Get a free 1 year .com .biz .net .info or .org domain name with all our annual hosting plans.

This is the ability to host more than 1 domain on a single hosting plan. Every domain will have a different folder within the hosting space so you can host a different website on each available supported domain with your single hosting plan.

A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain (root domain) which can be used to hold additional / alternative web content and develop website areas for different brands. For example, your domain “games.com” could have the subdomains "play.games.com" or "sports.games.com" and so on.

Get a choice of POP3 or IMAP Email Accounts with your Hosting Plan. POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is a client/server protocol in which email is received and held for you by our Mail server. Periodically, you (or your client email receiver) check your mailbox on the server and download any email using POP3. Each POP3 email account can have its own independent inbox with personalized email addresses. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a service that allows email messages stored on a remote server to be managed in much the same way as if they were stored on the user's local machine. Unlike POP3, which only allows access to a single inbox, IMAP allows the creation of additional folders, between which messages can be distributed for archiving.

Our unique WebMail service allows you to manage your email through a web browser from almost any computer around the world, as long as it has an Internet connection.

SQL Server 2005 included native support for managing XML data, in addition to relational data. For this purpose, it defined an xml data type that could be used either as a data type in database columns or as literals in queries.
