP, or email is received
it adds to your monthly data transfer. The average HIT
is approximately 10k. This would mean that a transfer
limit of 4.0 Gigabytes would allow 400,000 hits for your
account.
*A note on Unlimited Transfer offerings* A question
that comes up often is, “Why doesn't Lypha™
offer unlimited bandwidth?” The answer is simple.
The numerous web hosting providers who exaggerate and
offer unlimited bandwidth are actually lying and not telling
you the truth. Always read the fine print! If you read
the fine print, "Unlimited bandwidth means you may
not use more then 10% of our resources". This usually
means they cut you off at 50 megabytes per day. At Lypha™
we will not cut you off due to extra usage. |
|
| Unmetered
Hits |
We
do not meter hits to your site. We will not track or restrict
the number of visitors accessing your website or the number
of pages that are viewed. |
|
| OS
Platform |
Lypha™
servers are stable. Our systems are Linux-based which
is an operating system known worldwide for its stability
and scalability. Our systems are secure. Being the most
used hosting platform on the Internet today, it suits
the growing needs of both beginner and advanced web hosts.

|
POP3
/ IMAP
E-mail Accounts |
Users
don't have to strictly rely on email forwarding. Users
have the ability to setup POP3/IMAP accounts. Clients
can retrieve their email directly from their POP3 &
IMAP mailboxes on the mail server using email programs
such as Eudora, Microsoft Outlook or web based email.
When setting up a POP account you'll be making an emailsomething@yourdomain.com
. Your POP3 / IMAP accounts may be managed in an easy
fashion via your control panel. |
|
| Email
Auto Responders |
Auto
responders are a very useful tool for distributing information
to interested prospects. An Auto responder is just what
it sounds like. An auto responder is simply a program
which instantly sends a pre-written message back to a
person who sends an e-mail to a specified address. (take
vacations and have your auto responder on to let people
know when you'll be back online answering emails). For
instance, if a customer were to send an email order to
orders@yourdomain.com, you could arrange for a Thank You
email to be automatically sent to them. You may setup
email auto responders with ease. |
|
|
Email Forwarders |
E-mail
forwarders are accounts which simply forward e-mail to
another Email address that you specified when setting
it up. E-mail sent to separate POP3 mail accounts end
up in a single location. Email Forwarders can easily be
removed/added via our control panel. (ex: admin@yourdomain.com
being forwarded to yourname@yourdomain.com) |
|
|
Email Alias |
An
email alias is basically another name for a specific email
account. It allows you to create alternative email addresses
without creating a user account. What an alias does is
to point to a specific email address. For example, you
can have an alias called "help" and forward
it to maindesk@yourdomain.com. However, you won't be able
to send emails from an alias, because it is not a real
email account. |
|
| Web-based
Email Access (Webmail) |
In
addition to your POP3 email accounts, you also have web
based mail that allows you to access your email accounts
from any browser, anywhere in the world. This is a nice
feature for someone who travels or needs access to email
at different locations. Take your notebook with you on
an air flight and be able to take a sip of coffee while
checking your mail via web mail. We include 3 webmail
tools for checking your mail when on the move. They are:
Neomail,
Horde IMP
and SquirrelMail. |
|
| Email
Manager/Mail Management Tools |
We
give you the most powerful tools to manage your email
activities. Our control panel is feature rich and lets
you do everything from creating POP accounts to managing
huge mailing lists. The control panel is pretty straightforward
and everything mentioned is easy to setup.
Using our mail management tools you can:
- Manage POP e-mail boxes
- Manage E-mail aliases (forwarders)
- Manage Auto-responders
- Change your default mail address
- Create SPAM filters
- Manage mailing lists.
|
|
|
Sub-domains |
Sub-domains
allow for the use of URLs like subdomain.yourdomain.com.
This feature is useful if you want to divide up your site
into different sections. The document root for your sub-domain
will be the subdirectory that has the same name as your
sub-domain prefix. For example: http://example.yourdomain.com
is the same as http://yourdomain.com/example/. You can
easily add/remove sub-domains from the control panel.
|
|
Domain Pointers
(URL Forwarding) |
This
is a domain name that redirects a visitor to another Web
location of your choice, allowing you to have multiple
domain names for one site, such as www.yourdomain.com
and www.yourdomain.net. |
|
| Unlimited
FTP Access |
FTP
stands for File Transfer Protocol and is the most widely
used method for transferring files from client to server.
All of hosting packages include unlimited access to your
account via FTP 24 hours a day. You can update your site
24/7 365 days a year! Talk about flexibility! We give
you full control! |
|
| Anonymous
FTP Server |
Anonymous
FTP allows clients to take advantage of the FTP protocol
for visitors to their website needing to download large
files without a login or password for each visitor. Anonymous
FTP can be installed and uninstalled automatically. Clients
login to your anonymous FTP site by FTPing to ftp.yourdomain.com.
The login "anonymous" or "ftp" will
work, and any password is accepted. Once they have logged
in anonymously, they will automatically view the welcome
message which you can customize. Users can then download
any files which you have made available for them to obtain
anonymously. Always make sure your data is not in a public
directory where anonymous users may download them! |
|
| Interchange
Shopping Cart |
Having
a shopping cart program allows you to implement your own
ecommerce Store. The shopping cart keeps track of what
visitors have ordered and allows them to add or remove
items from a ''virtual shopping cart.'' When a visitor
decides to check-out, the order information including
the buyer's name, address and billing is e-mailed to an
address you specify and a receipt is sent to the shopper.
All accounts come bundled with RedHat's high-end and powerful
Interchange shopping cart, an electronic commerce system
that's in use by tens of thousands of merchants and web
developer's world wide. In a CNET builder review, Interchange
is the most recommended shopping cart system for small
to medium size businesses. The shopping cart is provided
free of charge.

| SSL
Server (SSL) |
Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol which encrypts all data
communicated between client/server to ensure there can
be no intercepts of the data by third parties and ensures
that communication is between the intended party. Encryption
is very important when taking credit card numbers, or
posting personal or confidential information over the
Internet. Although it's way more likely for someone to
steal your credit card number when you order over the
telephone, we still offer you full, unlimited access to
our secure server. By using our server's certificate,
you save hundreds of dollars! We also offer the option
to install your own personalized SSL Certificate. Find
out more about SSL. |
|
| Own
CGI-Bin Access |
All
customers have access to a personal cgi-local directory
in which you can place your own custom CGI scripts. CGI
scripts are most often used to accomplish tasks not supported
by basic HTML, such as a "hit" counter or guest
book. This directory can be used to set up scripts that
you write or find elsewhere on the Web. |
|
| The
File Manager |
Your
File Manager is a very powerful feature. It allows you
to manipulate all the files in your web site. You have
the ability to create, delete, and move your files. You
can also upload files from your local PC to the server
in File Manager. In addition, you can edit the HTML in
any of your files from this option. Everything you need
to manage your site can be found in this feature. |
|
| FrontPage
Extensions |
We
can install Front Page extensions on your account free
of charge. This allows you to use the easy-to-use Microsoft
FrontPage program to create and maintain your web site.
The FrontPage extensions are fully backward compatible
with FrontPage 2003/2000, 97 & 98 incase you're not
yet using the latest version. You may request that FrontPage
extensions be installed on your web site when placing
an order for our hosting services. |

a website owner you may have many questions. How many
visitors have I had? Where are they coming from? In your
