Do you offer Microsoft FrontPage extensions ?
Yes. Microsoft FrontPage 98/2000/2002 extensions are available. Please note that
in order for the frontpage components (contact form, hits counter and etc.) to
work, you must upload your web site using the frontpage program publish feature
or the component(s) will not work. Instructions to publish your website using
Frontpage can be found at http://www.seanic.net/support/fp.htm

Does your
server support Dreamweaver ?
Yes. Since Dreamweaver uses FTP functionality to upload and synchronize web
files it is natively supported on our servers.

If I’m using Dreamweaver
(or FTP), can I delete my FrontPage Extensions ?
You can remove them if you wish, although they don’t do any harm if they stay
there. The only drawback is if you decide to switch to FrontPage at a later date
you need to contact us to reinstall the extensions.

Can I use Dreamweaver and FrontPage
at the same time ?
We would recommend that you do not use Dreamweaver and FrontPage at the same
time. FrontPage requires the extensions that are updated when the site is updated
whereas Dreamweaver uses code contained in the html of the file. Changes made
in FrontPage will be incomprehensible to Dreamweaver. FrontPage is a great program
but it can rewrite your code at its own discretion which will cause problems.

If I'm hosted on your
Linux server platform, does it make a difference what type of desktop computer
I use ?
No. It does not matter what type of desktop computer you are using. You may
use a PC or Mac, running Windows, NT, Unix or MacOS, it doesn't matter.

Do you offer SSL (secure)
hosting ?
Currently, we do not provide SSL hosting as most often, E-Commerce site owners
do not need to purchase their own SSL site as most payment gateway providers will
already provide their customers with secure SSL payment facilities. This will
save you hundreds of dollars a year.

Do you support
secure transactions ?
In most common cases, secure transaction pages are usually hosted by your payment
gateway company and in that case, secure transactions are supported.

Do you support Java Applets and Javascript ? What about server-side
Java ?
Our service supports all client-side languages, including Java Applets and JavaScripts.
Currently, due to the lack of a stable and efficient Java engine for the Linux
operating system, we don't offer server side Java. If current engines improve,
we may consider this in the future.

Cold Fusion?
Do note we do not offer "Cold Fusion" in our server at this moment.
Do you support Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Interdev,
VBScript, IIS, or Active Server Pages (ASP) ?
Due to technological limitations, these technologies are restricted to Windows
platforms only, and are not supported by our Linux servers. If you require these
services, our Windows Server 2003 hosting packages
will surely meet your hosting needs.

Do I get a dedicated IP address ?
Due to the world shortage of IP addresses, we do not provide a dedicated IP
for each account (Almost all web hosting providers do not provide a dedicated
IP nowadays). We will provide you a temporary URL as a substitute where you may
use it to access your website if your domain name is not available. However, if
you wish to have a dedicated IP for your web site, it will cost you $36 per year
per IP.
