Apache handlers allow you to control what Apache will do with certain file types. When Apache sees a file, it has an action built in for that file type, and will perform that action. If you wish Apache to do a different action, you will need to make a handler to tell Apache to perform that action. For example, if you use a file type that requires a special service to run it, such as a movie file (.mpg) that you wish to run through a specific streaming server, you need to tell Apache to treat these files differently.

All Renderhosting.net web hosting plans offer a backup area allowing you to download the daily, weekly, or monthly backup file of your entire web site, or a particular MySQL, alias, or filter backup file. If your computer crashes, or your personal backups are destroyed, these files allow you to recover your site in a convenient manner (you could also use FTP to download each file, but it would take much longer as the files are not compressed).

Fantastico allows easy installation of over 35 scripts. With Fantastico, installation procedure takes seconds and can be performed by novices without the need of setting up MySQL databases, importing structure, chmoding files and without the need of other tasks usually associated with installations.

We have provided a brief overview for some of the many scripts offered.

The file manager in our control panel allows you to modify the files and contents of files that are part of your website. The file manager allows point-and-click uploading, editing, copying, and more. You can access the files that make up your website through the file manager or standard FTP.

All web hosting accounts offer FTP access to upload files to your web site. Some plans offer additional FTP accounts. With additional FTP accounts you can provide unique FTP ussername and passwords to allow, friends, family or employees to update files on your web site.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method by which you can transfer files between your computer and the server hosting your web site. When using FTP you use an application called a "client" to connect to a machine called a "server." There are a large number of FTP software packages available. Some of them are built in to your browser.

Compare our web hosting plans to choose a plan with the number of FTP accounts you require. Remember, it is easy to add additional FTP accounts at any time.

Every web hosting account on Renderhosting offers IMAP support. IMAP is an acronym for Internet Message Access Protocol, and is a standard protocol for accessing e-mail from our local server. IMAP is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is received and held for you by your Internet server. You can view just the heading and the sender of the mail and then decide whether to download the mail. You can also create and manipulate folders or mailboxes on the server, delete messages, etc.

The IP Deny Manager allows you to prevent an IP address, domain name, or block of IP addresses from accessing your web site. If someone is using a lot of your bandwidth, posting malicious content, or should not be allowed to access your site for another reason, you can preventing them from doing so in the IP Deny Manager.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is a data-oriented protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork.

IP is a network layer protocol in the internet protocol suite and is encapsulated in a data link layer protocol (e.g., Ethernet). As a lower layer protocol, IP provides the service of communicable unique global addressing amongst computers.

The Renderhosting Web Site and FTP Statistics area presents you with a wide variety of information about your web site, from the latest visitors to a detailed monthly summary of hits, as well as providing an error log. Our Statistics tools keep track of which pages are being visited most often, and where your users are coming from.

We offer the most popular and advanced systems for reporting your web site statistics. Analog, Awstats and Webalizer are all available within your web hosting control panel.

All plans come with one or more mailing lists. Mailman is a popular mailing list script. Mailing lists are an ideal tool for communication between far-flung participants and can be about anything you want. Mailman allows you to set up a mailing list with a large number of configurable options, such as who is on the list, where mailing lists messages are sent, and whether you include welcoming messages to new subscribers.

Compare our web hosting plans to find the plan with the number of mailing lists you require. Remember, you can always add more mailing lists when you need them.

In contemporary usage, memory usually refers to a form of solid state storage known as random access memory (RAM) and sometimes other forms of fast but temporary storage.

Computer storage, computer memory, and often casually memory refer to computer components, devices and recording media that retain digital data used for computing for some interval of time. Computer storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention. It is one of the fundamental components of all modern computers, and coupled with a central processing unit (CPU).

Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. For example, the text/html mime type equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new mime types specifically for your site (note that you can not alter the system defined mime type values). MIME types are often used to handle new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared no one had these extensions set up on their server. With mime types, however, you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages immediately.

