High Performance
and Reliable Technology
Our commitment to high performance web
hosting is illustrated by our installed technology. You
won't see any low performance, off-the-shelf PCs here.
InterSpace employs dozens of high performance Silicon Graphics
web servers to serve web pages with lightning speed.
These servers are connected to the Internet via multiple
T3 connections (45 Mb/s each!) on separate and diverse
backbones (UUnet, MCI, Sprint) for redundancy and
balanced workloads. InterSpace monitors backbone performance
and automatically sends IP traffic down the shortest path
using the Cisco BGP4 protocol. You can rest assured that
your InterSpace hosted web site will be fast, responsive, and
reliable.
Domain Name Registration
InterSpace offers virtual domain web hosting
accounts which means you can have your own domain name
(www.yourname.com) or (www.yourname.co.il)for your account. InterSpace will handle
either domain name registration or transfer on your
behalf. You can also have additional
domain names point to your account for a small
additional charge. We are one of nine companies to be
under the InterNIC Premier Partner Plan. This allows us
to have our own personal InterNIC representative and
phone number, giving us an unparalleled level of service
and response time for InterNIC related issues.
Unlimited updates via your own
FTP account
You will have unlimited access to your
account via FTP 24-hours a day to set up and maintain
your web site. You can work on HTML documents, graphics,
and scripts locally and then upload files to your web
site when ready. An FTP tutorial
and client software is available.
Microsoft FrontPageTM extensions supported
InterSpace is pleased to offer support for Microsoft FrontPage extensions.
This allows you to use the easy-to-use Microsoft
FrontPage program to create and maintain your web site.
You may request that FrontPage extensions be installed
within your web site when placing an order for domain web
hosting services or contact our support department
directly. InterSpace does not charge a fee for this
installation! Microsoft provides direct support for all
FrontPage users.
1000+ MB of data transfer per
month
In general, any outward bound traffic
from a web site with the exception of e-mail is
considered to be data transfer. For example, each time a
web page or image is loaded, a file is downloaded from
your web site (not uploaded), or an audio file is
requested data transfer is generated. InterSpace allows a
generous 1000 MB per month of data transfer for Professional Plan
and up to 10 GB per month for High Volume accounts.
Additional data transfer beyond the threshold will incur
a small charge of $.15 per MB per month. Our experience
has shown that 1000 MB per month is more than enough
bandwidth for most web sites. In fact, 98% to 99% of our
customers operate within their free data transfer
allowance.
Unlimited mail forwarding to a
default address
Once your domain name is active
worldwide, you can receive all e-mail addressed to your
domain such as webmaster@yourname.com,
sales@yourname.com, etc. By default, all e-mail addressed
to your domain will forward to your real e-mail
address provided by your local internet provider. For
convenience, 10 mail forwarding options are available if
you need specific addresses to be forwarded to different
addresses on the internet. For example, e-mail addressed
to webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at
AOL, but sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy
account.
POP Accounts
In addition to mail forwarding, users
have the option to retrieve e-mail directly from POP3
mailboxes on the mail server using a mail program such as
Eudora. One master
POP and five additional POPs are included in our Plan #1
accounts. The additional POPs can be assigned unique ids
and passwords to ensure privacy. Higher level domain
accounts provide even more POP addresses for your use.
You can also purchase additional POPs as needed. A PPP
internet connection is needed.
Auto email responders
"Autoresponders" reply to
incoming e-mail automatically. An autoresponder could be
used to send a standard text file to persons addressing,
say, info@yourname.com . If
you've ever received a response to an e-mail which
suggests that the recipient is away from the office, you
may have received such an automated response.
Controllable Anonymous FTP
Enabling anonymous FTP allows visitors to
access your web site to upload and/or download files
without a unique id and password. By controllable
anonymous FTP, we are referring to an environment
whereby anonymous access can be limited to specific files
and directories.
Account "Control
Panel" accessed via WWW
All users have access to a web-based
Control Panel which allows you to set mail forwarding
options, enable/disable anonymous FTP access, view your
statistics, change your password and more. It also allows
access to other features such as an HTML Form Generator,
web-based HTML editor and Perl script checker. Users can
also update account contact information at anytime
without having to contact customer support.
Detailed web usage statistics
& access to raw log files
We a give you a choice of using MKStats1.0, MKStats 2.1, or Analog
to track your web usage statistics such as what domains
are accessing your web site, how many "hits"
you are getting, how much data is being transferred and
more. In addition, InterSpace gives you direct access to your
raw log files so you can analyze your statistics with
other more full-featured programs. (see products that enhance our services)
CGI script support via your own
cgi-local directory
All customers have access to a personal cgi-local
directory in which you can place your own custom
CGI scripts. CGI scripts are often used to accomplish
tasks which are not supported by basic HTML such as a
"hit" counter or guest book. InterSpace makes a
number of CGI
scripts available, but this directory can be used to
set up scripts that you write (or find elsewhere on the
web).
