How is the Virtual Server maintained?
Maintenance of the Virtual Server is done completely by the client. We
provide you with full Telnet and FTP access to your Server and access to
the online Administrator Handbook after you order has been
processed. This Administrator Handbook describes the configuration files
and directory structure of your Virtual Server.

Yes. Maintenance of your Virtual Server can be done by both FTP and
Telnet. The login name and password for the shell access is supplied in
the Virtual Server configuration information sent to you after your
Virtual Server order has been processed.

How do I get my web page stats?
You may use a host of methods to generate statistics about your web
server. You will have full access to your own logs in a combined or
separate format (access_log, error_log, referer_log, agent_log). Any
software that recognizes these file formats can be used to generate
statistics about your web site. Examples of client side statistical
programs include WebTrends, a very powerful program with a GUI front
end that runs on any Windows desktop. We suppy access to
several server side statistical programs such as getstats, mkstats,
and analog.
|
Are CGI scripts provided with the Server?
Each Server comes with its own unique cgi-bin directory. In fact, since
you have complete access to your Virtual Server configuration files, you
can create any number of cgi-bin directories on your Virtual Server. You
may install any CGI script or program on your Virtual Server that you
please. We have several scripts in CGI Library and Contrib
Library that you may find useful.
|
Can perl or other scripting languages be used?
The Virtual Servers come with Perl4 pre-installed. The latest release of
Perl version 5 is also available. The Servers also come with TCL/Tk, csh,
sh, and other popular UNIX scripting languages.

Where can I get answers to my other technical questions?
