Virtual Server Flexibility Comparison
Because the Internet is so dynamic, the need for a flexible hosting
solution cannot be underestimated. iServer gives you complete control
over your Virtual Server, giving you the power to customize your
Virtual Server to meet your preferences and needs. This flexibility
is primarily rooted in three areas:
Server Configuration
iServer gives you complete control over all of your Virtual Server
services - HTTP (Web), FTP, POP, IMAP, and SMTP (e-mail). Because
these service operate in a "virtual environment" independent of any
other account, you have full power to customize your Virtual Server
to meet your preferences and needs.
For example, your Virtual Servers includes an entire
HTTPd directory tree
with your own cgi-bin, configuration files (http.conf, srm.conf, etc),
and log files (access, error, and referrer logs). This gives you the
ability to customize and configure your Virtual Server's web service
to meet your specific needs (and meet them immediately) since you have
complete control. Similar flexibility is afforded for the other
virtual services, FTP,
POP,
IMAP, and
SMTP.
Server Access
iServer gives you the flexibility to access your Virtual Server through
a variety of means including anonymous and non-anonymous FTP, telnet,
secure shell (ssh), Windows 95 Fileshare, or iManager. While most other
hosting companies only allow you FTP access, iServer provides you with the
best access flexibility in the business. The Internet was developed to
provide diverse means of access... why should accessing your web site
content be any different? Don't limit yourself by choosing a provider
which doesn't offer access flexibility.
Subhosting Capability
There are two fundamental types of web solutions: Virtual Hosting and
Virtual Servers (find
out more about the difference). When comparing hosting solutions
you should consider the fact that Virtual Hosting is only one feature
of the iServer Virtual Server System. In other words, iServer provides
you the flexibility to partition your Virtual Server into "virtual
hosts" each mapped to a unique domain name. These virtual hosts have
the same functionality that most other Hosting Providers offer as their
base product!
iServer offers this functionality to you for no monthly charge as
a tool that you can use to get your "foot in the door" with prospective
clients. You can sell your clients a virtual host for $10 or $20 a
month and soon upgrade them to their own Virtual Server.
