hosting features

Sitebot provides most advanced features as explained below to make hosting easy for you.

Domain Name Registration: Sitebot offers virtual domain Web hosting accounts which means you can have your own Web address or "domain name" (eg: www.yourname.com). We can handle U.S. domain name registration or transfers on your behalf. (ie: .com, .net, .org, etc.). As a Network Solutions Premier Gold partner, we have our own personal InterNIC representative, giving us an unparalleled level of service and response time for InterNIC related issues. The InterNIC charges $70 to register a domain name which covers the first two years. They currently bill at a rate of $35 per year thereafter.
Sitebot can also serve non-U.S. domain names as well. We can provide you with the appropriate nameserver and technical contact information to assist you in registering a non-U.S. domain name with your local NIC.

You can also have additional domain names point to your account for a small additional charge.

FrontPage: We can install Microsoft FrontPage extensions for your account. This allows you to use Microsoft FrontPage to create and maintain your Web site. You may request that FrontPage extensions be installed within your Web site when placing your order, or you may request them at a later date by contacting our support department.

Shopping Cart: Our Free Shopping Cart program allows you to implement your own on-line storefront. The shopping cart keeps track of what visitors have ordered and allows them to add or remove items from a 'virtual shopping cart'. When a visitor decides to check-out, the order information, including the buyer's name, address and billing instruction is e-mailed to the site Webmaster and a receipt is sent to the shopper. If you are interested in a more comprehensive online commerce solutions, refer to our E-Commerce solutions.

Unlimited Mail Forwarding: Once your domain name is active worldwide, you can receive all e-mail addressed to your domain such as webmaster@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com, etc. By default, all e-mail addressed to your domain will forward to the e-mail address you provide us when you sign up. For convenience, specific mail forwarding options are available if you need specific addresses each to be forwarded to different addresses on the Internet. For example, e-mail addressed to webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at AOL, while sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy account.

POP e-mail Accounts: In addition to mail forwarding, users have the option to retrieve e-mail directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or Eudora. Each of our plans includes a Master POP account which can receive all e-mail and control the settings for any optional configurable POP accounts. Each of our plans also offers a specified number of configurable POP accounts. The additional POPs can be assigned unique IDs and passwords to ensure privacy. You can also purchase additional POPs if needed.

In fact, 98% to 99% of our customers operate within their free data transfer allowance. Additional data transfer beyond the threshold will incur a small charge.
