premier (host-ing p'lan)
	adj. First in power, speed and price.

The premier hosting plan includes all the features below at £10 per month or £100 per year.   

Free Domain Name
You are supplied with a free .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .ltd.uk, .org.uk or .plc.uk domain name of the form, for example, yourdomain.com. You own the domain name but you do not have to pay any setup fees, registration fees or ongoing internic fees while you host with us, and are free to move it at anytime. Or if you own an existing .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .ltd.uk, .org.uk or .plc.uk domain name, and wish to transfer it to our hosting plan, then this is completely free of charge as well. Any other kind of domain purchase or transfer is subject to quotation. Any number of additional domain names may be purchased and aliased to the same website. See the plan extras below for full information.

Unlimited Sub-domains
You are supplied with unlimited sub-domains. A sub-domain allows you to map a sub-directory of your website to a domain name in its own right. For example, you may have a subdirectory called products which contains a default.htm page and other pages. The website address of this subdirectory is yourdomain.com/products, but by mapping a sub-domain, it becomes products.yourdomain.com.

250MB Webspace
You are supplied with 250MB webspace. As a rough guide, 250MB can easily provide you with over 5,000 pages containing some graphical content. More space may be purchased if required, see the plan extras below.

Unlimited POP3 Mailboxes
You are supplied with unlimited POP3 mailboxes, allowing you to set up email addresses of the form anyname@yourdomain.com or anyname@yourdomain.co.uk. You can download your email using any email client such as Microsoft Outlook Express.

Unlimited Email Aliases
You are supplied with unlimited email aliases. Having set up a POP3 mailbox you may then set up one or more aliases that redirect email to the POP3 mailbox. So for example, if your POP3 mailbox is fred@yourdomain.com, you may also set up sales@yourdomain.com, webmaster@yourdomain.com, etc. such that all email sent to these addresses actually gets sent to fred.

Unlimited Email Forwarders
You are supplied with unlimited email forwarders. In a similar manner to email aliases, you may set up a forwarder to forward email to any other mailbox either in your domain or any other email account you may have. So for example, you may set up sales@yourdomain.com which actually forwards email to fred@yourdomain.com and to your hotmail account fred@hotmail.com.

Unlimited Auto Responders
You are supplied with unlimited auto responders. You may set up an auto responder on any POP3 mailbox. An auto responder is an email message of your definition that is automatically sent to the sender when their email hits your mailbox. In other words you can set up confirmations of emails received, with a message such as "we have received your email and one of our staff will be contacting you shortly".

24/7 FTP Access
You have 24 hours per day, 7 days per week FTP access to your website, so that you can upload the files required for your website at any time day or night.

Control Panel
You have full control of your domain through our on-line control panel. With this tool you may add, edit or delete sub-domains, POP3 mailboxes, email aliases, email forwarders, auto responders and your ODBC connections.

ASP Support
Microsoft ASP is available. It is a powerful server side scripting language for creating dynamic content and for connecting to ODBC databases.

PHP Support
PHP scripting is available.

Unlimited ODBC Connections
You are supplied with unlimited ODBC data connections. By using an ODBC data connection (or DSN), you can connect your website to a database to provide dynamic data-driven web content. The types of database supported are Access, dBase and Excel. You may, for example, hold information about products you manufacture in a database which can then be used to provide searchable product listings on your website.

CGI/Perl Support
Your domain allows full and unrestricted use of CGI scripts. A Perl 5.0 interpreter is installed on the server.

SSI
Server Side Includes is available. SSI allows you to insert one or more web pages into another. You may, for example, author a web page containing some standard HTML for your website. By including this page in all other pages you maintain a consistent look and feel across your website.

CDO/CDONTS
CDONTS NewMail is available, it is an email scripting component. You may, for example, use ASP and CDONTS NewMail to author a web form that collects information from the user and then emails it automatically to one or more of your POP3 mailboxes.

Webmail
Webmail is available, it allows you to view any of your POP3 mailboxes online. Not only that, but you can reply, write new mail, configure mail folders and more using your web browser.

Frontpage 2002
Your domain is hosted on a Frontpage 2002 enabled server. Frontpage 2002 extensions allow you to take advantage of Microsoft's built-in extensions and publishing wizard.

Site Stats
Site Stats provides for sophisticated reporting of all traffic through your website. The scope and variation of reporting is very large. For example, you can monitor current visitors to your website, number of hits during the last week, most popular pages visited on your website, number of referrals from specific search engines, country or state the user is browsing from, type of browser being used, etc.

SSL Security
SSL or Secure Sockets Layer encrypts all data transfer between the web server and the user's browser. This secure form of communication allows you to protect the user's information so you can take credit card orders, ensure that hackers cannot detect passwords, etc. We implement a shared SSL server complete with Equifax certification for your use.

All this for only £10 per month or £100 per year.    

The following extras may be purchased for the premier hosting plan.

Additional Domain Names
You may alias as many domain names to the same website as you wish. Each additional domain name is subject to an annual charge as follows (note that in all cases we take care of all the ongoing internic fees).
    - purchase a new .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .ltd.uk, .org.uk or .plc.uk domain name with us at £20 per year per domain.
    - transfer an existing .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .ltd.uk, .org.uk or .plc.uk domain name to us at £20 per year per domain.
    - any other type of domain purchase or transfer, for example .cc, .ms, .to, .ws, is subject to quotation.

Additional 250MB Webspace
You may purchase as many increments of 250MB as you require. For example, if you are implementing an on-line archive facility, you may find that the steady growth of files on your website requires you to purchase additional space over extended time periods. £20 per year per 250MB.
