So
how much does it REALLY cost?
If you go
with our bronze account, you will pay only $25.00 per month! Unlike the
majority of web hosting companies we DO NOT CHARGE FOR SETUP. Check out
our competition's 50-100 MB accounts. They can charge up to $475.00/month
with the features that we provide for FREE like SSL Secure Server access,
unlimited data transfer, Power PlusMail™ mailing
system, CGI-bin, FTP, UNIX Shell/Telnet access, Traffic Stat software installed,
FrontPage 98 extensions, HTMLscript equipped, advanced shopping cart, counters
and more. SAME DAY SETUP during business days is also available. We will
also file your domain name with Internic at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Internic will
bill you $70.00 in thirty days.
.
Do
I have to register my domain name with Internic?
We register
your domain (www.yourname.com) for you! Unlike other web hosting companies,
we DO NOT charge you to file your domain name. Internic
is currently the organization that registers domain names. They will bill
you in the amount of $70.00 which is good for the first two years. After
two years, they will bill you $35.00 for each additional year. You are
responsible for the $70.00 registration fee, due to Internic in 30 days.
.
How
much disk space do I get for my web pages and graphics?
50 MB! Yes,
that's right! It might seem a little odd that we're giving away 50 MB with
each bronze account, but it's true. Your account can hold over 3,750 pages
with plenty of more room for graphics, sounds, scripts, and other files!
.
What
are FrontPage extensions and do you support them?
If you use
Microsoft
FrontPage 98 to publish pages to the Net, you will need FrontPage 98
extensions supported. We support FrontPage 98 extensions FREE OF CHARGE.
.
Can
I depend on fast speeds when others access my site?
YES! We employ
dozens of Dual Processor Intel Pentium II 450MHz servers with each system
running on the highly acclaimed Apache Web Server software solution. We
are also currently running dual dedicated T3 connections to the GTE/NapNet
Internet backbone! And unlike other providers that use their bandwidth
for dial-up accounts, ISDN, and frame relay, we focus ALL bandwidth to
our web hosters!
.
Do
you offer secure server space for transferring credit cards?
YES! Our servers
are equipped with the latest SSL technology so your customers can safely
order your products or services online! Normally, any text sent from your
browser is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially
intercept the information sent from your browser and read it. However,
by using the secure server (SSL), the information is encrypted before it
is sent. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without
knowing the key. You DO NOT have to buy a security certificate to enable
the secure server - you can use ours FREE of charge. You will be given
a directory under the domain name safe-order.net!
.
What
is a "parked" domain name and how much does it cost?
Parked domains
are aliases of other domains. For example, say we have mary.com parked
to your main account at steve.com. This would mean that anyone who goes
to mary.com would automatically go to steve.com. There is no actual hosting
involved with mary.com. Mary.com merely acts as a nickname to steve.com.
Parked domains are available as an option and can be setup for only a one-time
$45 fee.
.
Can
I upload pages frequently?
Each account
comes with one FTP/Telnet account. You have full access to your space via
FTP 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you can update your site at your leisure.
.
How
much data transfer do you allow for my web site?
Every account
can qualify for our Unlimited Hits and Data Traffic program! If you do
not qualify, your web site will go unmonitored until it reach 8000MB (8gigs)
per month. Go ahead and compare with other providers. Whether you qualify
for our Unlimited Hits and Data Traffic program or not, our traffic allowance
surpasses the industry standard.
.
What
is a CGI-bin and do I get one?
A CGI-bin
is where you would store CGI scripts. These "scripts" are used to generate
online order forms, guestbooks, shopping carts, counters, and more! YES,
every account comes with a local CGI-bin with FREE pre-installed scripts!
.
What
CGI scripts come already installed?
Each account
comes with almost a dozen automatically configured and installed cgi-scripts!
This will save you many hours of time creating, implementing, and debugging
scripts. Currently, these are the CGI scripts installed with every domain
hosting account:
FormMail - allows
the information of a web form to be sent through email
WWW Bulletin Board
- a unique discussion forum for posting topics
Free For All links
page - automatically adds links to a web page
Site counters
- One simple and one complex full hit counter that also shows daily
stats
GuestBook - allows
for visitors to log comments and feedback on your site
Cgi-email - fully
configurable script that send contents of a page through email
Random Text Display
- allows a rotation of simple phrases or quotes
Site Search -
whole site search engine
Virtual Publisher
Shopping Cart - sophisticated customized shopping cart system
And More! - New

What
is the Power PlusMail™ System?
The Power
PlusMail™ system is installed with every domain account and is simply the
most powerful emailing system used to configure email aliases, autoresponders,
mailing lists, and list servers. Click here to
learn more about this advanced system!
.
What
are autoresponders/infobots and how many do I get?
You can set
up autoresponders to automatically respond to incoming email. For example,
if you had an order form which your customers email to you, you can set
up an autoresponder to email the customer a confirmation message. They're
also known as Infobots. There are many other uses for autoresponders/infobots,
such as giving information to people who don't have access to the Internet
but still have an email account such as Juno.
An unlimited amount of autoresponders can be created with each web hosting
account! There is no limit to the number of autoresponders you can have.
Click
here for instructions on how to set up autoresponders/infobots.
.
What
are email aliases and how many can I use?
Email aliases
are email addresses that you make up. Any mail sent to these "aliases"
would automatically be forwarded to your existing POP email account or
redirected to another third party POP account. With our advanced Power
PlusMail™ system, you can have unlimited email aliases that point to
your default address and create up to 500 email redirects with each web
hosting account. Click here for instructions on
how to set up email aliases.
.
What
about the Traffic Statistical Software?
Traffic analysis
software comes pre-installed with every web hosting account! We have just
installed the new Wusage 6.0.
It includes a top 100 list of the most accessed pages, 3D bar graphs, and
extensive log reports! If you already have an account with us, you can
access your weekly stats by typing http://yourdomain.com/wusage.
.
What
about Technical Support?
We provide
a complete Online Support Manual
to help you with all aspects of your web hosting account. And if that's
not enough you can email us at support@neonnetworks.com
and we will respond within 24 hours. For emergency purposes only
(i.e. if your site is down and don't have access to email), you may dial
our voice number below and talk to a representative.
.
Can
I sign up for sub-domain accounts (subdomain.neonnetworks.com)?
Yes! Sub-domain
accounts have the same exact features as standard accounts and will be
billed at the same monthly rate. The only difference between sub-domain
accounts and regular www.yourdomain.com accounts is that no InterNIC fees
apply! If you already have a domain name hosted with us, you can apply
for subdomain.yourdomain.com.
.
How
do I sign up for a New Web Hosting Account?
You can order
by calling our web hosting department at (703) 765-6568 and a representative
will be happy to assist you in activating your account.Back
