change a boilerplate element, you need only modify the
include file, instead of updating every individual Web
page. Offered with all packages. |

below). |
| Email

redirected to a specific email account. For example, you

or to another account not at yourname.com. These forwards
can be added or deleted at any time. Offered
with all packages. |
| Email
Alias |
| Email Aliases allow you to create email addresses that

Auto-responder |

respond to incoming messages. This is a good feature to

frequently, or if you would like to create an automated
response to frequently asked questions, such as pricing
or hours of operation. Offered with
all packages. |
| Email Spam Filter |

| Secure Server
(SSL) |
SSL is an accepted standard for transferring information
securely across the Internet. It encrypts data passed
between the server and the browser, so that unauthorized
parties cannot interpret sensitive, confidential or
personal information, such as a phone number, address
or credit card. The type of SSL that you use depends
on the secure address that you'd like your customers
to see. With Shared SSL, your secure address will be,
https://youraccount.ssl.simplenet.com.
Private SSL will change your secure address to, https://www.youraccount.com.
Shared SSL is included with the S-300 and Commerce packages,
and can be added to S-150 package.

$149. To obtain a Secure Server Certificate for Private SSL, please contact
customer support.

| Dedicated
IP Address |
A Dedicated IP Address is a number that is assigned
to your web site account. With the growth of the Internet,
it is no longer possible for every server and web site
to have its own IP Address. To address this issue,
many Internet Presence Providers assign IP Address
pools to shared web servers so that they may deal with
incoming and outgoing traffic for several web sites.
A Dedicated IP Address is necessary for accounts that
wish to use a Private Secure Server
(SSL). A Dedicated
IP is included with the Commerce package
and can be added to the S-150 and S-300 packages.

| Domain
Name |
| Domain names are the means by which things are located
on the web, much like your home address says where you
live. Having an easy-to-remember domain name makes it
much simpler for you to promote your site such that friends,
family and associates remember its location. SimpleNet
sells two types of domain names. A subdomain account is
a domain name that we own (simplenet.com), but we allow
you to register the third-level portion of the name as
yourname.simplenet.com. We also offer full-fledged domain
names (yourname.com) that you search for and register
as your own. In fact, with several of our hosting packages,
we’ll purchase your domain name for you as long
as your web site is hosted with us. |
| Subdomains |
| A subdomain, also known as a third level domain, is
a great way to create memorable web addresses for various
areas of your site. For instance, you can create photos.yourname.com
and have that address redirect to the yourname.com/photos
directory of your web site.Offered
with S-150, S-300 and Commerce packages. |
| Third
Level Domain (yourname.simplenet.com) |

domain name "simplenet.com" instead of registering
your own domain such as yourdomain.com |
