Domain Hosting
Why purchase a domain?  If you're a business owner, then you're missing out on a very important means in today's marketplace to communicate with your customers, allow your customers to communicate with you, advertise your products and services, and even do business no matter when your customers are ready to buy.

As for individuals and organizations, there are a variety of solutions out there, but having your own domain gives you an address of your choice (as long as it's not already taken), and most likely, one that's easy to remember.

CoreComm Internet makes it easy to get a domain set up, and it won't empty out your pocketbook either.  Our domain hosting plans come with a variety of features, including the ability to set up virtual e-mail aliases for your account ("virtuals"), statistics for UNIX Web sites, and a variety of other features.

Here's a breakdown of the various features that come with certain hosting packages:

Feature Description
Virtual E-Mail Addresses You can have several "virtual" e-mail addresses, which act as aliases for a true e-mail address.  Let's say you owned the domain "corecomm.net" and had it hosted through us.  You could have a virtual with a name like "webmaster@corecomm.net" forward to a true e-mail address. 

This allows you to have several appropriate and easy-to-remember addresses for different purposes, but pick it up from your regular CoreComm e-mail account.  Note:  The address it forwards to must be a CoreComm E-Mail account, which come standard with any dial-up Internet access account, or can be purchased separately.

Site Statistics All of our UNIX accounts come with Web site statistics.  These can better help you analyze where your site's visitors are coming from, and when.  This can help you to tell where your customers are coming from, and help you more effectively increase advertising that holds your Web site's address.

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions Microsoft FrontPage Extensions allow you to access, update, maintain, and manage a Web site using one simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get Web page editor and management utility.  Microsoft FrontPage can be purchased from any given computer store and comes with the Premium edition of the Microsoft Office suite. 

While a Web site can be fully designed and maintained using a simple text editor, many people find the tools and user-friendly functions in FrontPage make it much easier and much more efficient to design a site than swimming through thousands of lines of HTML code. 

All of our Windows NT accounts have Microsoft FrontPage extensions installed, and FrontPage should be used to maintain and access those Web sites.

Secure Transactions In order to transmit data safely to a Web server, there should be some level of encryption to prevent snoops from reading the data. 

Our Windows NT Gold accounts allow for your customers to make secure connections to our servers using 40-bit encryption technology, thus helping to ensure personal data between you and your customer is safe.

CGI Scripting CGI stands for "common gateway interface" which allows you to run Perl and CGI scripts (miniature software programs) on the server side to dynamically put data into a Web page for your customers, or process data put in by the customer.
