WebMail unburdens you and your users from your PC and allows you to check your email from any computer with just a browser and an Internet connection! All the email users under your domain name will be able to send, receive, delete, and compose email with this user-friendly, web-based program - only available from freehost.nz!

FTP Access
If you choose to create your website using HTML or web site creation software such as PageMill, or Dreamweaver, we offer FTP access with all account packages. To upload your files, you will need a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program.

Email Addresses
Our email addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as imap which store mail, email aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as autoresponders. You have unlimited email forwarding.

Disk Space (MB)
One MB of disk space can hold several web pages or images. Most sites use between 5 and 50MB of disk space depending on what you offer. Our Plans offer 100MB with additional 100MB blocks available. Enough to expand without the worry of running out of room.

Data Transfer
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain. Most sites have less than 500MB of traffic per month.

SubDomains
Subdomains or third level names (you.domain.com), are available with all our accounts

File Manager
The File Manager is a very powerful feature. It allows you to manipulate all the files in your web site. You are able to create, delete, and move your files. You can also upload files from your local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, 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.

FTP
FTP is used to upload and download files. Almost all site design programs like Adobe Pagemill, Macromedia Dreamweaver, GoLive HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to maintain your site.

Detailed Web Statistics
detailed analysis of your web site's visitors.

Access to raw logs
If you prefer to use your own statistic analysis program, access to your raw logs is very important.

Password Protected Pages
You can use the control panel to specify which users are allowed to access certain pages on your site. When visitors click on a certain URL, they are requested to enter a username and password which you manage through the control panel.

Run Perl scripts
We use Perl extensively and encourage development of highly interactive, successful sites. For your site to be truly interactive you need to be able to run computer programs in your own webroot, standard with all packages.

Perl, C, SH, Java, Python
We have enjoyed being the clear choice for computer programmers building web sites. For this reason, we always give programmers the most recent versions of the hottest programs needed to build their web applications.

PHP 8.0
PHP is compiled as a module with MySQL, gdbm, and gd support.

SSL Server / Secure Certificates
In order to perform secure transactions on the web using https://yourdomain.com you need a hosting company that will support ssl. We use Apache-SSL on all of our servers. In order for SSL to function for your domain, you must acquire a secure certificate which we can provide for free.

MySQL database support
MySQL is our GNU database of choice. We encourage all MS Access, mSQL and postgresQL users to migrate to MySQL.

gdbm support
gdbm is a simple light standard Unix database which we support.

Email Support
If you need personal attention from a trained programmer, email support is available. We encourage all users to consult the online manual as a primary means of support through the control panel.

Daily Backup
Your account is backed up daily to assure your data is restored quickly to cover any adverse event.

24/7 Monitoring
Your server is monitored internally and externally on all the standard ports. If the monitor cannot restart a failed port, a technician is notified and attends to the problem immediately.

Processor Type
We always use the latest Intel processors in every machine. We keep up with the latest technology to enable us to make decisions that will best suit our Clients needs.

Standby Server
A hallmark of our service and one of the reasons for our fantastic uptime is our policy of having servers on standby. In the event of a server failure, there are always additional servers on standby. We swap the drive of the failed server to a new one, and do the diagnosis on the failed machine later.