Pre-written CGI scripts
available for your use
Perhaps you don't know how to write your
own CGI scripts or you don't want to spend your time
re-inventing the wheel. InterSpace offers several pre-written
scripts, available free for your use. These include a hit
counter, guest book, mail form, shopping cart*,
discussion forum, and more!
Shopping Cart program*
A Shopping Cart program allows you to implement your own
on-line storefront. The shopping cart keeps track of what
visitors have ordered and allows them to add or remove
items from a 'virtual shopping cart'. When a visitor
decides to check-out, the order information including the
buyer's name, address and billing instruction is e-mailed
to the site webmaster and a receipt is sent to the
shopper. Our unix Corporate Plan and above include a pre-written
Shopping Cart script that you can customize for your use.
An extensive documentation
are available. For those of you who may be interested in
a more comprehensive on-line commerce solution, Mercantec's SoftCart is
available as an additional product.
Access to our SSL Secure Server* (also available with NT plans)
SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) allows users to collect data such as credit
card information in a secure environment. Information
submitted via a secure form is sent to the server
in an encrypted mode. Users may choose to research
methods such as encrypted email (PGP), CyberCash, or
other solution for retrieving such information from their
web sites.
Access to CyberCashTM* (soon available with NT plans)
CyberCash enables
you to securely process credit card transactions 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to a new global marketplace.
CyberCash works with all the popular browsers, as well as
the majority of Internet hardware, software, servers,
communication protocols, and web store applications.
TrueSpeechTM server support (only available with Unix plans)
TrueSpeech is
a high quality speech compression software which
compresses speech down to as much as 1/40th its original
size. Since regular speech files are normally large,
compression using TrueSpeech enables them to be
transferred faster and more easily. Support for
TrueSpeech real-time audio is available for use in your
web pages.
RealAudioTM server support* (soon available with NT plans)
Progressive Networks' RealAudio system is a
client-server based streaming media delivery system for
the Internet. Providers of news, entertainment, sports,
and business content can create and deliver audio-based
streaming multimedia content through the Internet to
audiences worldwide. We not only provide the server
extensions but also include step by step instructions to include RealAudio in your web pages.
Access to ExciteTM Search Engine (only available with Unix plans)
Excite
is a new generation of web navigation. It gives your web
site the same advanced search capabilities used by the
Excite service, allowing visitors to search your web site
using keywords or concepts.
Index Server 
If your site requires the need to perform
ad-hoc queries of web content, Index Server gives a very
fast and easy way of returning the results of the
queries. Take a look at the search function at http://www.microsoft.com
to see how fast this retrieval method is.
mSQL Database Server and
Utilities*
mSQL (mini
SQL), is a lightweight database engine designed to
provide fast access to stored data. We provide the tools
to create a searchable database. In most instances,
custom programming (commonly Perl or PHP) is needed to
implement a fully functional web-to-database interface.
ODBC Database
Connectivity 
It is very easy to set up your database
in the NT web environment through the use of ODBC (Open
Database Connectivity). We support your Access and Visual
FoxPro databases with our NT plans and also Microsoft SQL
Server with our NT 2 plan. Access to databases is eased
with IDC/HTX and Active Server Pages. FrontPage and Visual InterDev include wizards
to simplify database access.
Active Server
Pages (ASP) 
ASP is a programming environment that
allows you to run popular VB Script or J Script on the
server. This is a major improvement in ease of use and
power over the old methods of Perl and CGI. Since the
code runs on the server, complexity can be added to your
web sites while maintaining browser independence. There
are also built in components that extend the power of the
approach.
Development Tools
- Visual InterDev and FrontPage 
Both FrontPage and Visual InterDev are
optimized for generating data aware web sites that take
advantage of Active Server Pages. They are full of
wizards and interfaces that make creating a complex web
site that takes full advantage of the NT environment,
easy. They also allow for the debugging of your web
locally before deploying it on the World Wide Web. Your
web site visitors don't ever have to access untested
pages and you can develop in a much faster local
environment.
Personalization
System 
The Personalization System adds three
components to Active Server Pages and is just one example
of the extensibility of the ASP approach. There are
components that help you keep track of visitors
preferences, a voting capability and an easy way to send
mail.
Microsoft SQL
Server (NT2 plan only)
The Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 service
empowers your web sites with the most powerful but also
easy to use client/server database system available. We
provide the capability to administer your SQL database
with a web based interface that allows the pass through
of scripts and the uploading data with the BCP utility.
InterSpace also provides connectivity for the popular SQL
Server tools of Visual InterDev, SQL Enterprise Manager
and IQL/w. We even offer a service that upsizes your
existing Access and Visual FoxPro databases to SQL Server
6.5 on our servers. Check out the power of SQL Server on
the web with our 6 million row demo http://205.152.228.3/jfhsql.htm
On-line Technical
Support
InterSpace offers extensive on-line
technical support and documentation which will help
you get started, get you out of a bind, and give you the
means to create complex, interactive sites. In addition,
our technical support staff is available by e-mail 24 hours a day, 7
days a week to assist you.
*Available under Unix Corporate Plan
