Just some of the many features we provide defined!

Control Panel

The Control Panel (CP) is your personal link to many of the administrative tasks required to upkeep your web site and email. Via the CP you will enjoy a pleasantly presented and quick loading interface that will enable you to easily add, remove, and edit services such as email, mailing lists, web pages, and more!

Redundant Connectivity

Hosting365's Data Center is equipped with its own full clear channel links from Netsource, Global Crossing, Colt, Packetexchange, Level3, MFN/Abovenet and INEX. Hosting365's speedy and highly redundant connectivity is enhanced by its numerous carrier class routers which are all configured with BGP4 and full global IP routing views.

Simply put, the Hosting365 servers reside on a highly secured, heavily monitored, network that is really really fast and has plenty of capacity to deliver your web site(s)!

Direct FTP Access

Every full package on the Hosting365 servers has access to their web site 24 hours a day every day! Using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you will be able to add and edit files on your web site at any time that is convenient for you, and the changes occur instantly! Also provided is WebShell, a web browser interface for uploading files, handy for maintenance on the move!

Secure FTP Access

Secure FTP allows you to transfer files much the same as you would with a standard FTP client only better! By using Secure FTP to transfer your files the information transferred is encrypted for added security. Just as Hosting365 recommends SSH over Telnet, we also recommend using a Secure FTP client over standard FTP. Both Secure FTP and SSH enable you to function the same as you would with standard FTP and Telnet with the added benefit of encrypting the information as it is sent from one location to the next. Secure FTP is available with all Unix hosting plans.

Direct Shell Access

Every full package on the Hosting365 servers has access to their web site's content 24 hours a day 7 days a week via SSH! Unlike other hosts we do NOT charge extra for SSH accounts. SSH is a vital part of scripting on the Internet and should never be restricted! Shell access enables you to access your account and make changes from the command line.


PHP 4

PHP is a tool that enables you to create dynamic web pages. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just as standard HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages. PHP is language that gets things done without having to utilize many scripts to accomplish the tasks! For more information about PHP visit PHP.net

Dedicated IP Address

This allows you access to your account via FTP, Telnet, and the browser, from any location at any time by simply using your domain name or its Dedicated IP address. A dedicated IP is a requirement for anonymous FTP Servers and SSL sites.


SpamAssassin with Exclusive Control Panel

A powerful program designed to recognize and tag email that has the same traits as spam. Hosting365 has pre-installed this software for use with all packages. SpamAssassin, along with Hosting365's exclusive control panel, provides options for handling any emails tagged by SpamAssassin. Options provided include whitelisting, blacklisting, customizable subject tags, deleting, redirecting or bouncing the tagged email. This powerful spam filtering software is easily customizable via Hosting365's exclusive and powerful cp.

Unlimited Aliases

You may setup as many forwarding aliases as you like with any of the full packages offered by Hosting365. Aliases enable you to receive [email protected] email from another email account such as [email protected], automatically!

Unlimited Autoresponders

Autoresponders are very handy little tools, when the need arises to offer a visitor an immediate explanation of a product or service via email quickly and automatically. Autoresponders are a way to have a visitor send an email to a particular address by which they instantly receive a response predefined by you. There are no limits to the number of Autoresponders you may set up within your account when Hosting365 is trusted to host it!

Multiple POP3 Email Accounts

The smallest full package Hosting365 offers includes 100 POP3 email accounts and the allowances only go up from there! POP3 email accounts have been re-defined by many hosts in that they really are only offering email aliases yet call them POP email accounts. This is not the case with Hosting365! Aliases and POP3 accounts are very different. An email alias is an account that simply forwards the email to a different account of your choice. Aliases do not permit you to send email from those addresses. On the other hand, a full POP3 email account is for receiving AND sending email. Each POP3 account offered by Hosting365 allows you to use your own domain name for the incoming and outgoing mail servers and functions both ways as a POP email account should.

Catch-All Email Account

Hosting365 understands the importance of email for online interactions. For this reason we set-up your domain's primary POP email account to receive mail even if the name of the address has a typo in it! A Catch-All Email account is an account that will accept any mail directed to your domain name that is not otherwise specified. If you have an email address such as, [email protected] and someone accidentally sends mail to [email protected] this email will not be lost or bounced back. Instead it will be automatically directed to your catch-all account to help save you from losing important messages! After your account has been setup you may enter your cp at any time to change which address functions as the catch-all account, or if you prefer you may remove the functionality at your leisure.

Web Based Email

WebMail offers Site Owners easy access to all of their Hosting365 email accounts from anywhere they have access to the Internet and a web browser. It has all of the functionality needed for a web based email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. Using webmail you can compose, send, and receive email with your Hosting365 hosted email accounts directly from the web! Webmail is based on the SQwebmail and IMP projects.Webmail works with most any browser, from any type of internet connection. All you need is your email address and password.

Pre-installed CGI scripts

There are a number of CGI scripts that almost all web sites require. Rather then having to install these scripts yourself, Hosting365 does it for you. This enables you to simply add a few lines of code to your web page without having to worry about the scripting side of things. Some examples of scripts we currently have installed in our library are, guest books, mail forms, counters, clocks, dates and more.

ezMLM (mailing list manager)

Hosting365 has pre-installed the powerful ezMLM mailing list for you to use with any of the full packages offered. With ezMLM you are able to easily (and automatically via the control panel!) create various types of mailing lists such as announcement-only lists and general discussions lists. You may setup the mailing list so that only you can send messages out to your subscribers or in such a way that you and your subscribers can send email to each other much like a message forum.

Customizable 404 Page

It's a given that at one time or another someone is going to enter an area of your web site that simply is not there. It is very wise to offer them a way back into your web site! When you activate an account with Hosting365 we provide you with a pre-installed 404.html page. You may edit this page in any way you see fit, offering links back to your home page so your visitors remain on your site rather then drifting off into cyber space all because of a bad link or mis-typed URL.

Complete .htaccess Control

Every full package Hosting365 has to offer supports standard Apache .htaccess directives (custom error pages and a whole a lot more!). Combining this feature with numerous other modules we have installed for you and you've got power only limited by your own imagination! Advanced developers will appreciate the freedom provided by Hosting365.

Automated Password Protection

Via the control panel, provided with each and every full package Hosting365 offers; you may easily point and click your way to password-protected directories. If you have a development-only area of your web site, or a section specifically for family/friends, or possibly a pay-per-view section you'll certainly want to password protect it so the Internet at large cannot gain access to view the contents. With the control panel(or even manually using .htaccess) you will be able to password protect any part of your web site as desired.

SSI/xSSI/SSSL ready

Some servers disallow SSI (Server Side Includes), most disallow xSSI (Extended Server Side Includes), and few offer SSSL (Server Side Scripting Language), All three come standard with every Hosting365 package at no charge! This allows you more control over your web site and makes large sites a great deal easier to keep updated.

Perl, Python

Perl is a high-level programming language. It derives from the ubiquitous C programming language and to a lesser extent from sed, awk, the Unix shell, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. Perl's process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming. CGI scripts are often written in Perl.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing.

What site referred them? What keywords were used in the search engines?

URL works w/ & w/o 'www'

Unrestricted Bandwidth

Unrestricted Bandwidth is getting harder and harder to find on the Internet unless you go with a dedicated solution. The majority of hosts that offer Unlimited Bandwidth, or even Limited Bandwidth, restrict the ways you can utilize this bandwidth. Hosting365 does not restrict the bandwidth that comes with your account! You may use your bandwidth for archives, zip files, unlinked documents etc. No need to search for the hidden print or the ridiculous rules for bandwidth because there isn't any with Hosting365!
