Monthly Bandwidth (GB)

Sub Domains
A way of making a separate site but without getting another domain name. An example would be "helpdesk.paulnet.net"
POP3/IMAP Email Accounts
These are e-mail accounts "@yourdomain.com." POP3 accounts download mail to your computer and delete the messages off the server, but IMAP accounts leave an updated set of messages on your computer as well as on the server.
Email Autoresponders
An autoresponder allows you to automatically generate a response to the sender when they send mail to a specific e-mail account.
Email Forwarders
E-mail forwards allow you to create a "virtual" e-mail account. An example: sales@yourdomain.com forwards all mail to the account me@yourdomain.com.
Individual CGI-BIN
This is a place on the server where you are allowed to store your CGI scripts. PaulNet Communications recommends that you use PHP instead of CGI scripts to save on processor load.
PHP Support
PHP is another scripting language. Common web applications powered by PHP include forums and formmail. We recommend PHP because it is less resource intensive.
Password Protected Directories
You can use your control panel to restrict access to certain parts of your website with a password. We also support mod_rewrite.
Custom DNS
Allows you to edit your DNS entries for your domain.
MySQL Databases
MySQL is a type of database commonly used on the Internet. You will most likely see PHP and MySQL used together to create powerful web applications.
Price for additional: $1.95 one-time
Web-based Control Panel
cPanel is an intuitive user interface that will allow you to easily manage your website. This where you will create email boxes and configure domain names.
