Service | Description
Analog Web/FTP Log Analyzer | Measures the usage traffic on your Web and FTP servers. Analog Web/FTP Log Analyzer compiles statistics about which Web pages are most popular, which countries people are visiting from, which Web site visitors tried to follow broken links from, and other such information.
Apache 2.0 Web Server | Responds to Web browser requests.
DNS (if available) | Translates domain names into IP addresses. DNS is a distributed database that performs name translations. To manage this information effectively, DNS has a distributed architecture, composed of many DNS servers in a hierarchical fashion. Each server is responsible for both name-to-IP-address and IP-address-to-name translations.
Email | Routes outgoing and incoming mail using SMTP. Sendmail is an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) mail server that routes SMTP email messages through the Internet to be stored on a mail server. SMTP is the most common email protocol on the Internet. Sendmail also enables management of email features, such as email aliases, responders, and spam filters.
FTP | Transfers files over the Internet. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to transfer files across the Internet. Anonymous FTP allows you to use an FTP site without a password and without creating a user account. Note: Anonymous FTP is supported only in Pro.
Ignite | Ignite is a suite of Web services that provide cutting-edge business solutions to help enhance your business. Services include email marketing solutions to help you market your product and services, search engine optimization services to help you promote your Web site, and payment systems and site authentication services for your ecommerce business.
Mailing Lists (Majordomo) (if available) | Manages mailing lists. Mailing lists are commonly used to circulate topic discussions. A mailing list includes a set of list members. Whenever a list member posts an email message to the mailing list email address, that email message is distributed to all list members.
MailScanner | Email scanning service that scans incoming and outgoing emails for viruses.
Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions | Allows you to support customers who want to use Microsoft FrontPage to manage their Web sites. You can access FrontPage administration Web pages, as the Site Administrator, from the Web Server Manager (of the control panel).
Miva Merchant | Provides e-commerce support for domains. Miva Merchant enables you to create multiple online storefronts and support e-commerce on a domain.
Modperl for Apache | Enables you to process and write CGI scripts. Modperl uses Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) to process text and enable the user to write CGI scripts. Perl is an interpretive programming language, making it ideal for building and testing simple programs.
MySQL | Allows you to work with your SQL databases. MySQL is a widely used relational database management system for SQL databases. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than in one big table. A database management system allows you to add, access, and process data stored in a SQL database. In the control panel, you can use phpMyAdmin to set up, configure, and view your databases.
OpenSSH Secure Shell | Provides secure remote access to another system over a network. SSH allows the user to log on remotely and move files from one system to another in a secure environment. SSH can be a replacement for telnet access.
OpenSSL Secure Web | Provides secure Web pages. SSL is a protocol that transmits private documents through the Internet. It creates a secure connection between a client and a server over which any amount of data can be sent securely. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data transferred over the SSL connection. You can secure a domain through the Web Server Manager (of the control panel).
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor for Apache | Creates dynamic Web pages. PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. Because it is compatible with networks using IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or HTTP, it can easily manage dynamic Web page content.
phpMyAdmin Web Based MySQL Administration | Allows you to manage your SQL databases over the Internet. phpMyAdmin can handle administering entire MySQL database servers or just a single database over the Internet by removing any platform-specific limitations.
POP3 + IMAP Server | Processes incoming mail. POP3 (Post Office Protocol, version 3) and IMAP (Internet Messaging Access Protocol) mail servers store incoming email messages until users download them to their computers. In addition to storing incoming email messages, the IMAP server allows users to archive email messages in folders, share mailboxes with other users, access multiple mail servers at one time, and more efficiently access email attachments. Both POP and IMAP mail servers accept SMTP-formatted email messages.
Power Tools | Enables customers to install and use off-the-shelf Web applications through the Site Administrator control panel. Power Tools are used to provide e-commerce, content management, forums, chat, and other dynamic features of Web sites.
Python | Enables you to write system utility programs and scripts. Python is a popular, object-oriented, interpretive scripting language used for writing system utilities and Internet scripts.
Spam Filtering | Email scanning service that scans emails for spam and enables user level control and management of spam.
Squirrel Mail Web-based Email | Provides Web-based access to email accounts. Squirrel Mail is an email client that uses IMAP to provide your email account users with access to their email messages directly on the Internet.
Telnet | Provides remote access to another system over a network. Telnet is a common terminal emulation protocol that connects computers locally or across the Internet. It allows a user at a local computer to log onto a remote computer and run a program.
Vacation Autoresponder | Automatically responds to incoming email messages with a predetermined response. Vacation Autoresponder creates automated email responses that replies to incoming email messages during times when the user is not available to check and reply to email messages. This feature is most commonly used when a user intends to be unavailable for an extended period of time.
Clam AntiVirus | Interfaces with the MailScanner to integrate with the mail server for scanning incoming and outgoing emails for viruses.
Webalizer Log Analyzer | Webalizer is a free web server log file analysis tool. Webalizer generates usage statistics for Web and FTP servers in easily comprehensible graphical or tabular formats. The logs generated are a statistical encapsulation of user traffic on your server and can be viewed in HTML format.
