Daily or Hourly Access Reports
Most servers have monthly or weekly access reports. We provide daily access reports with optional hourly reports! These comprehensive reports tell who entered your site, how long they stayed, what pages they looked at, where they entered, where they left, and much more. Our Urchin software provides the very best in ecommerce reporting.
Full CGI Access
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is used to add advanced features to web sites, things like response forms, counters and fully automated electronic storefront applications. With our servers, you do not operate at the whim of your web provider, some of whom do not allow CGI scripts, or restrict the CGI-BIN (where scripts are stored), or delay for days before installing your scripts. Our server is "virtualized" so you have full control over your CGI-BIN directory. You can create CGI scripts from scratch or download them from the Internet or access some of the more popular CGI scripts.
CommuniGate Pro Mail System Manual
The CommuniGate Pro Server is based on the Internet Standards (RFCs) and it has many additional features required for today's industrial-level messaging systems. The Features table can be used to compare the CommuniGate Pro with other systems available on the market today.
Miva and Server Side Include Support
Our accounts include MivaScript (http://www.miva.com) which allows you to add advanced features to your site without CGI programming - things like database applications, automated shopping carts, interactive forums and on the fly HTML and GIF creation. We also support the less powerful but popular standard Server Side Include.
PHP 4 or 5

MySQL
MySQL is the world's most popular Open Source Database, designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use. MySQL AB is the company owned by the MySQL founders.
Optional Anonymous FTP Access (ftp.yourcompany.com)
Your web site comes complete with a Virtual FTP (File Transfer Protocol) account. This permits you to make software and data available to any web user with FTP capabilities. Your FTP address will be ftp.yourcompany.com and will be indistinguishable from company addresses on expensive dedicated FTP servers. (available on Merchant and Shared Hosting plan.)
Optional SSH Access
All hosting plans include optional SSH access (SSH access only on our shared and high speed mainline servers). You can log into your account and manipulate your area using standard UNIX commands. This is commonly used when developing CGI scripts.
phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin can manage a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user) but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired database.
MivaMan provides state-of-the art programming tools in addition to Miva's Empresa and Virtual Machine (compiler.) As standard, our servers support Perl, PHP 4 or 5, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and more! You can take advantage of these items, plus much more, if desired - Just contact our Live Support or HelpDesk for details!