MySQL is the most popular database for web sites, and is used by the majority of applications and web sites you will find online; all of our Fantastico scripts use MySQL. MySQL is a database written and maintained by a large community of developers and is widely supported. All Renderhosting web hosting plans come with access to MySQL and an easy to use interface for administration and configuration. However, when using Fantastico or other scripts we provide your MySQL database is automatically installed and configured!

For more information on MySQL, documentation and tools visit www.MySQL.com.

Compare our web hosting plans and determine the amount of MySQL databases you need. It's easy to upgrade plans or add additional databases at anytime. Most scripts require only one MySQL database.

Network Tools allow you to find out information about any domain, or to trace the route from the server your site is on to the computer you are accessing your control panel from. Finding out information about a domain can be useful in making sure your DNS is set up properly as you will find out information about your IP address as well as your DNS.

An operating system (OS) is a set of computer programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer. An operating system processes raw system and user input and responds by allocating and managing tasks and internal system resources as a service to users and programs of the system. At the foundation of all system software, an operating system performs basic tasks such as controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing system requests, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking, and managing file systems.

Outlook auto configure comes standard with all Renderhosting.net plans. Microsoft Outlook Express is one of the most popular e-mail applications available; you can automatically configure Outlook Express from our web hosting control panel. This saves time in manually configuring your e-mail application and avoids errors.

Compare our web hosting plans and sign up today and have your outlook auto configureds.

You can set up a domain name that you own to point to another domain name. This is known as "parking" a domain. Example: You own the business.co.nz and innovation.co.nz domain names. You already have a web site for business.co.nz, but you do not want to create a new web site for innovation.co.nz at the moment. By parking innovation.co.nz on top of business.co.nz, all URLs for innovation.co.nz will automatically go to business.co.nz instead.

Compare our web hosting plans to find the plan with the number parked domains you require. Remember, it is always easy to add additional parked domains.

With Renderhosting you can protect directories within your web site from browsers by using a password to protect them. This allows you to restrict material to only authorized users or store sensitive material online.

You have unlimited control over who can access protected directories by adding, editing and removing authorized users.

Perl is a very popular programming language for online applications. Most CGI scripts are written in Perl, so chances are if it's something you need for your site, someone has written it in Perl (or PHP).

Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development, and more. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). Its major features are that it's easy to use, supports both procedural and object-oriented (OO) programming, has powerful built-in support for text processing, and has one of the world's most impressive collections of third-party modules.

All Renderhosting.net web hosting accounts work with php scripts. PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

PHP, short for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", is an open-source, reflective programming language used mainly for developing server-side applications and dynamic web content, and more recently, other software.

PHP allows interaction with a large number of relational database management systems, such as MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite. PHP runs on most major operating systems, including UNIX, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, and can interact with many major web servers. The official PHP website contains extensive documentation. The Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) architecture has become popular in the Web industry as a way of deploying inexpensive, reliable, scalable, secure web applications. (The 'P' in LAMP can also stand for Perl or Python.) Alternatively, the Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP (WIMP) and Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP (WAMP) architectures exist as alternatives for those wishing to use Windows as their server operating system.

PHP is dynamically typed. That is, the rules are not as strict with variables. They do not have to be declared and they can hold any type of object. Arrays are heterogenous, meaning a single array can contain objects of more than one type. There is a command line interface, as well as GUI libraries such as the Gimp Tool Kit (GTK+) and text mode libraries like Ncurses and Newt.

PHP is the result of the efforts of many contributors. It is licensed under a BSD-style license, the PHP license. Since version 4, it has been powered by the Zend engine.

POP3 allows e-mail applications such as outlook express and Eudora to retrieve e-mail from the server. All e-mail accounts with Renderhosting.net web hosting plans allow POP3, IMAP and webmail access.

A central processing unit (CPU), or sometimes simply processor, is the component in a digital computer that interprets computer program instructions and processes data

Python, like PHP and Perl, is another popular programming language for developing dynamic web sites. All web hosting plans offered by Renderhosting.net support Python.
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing.

