Unrestricted Bandwidth is getting harder and harder to find on the Internet unless you go with a dedicated server solution. The majority of hosts restrict the ways you can utilize this bandwidth. Successful Hosting does not restrict the bandwidth that comes with your account! You may use your bandwidth for archives, zip files, unlinked documents etc. No need to search for the hidden print or the ridiculous rules for bandwidth because there isn't any at Successful Hosting!
Back to topRegister any available domain name with us for only $14.99 per year - right from your H-sphere Control Panel!
Successful Hosting can host any international domain (such as www.yourdomain.co.uk, etc.)
A domain alias is an additional domain name pointing to the same place as the main domain for your account. A domain alias can be used for accessing your website and as a email alias, or with its own separate email setup. You can register additional domain names and have them all point to your web site; for example, you could have yourcompany.com, your-product.com and yourcompany.net all pointing to the same web site.
Sub-Domains are popular for hosting unique content at a URL similar to "http://whatever.yourowndomain.com/". Sub-domains support "real-time activation" and can be setup and installed within minutes. No DNS modification is required. Your sub domain points to its own directory and has its own mail resources as well. Sub domain names can be anything you want. Some examples: "mail.", "sales.", "marketing.", "resume.", "mykids.", "products.", "anything.".
A parked domain allows you to direct a domain at any IP address you specify. Along with Custom DNS records, this allows you full featured DNS-only option for your extra domains.

This feature allows your server to regard files with a specific extension as map files.

SuccessfulHosting offers the secure form of telnet known as SSH for it's hosting packages. This allows us to provide extra security to our web servers, which in turn provides our clients with the best possible performance.
This tool allows you to 'throttle' the use of traffic in your account by delaying or refusing requests to your sites.
The Redirect URL option allows you to change the file that appears when a user enters a specific file's web address. Example: There are a number of old URLs for your site's home page that are no longer current, yet people still use them. You don?t really want people going to those old URLs because either an outdated page will display or they?ll get an error. Set up redirection for these old URLs, so that when users enter them into their web browsers, the file at your current URL displays instead.
The Web Shell/File Manager program is a robust tool that can be used for a variety of functions. It can be used as an FTP Agent, a file organizer, a rich text, and CGI editor or especially useful for password protecting directories.

Are you sick and tired of spam email? We include SpamAssassin spam protection with every hosting account. SpamAssassin allows you to trace, filter out and delete spam messages coming to your mailbox. When you enable SpamAssassin for a mailbox, you can use SpamAssassin preferences configured for a mail domain or configure it individually for a specific mailbox. The system doesn't delete messages recognized as spam. It only marks them as spam and delivers them in a regular way. You can set your mail program to move these emails into a separate directory for later review or you can delete them.
Have you ever gotten spam from yourself? I have, and I've been thinking hard about how to stop it! I didn't send it. It came from a spammer. If we could stop spammers from forging mail, we could easily tell spam from ham and block the bad stuff.SPF makes it easy for a domain, whether it's an ISP, a business, a school or a vanity domain, to say, "I only send mail from these machines. If any other machine claims that I'm sending mail from there, they're lying."
Every email user has access to a secure web based email system that permits sending and receiving email directly over the web. This feature is great for email users who are traveling or are in remote locations. The SuccessfulHosting Webmail system includes Horde IMP, SQWebmail, and @mail.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a protocol for sending email messages between servers over the Internet. SMTP access allows you to send email through your server. We use the Qmail SMTP server.
Many email clients, such as Outlook Express, can be used with POP3. POP3 is a type of email that transfers messages directly onto your computer at home or work. After you download your email, messages are erased from our mail server and saved on your local computer. POP3 email typically downloads messages faster than IMAP email, because the mail server doesn't have to check as many messages. Our POP3 server is powered by qmail and Inter7's vpopmail software.
IMAP is a type of email that allows you to store and file email messages in different folders on the server. Unlike POP, IMAP Email does not permanently download messages onto your computer at home or work, they are stored on the server for easy access from anywhere. IMAP is ideal for people who need comprehensive email access and functionality from more than one location. To access your email, you can easily log on from any computer hooked up to the Internet. Our mail server utilizes Courier-IMAP.
If you utilize the Domain Alias feature, then you will find the Mail Domain Alias feature beneficial. The Mail Domain Alias allows you to setup mailboxes that are available from multiple domains. For example, user@domain1.com may be your primary mailbox, but with the Mail domain Alias feature, you can make user@domain2.com also deliver mail to that same mailbox, seamlessly.
Email forwards enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific email account. For example, you can set up the email account sales@yourdomain.com to forward all messages to any email account, for example you@yahoo.com. These forwards can be added or deleted at any time.
Email aliases enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific POP email account. For example, you can set up the email alias sales@yourdomain.com to direct all messages to your account you@yourdomain.com. These aliases can be added or deleted at any time.
Mailing lists act similar to forwards with the only difference that they offer wider possibilites such as independent end user subscribtion, message and subscription moderation, archivation and much more. The mailing list solution available in ou H-sphere control panel uses the popular EZMLM/IDX software. For comprehensive information on EZMLM, see the EZMLM website.
Site owners can precisely control the amount of disk space allowed by each email user inside the Successful Hosting H-sphere Control panel. This feature helps prevent email hungry users from "hogging" disk resources and interfering with other aspects of your website.

