This page describes Esosoft's Virtual
Hosting Service

Index:
I. Domain Name Service (DNS) Features
II. Description of the DNS Service Features
III. Prices
NOTE: All prices are in U.S. dollars.
We offer the following WWW Service features for only $7 a month!
(Each feature is described below):
And all this for only $7 a month!
The Web Address and space
You will have your own domain name. You can access your WebSite with the
following two URLs:
http://www.yourdomain.com
http://yourdomain.com
Note: You must verify that your domain name is available. A domain name
can be used only once on the whole Internet.
Therefore, please check our Domain
Name Lookup Form to see if your favorite domain name is available.
You have 7 MB of WebSpace.
If you need more, we charge $1 per month for each additional 1 MB.
FTP Account
Via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you can update your pages. This works
like Filemanager or Explorer. You can update the pages 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, and as often as you like.
E-mail Address
Esosoft's Domain Name Service features unlimited email aliasing. This means
that you can use whatever email address you want to use. For example you
could use:
All those emails will go into the same mailbox. Get your mail with the Internet Standard Services (SMTP for outgoing mail and POP for incoming). Eudora, Pegasus Mail, and MS Internet Mail and News are examples of such programs. We have no limits on the number of email aliases.
Autoresponder
An Autoresponder is a service which will return an automatic reply to the
sender of an e-mail. You can see this feature in action by sending an e-mail
to: autoinfo@crossthelilliebridge.com
Within a few minutes, you'll receive information about services at 'Cross
the Lilliebridge. This feature is very useful if you would like to issue
company information "on-demand", but can also be used to return
messages while you're on vacation.
E-Mail Forwarding Service
The e-mail forwarding service will allow you to forward all mail sent to
your domain name to another e-mail account. For instance, to your CompuServe,
AOL or MSN account, or to any valid e-mail address. The sender of the e-mail
is not aware that his/her mail will be forwarded.
CGI-Local Directory
A CGI-Local Directory is where all interactive programs are run. (Interactive
programs - such as Guestbooks, Rotating Ads, WWW Live Chat, Form-Mail, etc.)
You can use all of these and more on your pages. If you are familiar with
programming, you can even create and run your own interactive programs with
CGI Scripts.
Daily Web Server Usage Stats
If you want, you can get a daily report about the usage of your WebSite.
You'll see who visited your pages (including countries), in which pages
your visitors were interested, and many other things.
Transfer Limits
A "Transfer" occurs when someone visits your Webpage. The data,
including text and images, must be transferred to the browser of the visitor.
Many OTHER providers set transfer limits, and then charge the customer (you) extra if that limit is exceeded. We feel it is unfair to charge our customers for items that they cannot control or calculate.
Therefore, we have NO transfer limits. And as a customer of Esosoft, you will never see an extra charge for having "too many visitors".
(Which policy do you prefer, ours or *theirs* ?)
Commercial Use
Many of our customers use their Webpages for commercial purposes. You can
too! As one example, you could place banner-ads on your pages and charge
the advertiser for the advertising space and service. There are no limitations
as to the use of your WebSpace.
Setup Fee:
We charge a $30 one-time setup fee. This fee covers the changes we need to make to our name servers and also includes all the paperwork required for registering your domain name (with InterNIC).
Price:
The monthly price is $7 (no hidden costs or other fees - promise!).
Domain Name Fee:
Don't forget that InterNIC (the organization responsible for .com, .net, .org domains) charges $70 for maintenance of your domain name for the first two years. Afterwards they charge $35 per year. They will bill you separately.