Redhat Enterprise is a popular Linux distribution fully supported for installation by DedicatedRoom. Produced by Red Hat this Linux distribution is considered to be the distribution of choice within large corporations.

All accounts come with Unlimited reditects. The Redirects area allows you to redirect Internet traffic from one web page to another. This is usually used when a web page has been moved to another location. Two types of redirects are offered: temporary and permanent. Temporary redirects tell the Internet traffic agents (browsers, search engines, etc.) that this is only a temporary redirection, and that they should return to this initial location again in the future for the same page. Permanent redirects tell the Internet traffic agents to go to the redirection address in the future.

Setting up unlimited redirects is easy though our web hosting control panel.

Our control panel allows you to submit your web site to multiple search engines at the same time so that people on the web can search for your site through a major search engine.

Server Side Includes allow you to place specials tag in your HTML. You can use SSI to include standard headers and footers, as well as other dynamic content.

Set up an entire e-commerce shop online in minutes with any Renderhosting web hosting plan. Install osCommerce through the Fantastico script installer. With osCommerce you are only a few clicks away from a full-featured online store. osCommerce offers many payment options for your customers as well as product management, order procurement, featured items and more. You can run an entire web site with osCommerce.

SMTP is an acronym for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. The SMTP protocol is standard in all web hosting plans. Like POP3, SMTP is also used in major e-mail applications.

Hosting your web site requires an amount of storage on our servers, just like your personal computer uses its hard drive to store your documents and photos. Most web sites require very little storage. Our entire suite of web hosting plans offers ample storage to host nearly any type of web site. For instance, if your site contains mainly text and only a few images you could literally have tens of thousands of web pages on even the personal web hosting plan.

Image and video use quite a bit more storage/space than text. However, if you took a photo on a digital camera at 640x480 resolution it would usually take about 60-80 kilobytes (KB) of storage; this means you could have a web site with over 5 thousand photos on the personal plan.

It's easy to view the amount of storage you use in our web hosting control panel.

Compare our web hosting plans and determine the amount of storage you need. Is easy to upgrade plans or add additional storage at anytime.

Sub domains, like addon domains, also exist from a directory in your main web folder. You specify the name of a sub domain before your main domain name. For example SUBDOMAIN.domain.com will also be www.domain.com/SUBDOMAIN.

Compare our web hosting plans to find the plan with the number of sub domains you require. Remember, it is always easy to add additional sub domains.

When people visit your web site, their web browser makes a request for our server to send the appropriate files that make up one or more of your web pages: HTML, PHP, images, CGI scripts, etc. Each file the server sends uses a small amount of transfer bandwidth. Every month the amount of transfer you use is reset. Many web sites receive thousands of visits per month and use less than 5GB of transfer.

You can easily monitor the amount of transfer you use in the control panel.

Compare our web hosting plans and determine the amount of transfer/bandwidth you need. It's easy to upgrade plans or add additional transfer at any time.

The Renderhosting Web Site and FTP Statistics area presents you with a wide variety of information about your web site, from the latest visitors to a detailed monthly summary of hits, as well as providing an error log. Our Statistics tools keep track of which pages are being visited most often, and where your users are coming from.

We offer the most popular and advanced systems for reporting your web site statistics. Analog, Awstats and Webalizer are all available within your web hosting control panel.

All web hosting plans come standard with webmail. You can read your online e-mail using NeoMail, Horde, or SquirrelMail. All of these popular webmail applications allow you to read your e-mail, save them, keep an address book, and perform all of the other basic e-mail functions that you are used to. The main difference between webmail and offline e-mail applications, such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook Express, is that all of these functions are performed online rather than on your own computer, and offline applications generally provide more features. Webmail is optional. You can still use your favorite offline e-mail applications if you prefer. You can even use a combination of webmail applications and another tool - you can check your e-mail online, perhaps when you're at work, and download your e-mail to your computer when you get home. You can automatically configure Outlook Express, or manually configure other mail applications to read your e-mail offline.
