In order to provide our Web clients with information to market their services properly, we provide detailed statistics for most of our Plans, showing total hits, bandwidth usage as well as where hits are coming from and who is accessing the web site. This is invaluable information that is required for any marketing campaign. We use graphical tools to produce and generate such reports on a periodic basis for our web customers.

For the more advanced web hoster we provide Perl CGI scripting capability. We also offer fourth generation development languages such as Cold Fusion scripting for dynamic page and result generation. Cold Fusion eliminates the headache and difficulty of programming in low level and CGI languages and allows the web hoster to design and develop an interactive and dynamic web site quickly.

Pricing for this shopping cart is on a case by case basis.
