ACES OF JACKSONVILLE, INC.
Web Host Services – Descriptions
Domain Name Registration (www.yournamehere.com)
Experience indicates that websites with their own domain names (www.yourcompany.com) are better received, better remembered, and exude greater credibility and prestige. If you wish to establish a major Internet presence with an easy to remember domain name (such as www.acesofjax.com), ACES will help you select and register your personalized domain name. 18,000 domains are being registered everyday, so get your domain name registered today before it is gone!!
Use of our Secure Server and Digital Secure Certificate
ACES is one of few web hosting companies which extends this service to its clients. This featured service will save you lots of time, money and headaches. This service saves you from buying your own Digital Secure Certificate (Verisign charges $349.00 per year), creation of secure keys for the secure server software and certificate plus setup of secure server software on your virtual server.
CyberCash Support
All hosting packages come CyberCash-ready. First you'll need to establish an account with CyberCash, who acts as the electronic interface between your website and your bank. The CyberCash system checks your customers' credit cards for validity, sufficient credit, etc., then approves or rejects each accordingly. CyberCash then provides the means by which funds are automatically deposited into your bank account.
Web Site Activity and Traffic Reports
We monitor the activity of your web site and give you periodic web site traffic reports detailing how many people have accessed your web site. These traffic reports include the total number of visitors, average page viewing time and click-through rates on banner advertisements. This information will help determine which pages are being visited the most and which pages need more frequent updates or improved content.
POP E-mail Accounts, E-mail Forwarding & Aliasing
Receive 2 POP email accounts, which may be accessed by two separate users with their own passwords.
In addition to the POP email accounts, ACES provides unlimited email forwarding and/or aliasing. Here's how it works: suppose your online venture requires two different email addresses for two different departments. They might be "info@yourcompany.com," and "webmaster@yourcompany.com." ACES will have email sent to anyone at your domain automatically (and seamlessly) forwarded to the email address of your choice (either your ACES POP account or any other email address you may possess through your dialup access provider).
Email Autoresponders
One FREE Autoresponder, included with all hosting packages, allows website owners to have frequently asked questions (or frequently requested information) automatically answered by email. This eliminates the need to constantly re-type and mail the same answers to redundant questions. Auto-responders are used much in the same way as a recorded message is used via telephone, and as fax-back systems are used in facsimile transmission systems.
Password-protected Directories
This feature enables websites to have restricted areas, accessible only by entering the correct password.
Active Server Pages are an open, compile-free application environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts, and reusable ActiveX server components to create dynamic and powerful Web-based business solutions. Active Server Pages enables server-side scripting for Internet Information Server (IIS) with native support for both VBScript and JScript.

Server Side Includes
SSI or Server side includes, allow the server to parse special page commands. As example if you had a footer you wanted on all your pages that may change from time to time, you can create a text file with the desired footer and place it in your domain. On each page you put a simple include to read that file and place it at the bottom of the desired pages.
MS Access Database Integration
This premium feature is available on our NT server. After you sign up for a Data Source Name, we will create a system DSN that maps to the .mdb file you specify. You can then use ASP scripts or EXE files to call your database.
