... how much Web space do I get to start with?
... Commercial customers get 100 megabytes to use for one business Web
site and beginning Web developers are given at least 400 megabytes of space to
use for themselves and / or for their customers.
Tip:
Most sites require only 3 to 6 megabytes of space
... is the space regulated?
... As per the User Agreement,
the space can not be used to promote racist agendas, any
other use which encourages criminal behavior. Other than that, mild or
wild, big or small... you can design and put up whatever you and / or
your customers desire.
... how do I send my files to my server space?
... You can send the files with any FTP program, if you
do not have one... you can download
one we recommend here, it is shareware
so you can try it for free. As with any shareware program, if you like
it, and continue to use it, you must pay the author's registration. You may
also upload files using a browser based control panel we provide you,
Macromedia's Contribute or Microsoft's FrontPage.
... can I send the files with Microsoft FrontPage?
... Host2Host
has installed all the software necessary to support
Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. It is a free feature of our hosting
plans, just e-mail us and we will add them for you or add them yourself with
the control panel. Using FrontPage, you
can drag-n-drop files from Explorer or My Computer to upload files. Many
of our customers are using FrontPage, some swear by it! FrontPage is
software created by Microsoft, you will need to purchase a copy to use
it to build your site.

where to purchase FrontPage.
... how will I know when I have used my allocated space?
... Host2Host
uses a disk management program which allows us to
monitor your usage, when you have used more space than you have
contracted for (your site or sites will still operate as usual)... we will
contact you to let you know that you need to arrange for additional Web
space.
... how many e-mail addresses can I have?
... Considering that most small business Web sites do not use more than
20 e-mail boxes, Host2Host
has moved the e-mail resource into the
unlimited category. As per the User
Agreement Host2Host
reserves the right to re-negotiate with
users that are using resources well over and above normal usage. i.e.
setting up more than 100 boxes...
... what is e-mail forwarding, how does it work?
... You probably already have an e-mail box through your ISP ....
configuring multiple e-mail identities on a single PC can be
complicated. At your request, we can configure your e-mail server to
immediately send (forward) any of your mail you desire to the e-mail box
at your ISP.
... can I use a real e-mail box on my server when checking my mail
instead of using the forwarding feature?
... Sure, we encourage it. It makes for a more professional appearance
if the mail you send to your clients comes from, say... billsmith@yoursite.com
instead of billys0467@hotmail.com. All we ask is that you fully download
the mail from the server versus leaving a copy on the server... this
helps us by reducing the time it takes to create backup copies of
e-mail servers.
... how much will my Host2Host
managed server space cost?
... A Host2Host
Web Developer package costs only $50 per month at the
starting package level, commercial Web sites requiring only one address start at only $25. All plans are a flat-rated fee and will not fluctuate
unless you specifically request additional services or your site is
using excessive transfer or staff services. See our Pricing
Information Page, it covers the other incidental costs
involved.
Special Offer: first
month free, 90 day money back guarantee and no setup fee (waived) if you
submit your ACW / ACH form prior to the 20th of
next month.
... if I were to ask for service today, how long will it take to get my
server up and running?
... We have your Web Developer or Commercial Website service up / on-line so
you can begin uploading files to your new server space within 48 hours (standard
work week, excluding weekends and holidays) or your first paid month
is free.
Domain name resolution can take 24 to 48 hours, depending on the time of day you register the name, which Domain registrar you
use (we suggest us) and how long DNS
propagation takes.
... will I have access to my log files?
... Yes, you will have on-line access to your log files through a Web browser.
... will my site be visible on the Internet? How will people find it?
... Yes and No... you will be able to tell people about your site, give
them the URL (business cards, letterheads, newspaper ads ....) and they
will be able to find it. Anyone who knows the site's name will be able
to find it, but it will not be visible to the search engines unless you
register it with each of them. Registering a URL with search engines can
be a daunting task. We suggest you register the site through Traffic
Blazer...
Once visitors have found
your site they may want to refer others to it... the best way is to
provide them with a simple method to do this. For a low one-time fee you
can add a "send this site to a friend" button just like the
one on the bottom of this page... click the banner below for more
information.

... this sounds great! How do I sign up?
... Visit our Check
List Page and follow the four step-by-step instructions. That's all
there is to it. If we need anything else or any additional information,
we will call or e-mail you. Detailed instructions for login and use will
follow, after your server space is configured.
... what happens if I want to cancel my account later?
... No problem, there is no term agreement when you sign with Host2Host, our agreement is a month to month "lease." If
you want out, you only need give one months notice and let us know the
date when you want the account closed. Your ultimate satisfaction is our
goal!
