sign up form, and your credit card has been accepted through our system, your

minutes, as long as your card passes our security and fraud checks.
redundant connection
We utilize connections to
multiple backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most
efficient manner possible. This includes connections via OC-12, OC-3, and DS-3
uplinks to various providers. Should one connection fail, traffic is immediately
auto-rerouted, thus preventing any potential outages.
freeBSD server
Our server runs a
highly-modified version of FreeBSD 4.8 Unix. Our configuration offers
rock-solid reliability and security, especially when coupled with hardware that
is widely known in the technical community for its amazing reliability.
FreeBSD is an open-source product, and therefore allows us to modify it as
needed.
apache+mod_rewrite
Our server configuration
includes the latest (although usually highly-modified) version of Apache
configured with many additional modules, including mod_rewrite and suexec.
We can also add modules on-demand when requested by users, as long as they pass
our rigorous internal security and stability checks.
control panel
Our online control panel is a
restricted web site through which users can make immediate adjustments to their
account, ranging from adding additional mailboxes to analyzing server logs to
upgrading their account on the spot.
web mail services
Whether on the road, at work,
or in a public library, you can now read your e-mail from any computer that has
a web browser. Our advanced web e-mail interface allows you to read your
e-mail no matter where you are, just as long as you have access to a web
browser.
FrontPage extensions
All our accounts fully support
Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Extensions (which are fully backward-compliant with
FrontPage 98 and 2000) and allow you to use this powerful tool to create your
site, as well as to empower it with advanced search and e-mail features, as well
as other great extensions.
PHP 4, Perl 5
All our accounts have full
access to advanced programming languages including PHP4, Perl 5, Python and TCL.
A full development environment is provided through Telnet or via FTP.
Please note that our development environment may only be used for creating
programs associated with your web site.
cgi-bin directory
Each Smart Essentials or higher account has its own cgi-bin
directory which allows you to upload and run CGI scripts to empower your web
site with features like polls, forms, search engines, and more!
system CGI library
We have made available to all
our users several scripts including SouperMail and FormMail which allow you to
create secure credit card solutions using PGP, guestbooks, e-mail forms and
more. We also can add scripts to our library on-demand.
NEW! WAP/WML support
Every hosting plan comes with
support for WML (Wireless Markup Language) for all your WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) applications at no extra cost. Take advantage of the
increasing numbers of people using handheld devices such as cell phones and
PDA's. Start your first WML based version of your site or transfer your WAP
applications to your ThinkHost account!
custom error pages
By taking advantage of our
custom error page feature, your can rest assured that even when you get a broken
link on your page, or any other problem, you won't lose your visitors.
This feature allows you to create pages in the same style as your web site that
are displayed in case of any sort of error (missing files, etc.)
password protection
All of our accounts fully
support standard Apache password-protection which allows you to secure an area
of your web site (whether certain directories, or files) and only allow access
to those visitors who have a special password you set.
full .htaccess support
Our servers fully support
standard Apache .htaccess directives, and can be combined with our variety of
additional modules (such as mod_rewrite) creating a super-powerful solution for
most any advanced user. From redirection to custom URL re-writing; the
possibilities are unlimited with this powerful feature.
FTP services access
With our around-the-clock
server FTP access, you can rest assured that whether it is at 2pm on a busy day,
or 2am on a quiet night, you'll be able to easily and painlessly update your
pages using any FTP-compliant product, such as WS_FTP or CuteFTP. FTP
allows you to edit, add and delete pages, easily and on the fly.
telnet & ssh access
For the savvy user, ThinkHost
offers full SSH and telnet access for all account levels. Often restricted
by other providers due to security reasons (often only due to lack of competence
by the administrators), when properly secured, SSH and telnet offers a truly
advanced, super-powerful development environment.
server-side includes
By using SSI, users can include
output from CGI scripts and other files into their web pages. For example,
our own site uses SSI to include the header and footers into all our pages.
This saves significant time on edits, when instead of updating 500 pages, we can
update just one. SSI is included with all our accounts.
raw logs and stats
Our server configuration allows
you to download log files detailed information about your visitors -- where they
are coming from, what browser they use, and much more. You can then use
your own analyzer to read in the logs, or you can use the powerful Webalizer
software provided free by ThinkHost to get detailed statistical reports.
