Easy-to-Use Control Panel
Our one-of-a-kind control panel gives you the capability to manage all aspects of your account in order to make the best use of your options. With the click of your mouse, you can administer your webspace, your e-mail accounts, your directories, and all the special features that we offer you, such as site statistics and shopping carts. You can even add more features to your account whenever you need them.

FTP & SSH access
Allows you to update your files 24 hours a day. Anonymous FTP can also be setup at no extra charge. To ensure the security of our network and your web site, we do not allow Telnet. We do allow Secure Shell Telnet (SSH) which requires SSH software.

Site Statistics
Track your hits, pageviews, most popular pages and referral sites in an easy-to-use stats program.

E-mail Addresses
Our e-mail addresses are very flexible. You can set them up as POP boxes which store mail, e-mail aliases which redirect mail to another box, or as autoresponders.

Disk Space (MB)
One MB of disk space can hold several hundred text pages or images. Most sites use less than one MB of disk space.

Data Transfer
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain.

File Manager
The File Manager is a very powerful feature. It allows you to manipulate all the files in your web site. You are able to create, delete, and move your files. You can also upload files from your local PC to the server in File Manager. Plus, you can edit the HTML in any of your files from this option. Everything you need to manage your site can be found in this feature.

Archive Manager
The Archive Manager will allow the user to backup and compress their files. For example, if you have a number of files for which you wish to keep a backup, you can select all the files, then create a backup file that contains all of them in compressed format.

FTP
FTP is used to upload and download files. Almost all site design programs like Adobe Pagemill, Macromedia Dreamweaver, GoLive HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to maintain your site.

Secure Shell Telnet (SSH)
Many users are not at all familiar with telnet and just as many do not need to use it. Telnet allows you to get a shell on our Linux servers. The implementation of telnet that we use is called SSH. To use telnet (SSH), we require the user to send us a fax with a copy of their photo ID requesting SSH. Users also need an RSA Key entered in the control panel in order to access it. We also require the user to use SSH software.

Form to E-mail
Our special form to e-mail program takes the contents of a form submission and e-mail's you the results to the address you specify.

Form to PGPmail
This utility is very similar to Form to E-mail, except it uses your PGP key to encrypt the message before sending it to you. Your PGP key is installed with the control panel.

Search Engine
In the control panel you can specify which directories you want searchable by our high powered WAIS index and search utility. You can then provide users with lightning fast content.

Page Access Counters
Our very slick looking access counters can be installed on as many pages as you choose at no extra charge.

Your own CGI-BIN
We encourage development of highly interactive, successful sites. For your site to be truly interactive you need to be able to run computer programs in your own cgi-bin.

Detailed Site Statistics
You can log into your site statistics at any time to see how many hits your site is getting, where your visitors are coming from, what are your most popular pages and much more.

Access to raw logs
If you prefer to use your own statistic analysis program, access to your raw logs is very important.

Anonymous FTP
You can use Anonymous FTP to allow visitors to your site to download files via FTP without a password.

Mailing Lists
Mailing lists allow you to send e-mail to a large number of contacts in a very efficient manner. You can manage the mailing list through the control panel.

Password Protected Pages
You can use the control panel to specify which users are allowed to access certain pages on your site. When visitors click on a certain URL, they are requested to enter a username and password which you manage through the control panel.

Site Builder Software
With our user-friendly, browser-based site builder software, you can quickly build and maintain your own Web Site! This unique, intuitive tool comes with every YourWebHost account. Using the Design Wizard, you can build your own professional-looking Web Site, http://yoursitename.com, in minutes. Whether your site is a business e-commerce site or a home hobby site the site creation tool will give you the functionality to design and maintain your web presence all from within your browser.

Then using the Site, Page and Field Editors, you detail your Site to perfection. Web Site design has never been easier! Our browser-based design tools let you customize all aspects of your Web Site, without requiring a knowledge of HTML programming. You choose images and animations, backgrounds and colors, lines and bullets, font styles and sizes with a click of your mouse button. Type in the text, links, and graphics you want and we put your Site together for you.

SSL Server (https://)
In order to perform secure transactions on the web using https://yourdomain.com you need a hosting company that will support SSL. We use Apache-SSL on all of our servers. In order for SSL to function for your domain, you must acquire a secure certificate from Thawte or Verisign. You can generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and install the certificate with the Control Panel.

MySQL database support
MySQL is our GNU database of choice. We develop all of our own products with MySQL or Oracle. We encourage all mSQL and postgresQL users to migrate to MySQL.

Midi Files
Midi is a great way to add sound to a web site without using lots of bandwidth. All the popular MIDI mime types are supported on our domain.

Real Audio
We do not have a real audio/video server. However, we do support real audio/video streaming for no extra charge.

When Real Audio/Video first came out, it required an audio/video server to be installed on the web server. This was because Real Audio/Video wanted to charge for each "stream'" or visitor. But soon people started writing competitive audio/video streaming technology that didn't require a special server. So, to compete, Real Audio/Video now does not require a server, and you can even use their free tools to create streaming audio over the Internet.

Real Video
We support Video streaming with the Real Video Mime type.

MIME Type Manager
The ability to manage mime types gives you full control of which software programs will work with your site. Mime types are managed through the control panel.

Personal Nameserver:
With your own personal nameserver you have complete management of your domain. Your whois interNIC record will appear with ns.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com and you can add your own custom configurations to your nameserver using the control panel.

SMTP Services:
YourWebHost.Com does not offer SMTP services. Any accounts that wish to have SMTP Services will need to contact their ISP's.
