system. This database is easy to use.
Access stores an entire database application within a single file. An Access .mdb
file can contain data objects, like tables, indexes and queries, as well as application
objects like forms, reports, macros, and visual basic code. Access is a very powerful

| mySQL Database. |
|
MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database, is developed
and provided by MySQL AB. The MySQL web site (http://www.mysql.com)
provides the latest information about MySQL software and MySQL
AB.
MySQL is a database management system.
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything
from a simple shopping list or a picture gallery or the vast
amounts of information in a corporate network. To add, access,
and process data stored in a computer database, you need a
database management system such as MySQL Server. Since computers
are very good at handling large amounts of data, database
management plays a central role in computing, as stand-alone
utilities, or as parts of other applications.
MySQL is a relational database management system.
A relational database stores data in separate tables rather
than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds
speed and flexibility. The tables are linked by defined relations
making it possible to combine data from several tables on
request. The SQL part of "MySQL" stands for "Structured
Query Language" the most common standardised language
used to access databases.

| ASP
and ASP.NET support (including free components). |
|
ASP and ASP.NET is currently the most popular and most powerful
tool for creating feature rich, interactive, database driven
websites. We offer the ideal environment for you to develop
your ASP skills and your website. We currently offer the following
ASP components for you to use freely. ASP COM Object Code
Samples can be found here
Jmail : Jmail is the most popular and the fast way
to send emails from your ASP enabled website. We are currently
running the latest version (ver.4.1). More information can
be found at http://tech.dimac.net
ASPEmail : AspEmail is an active server component that
enables your ASP application to send email messages via any
external SMTP server. The component supports multiple file
attachments, multiple recipients, CCs, BCCs, and REPLY-TOs.
More information can be found at http://www.aspemail.com
ASPUpload : This is an Active Server component which
enables an ASP application to accept, save and manipulate
files uploaded with a browser. The files are uploaded via
an HTML POST form. More information can be found at http://www.aspupload.com
DevMailer : DevMailer is a COM (Component Object Model)
object designed to send Email via SMTP from any COM / OLE
/ ActiveX enabled application. More information can be found
at http://www.geocel.com/devmailer
ASPTear : What about a simple component for "tearing"
web pages from a server? AspTear allows you to retrieve web
pages from servers easily with a bunch of features. More information
can be found at http://www.alphasierrapapa.com/IisDev/Components/AspTear
Here's a list of the component's main features:
- Supports GET and POST
- Send query strings and POST data to the server
- Access HTTP and HTTPS resources
- Log in to secured sites with username/password
MD5 DLL : The message digest algorithm was developed
by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT. 'The MD5 algorithm is
intended for digital signature applications, where a large
file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being
encrypted with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem
such as RSA.' MD5 is a hash, i.e it is not reversible without
a lot of effort.
RC4 DLL : RC4 is a variable key-size cipher (the text
can be decrypted if you have the key). It was designed by
Rivest for RSA. This is an implementation of how the cipher
is believed to work, and not the actual encryption software,
which is available from RSA.
RSA DLL : The RSA algorithm was invented in 1978 by
Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. It is a public
and private key cipher. The component includes an example
of a public and private key, a component for creating these
keys is included in the download.
Please note: We only install additional components
at our own discretion, this is for security and stability
reasons.

| Perl, PHP, and CGI Scripting. |
|
Perl and PHP are programming languages that are commonly
used as server side scripting languages. You can run scripts
written in these languages from your web pages, and they will
be executed each time the page is accessed. This allows you
to create dynamic and interactive Web pages.
Perl is a general purpose programming language that is fast
and flexible. It is an excellent language for performing text
processing, and is a popular choice for CGI programming. For
more information on Perl, see Perl.com
and Perl.org.
PHP is another popular OpenSource web scripting language
and is used on some pages of this web site. PHP stands for
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. To learn more about PHP, visit
PHP.net.
CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. It is the standard
programming interface between web servers and external programs.
Basically, CGI allows your Web pages to run programs written
in any language your server supports. Some Web servers require
CGI programs to be stored in a directory on your server named
cgi-bin.

| 5 FTP accounts
to access your site 24/7. |
|
You will be issued 5 FTP accounts so that you can upload
the files for your website 24/7. In order to use FTP you will
need an FTP client. This is a program that uses FTP to upload
your files for you. WSFTP, Terrapin and CuteFTP are commonly
used FTP clients. WSFTP is recommended by the Active Server
Support Team. When your domain becomes active on our servers
you can use ftp.yourdomain.com but until then you can still
login and upload using the ip address provided to you when
your account was activated.
