POP3 / IMAP Email accounts
Every account comes with as many POP e-mail accounts as you would like. You have the ability to set up new accounts and edit/delete existing accounts through your powerful online Site Manager. You can determine how much disk space you would like to allot to each account and even have the ability to make it unlimited!
E-Mail Autoresponder
All Fame Hosting accounts come with unlimited e-mail autoresponders. An autoresponder is a computer program that automatically returns a prewritten message to anyone who submits e-mail to a particular Internet address, whether an individual or a Web site. Autoresponders are widely used by Web sites for the purpose of responding to visitor comments and suggestions in a preliminary way and, in cases where traffic is heavy, as the sole way to communicate with user inquiries.
E-Mail Forwarding & Aliasing
All Fame Hosting accounts come with unlimited e-mail forwarding & Aliasing. E-mail forwarding is an email service in which your email is automatically sent (forwarded) from one or more email address, to another (possibly several) specified email address.
Webmail Access
Now you can check your e-mail from any computer with an Internet connection. Fame Hosting provides squirrelmail, a web-based professional solution for accessing your e-mail from a web browser.
Mailing List
All Fame Hosting accounts come with mailing lists. A Mailing list is a very popular way for people to send and receive information of a particular type. For example, you might wish to add all of your customers to a mailing list and then notify them of upcoming sales or specials by sending only one message to the main list address, which would then send the message to all e-mail addresses contained in that list.
Spam and Virus Protection
Every web hosting account at famehosting.com comes with SPAM protection using SpamAssassinT.
As our servers use Linux, they are invulnerable to most viruses.
However there is certain danger that an infected email message is downloaded to a Windows computer and compromises it. That's why we have installed ClamAntivirus, which scans each and every email message passing through our servers. The antivirus is updated DAILY and is 100% effective.
FTP Accounts and Access
The process by which files are transferred to the web server is called 'FTP' (File Transfer Protocol). You have unlimited access via FTP 24 hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure and you may set up as many FTP user accounts as you like in your Site Manager.
Subdomains
Subdomains or 3rd level domains are web addresses that operate just under a top level domain, but behave as an independent domain. You can place a word or phrase in place of the standard 'www' (subdomain.domain.com) and redirect all requests for that URL to a different directory within your website. You can set up subdomains from within your Site Manager.
Multiple Domain Hosting
Fame Hosting supports the ability to host multiple domains on a single hosting package. You can host domains that all point to the same directory (e.g. domain.com and domain.net point to the same place). You can also point each domain to it's own specific directory (e.g. domain1.com to /domain1directory/, domain2.com to /domain2directory/). Then, if you create an e-mail account, mail is automatically captured for each of your domains (sales@domain1.com, sales@domain2.com, sales@domain1.net would all go to the same mailbox).

Raw Access Logs
Every Fame Hosting account comes with downloadable raw access logs. Raw access logs are used by your graphical web statistic program to generate the charts and graphs. The raw access logs will show the user's IP, date and time of the access, what kind of request was done, which document was requested, HTTP status code, bytes transferred, user agent info, and more. If you prefer to manually interperate your web site statistics, you'll need to download your raw logs to identify who your site's visitors are. Although much more difficult, analyzing raw logs can provide a more detailed look at your sites accesses than graphical web statistics.
MySQL
MySQL is a popular Open Source Software relational database management system which uses a subset of ANSI SQL (Structured Query Language).
Crontabs
Cron is the ability to run programs based on the server clock. A cron job is a scheduled task that you want to automatically run at a scheduled time, e.g. run my backup at 7:30pm everyday. You need to create a cron table or 'crontab', a file of dates and commands that you want to run. A crontab file instructs the server to run specific commands at a given time.
File Manager
Our File Manager allows you to completely manage your site from your browser without having to FTP into your account. You can add new content or edit or delete existing content with easy access through your Site Manager.
Web Statistics
Every Fame Hosting account comes with a graphical web statistic program installed. With this program you will be able to better monitor and track visitors to your site, see which pages get the most traffic, view your monthly bandwidth usage, and much more.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
SSL is an abbreviation for 'Secure Sockets Layer'. SSL is a transaction security standard that provides data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity. SSL is usually used on sites that accept credit card numbers or other private information. All Fame Hosting accounts support the SSL security standard and have access to the Fame Hosting shared SSL certificate for custom scripts and securing sensitive data. You can also use your own certificate if you'd prefer.
Microsoft FrontPage
FrontPage is a web publishing application created for non-programmers. The Microsoft FrontPage web authoring and management tool gives you everything you need to get your web site up and running fast. Fame Hosting supports the use of FrontPage 2002, 2000, 98 and 97.

CGI-BIN Support
Every Fame Hosting account comes with a personal CGI-BIN. The CGI-BIN is a directory on the server where the executable CGI scripts reside. We have pre-installed some very popular and common CGI scripts in your CGI-BIN already. You have complete control over your CGI-BIN and can install any custom or 3rd party CGI scripts that you would like.
Perl
Perl is a server-side scripting language which is commonly used to write CGI programs. Perl programs, or 'scripts', are text files which are parsed (run through and executed) by a program called an 'interpreter' on the server.
Server Side Includes (SSI)
SSI (abbreviation for 'Server-Side Includes') is a server-side scripting language. SSI scripting commands are embedded within a webpage and are parsed and executed on the web server to generate dynamic HTML pages. Common uses of SSI are to include files (e.g. a header or footer file) that are used on multiple pages, or to show the current date and time.
