(The shell by itself does not provide access to the Internet.)

Mail services for a domain.
Includes 10 email addresses needing an account on our server. Addresses that forward mail to another server are free. Additional local accounts are available. A single mailing list is available at no charge.

Web services for a domain:
We offer bulk rates for multiple domains and extended periods.
For each domain, gives you http://www.YourDomainName.com, includes virtual mail services (described above) and 1GB disk space, or more as arranged. We run the Apache webserver, with support for CGI, perl, PHP, MySQL, and JSP if desired.

Server Colocation: $call. Price depends on number of servers and bandwidth use.
Full speed (T3) transfer rate: your server connects to our Cisco router connected to the Internet over a T3 line. Web sites hosted here get about as good service as you can get anywhere. Setup includes DNS configuration and interaction with the InterNIC to establish or transfer a domain name; see below. You may in turn host virtual domains using our DNS. 24x7 physical access is available using a card key (requires a $45 deposit.) We'll reboot your server at your request during normal hours. A 24x7 number is provided for out-of-hours emergencies.

Domain services:
If you wish to own your own virtual domain, it must first be registered with an InterNIC recognized domain registrar, http://www.internic.net/regist.html. We are a reseller for OpenSRS (Tucows) and can register domains and provide Secure Certificates for domains and other uses. It will be your responsibility to keep your domain name current with your registrar if we aren't the registrar. We configure your DNS records as desired.