Microsoft SQL Server
One of the easiest ways to administer your MSSQL databases is using the software we offer called ASP.NET SQL Manager. The SQL Manager is a set of ASP.NET scripts that allow you to easily create, modify, and drop tables as well as execute, select, update, delete, and add queries. Simply login to the Successfu lHosting hosting H-sphere control panel and select MSSQL Manager from the web options screen (Please note that you have to activate .NET to use MSSQL Manager).
To make it easier for developers to connect an ASP application to a database, the system administrator can add a system data source name (DSN) to the ASP Server. DSNs store information about a database that the ASP Server and ODBC Manager use for connecting to it. Developers can use the system DSN in connection strings on ASP pages to incorporate database information by reference, rather than specifying the complete set of information in each string.
Access 2003 provides a powerful set of tools that are sophisticated enough for professional developers, yet easy to learn for new users. Create or use powerful database solutions that make organizing, accessing, and sharing information easier than ever. You can upload your access databases right to your root directory.

Anonymous File Transfer Protocol allows the public to log into an FTP server with a common login (usually "ftp" or "anonymous" and any password (usually the person's e-mail address is used as the password). Anonymous FTP is beneficial for the distribution of large files to the public, avoiding the need to assign large numbers of login and password combinations for FTP access.

Back to topHost both Unix and Windows 2003 accounts from one reseller account!
Complete transparency in every aspect allows each Successful Hosting reseller to fulfill their services without the worry of being discovered as a Successful Hosting reseller. All of this is designed so you can concentrate on selling and making money while Successful Hosting does all of the hard technical work behind the scenes. As a reseller, you are free to resell each account under your own brand name and charge your customers whatever you want. This allows you to have the look and feel of your own hosting company. All resellers will be assigned their own private name servers (ns1.resellerdomain.com and ns2.resellerdomain.com). Resellers can have their own H-sphere control panel URL, DNS server names, company information, corporate logos and all other parameters visible from the user's control panel. Resellers appear to end customers as totally independent hosting providers. Furthermore, reseller control panels are inaccessible by IP, which excludes the possibility of accidental or intentional visits to our control panel or website.
Fully automated billing, setup, support, and upgrades. Our Private Label Hosting Reseller software takes care of all stages of customer signup. No longer is it necessary to add each new user to the system - users can complete the registration all by themselves. Billing for Resellers is a completely independent system. Resellers have plan wizards to create plans with their own prices for each individual resource, including setup, recurrent, and extra fees. Resellers can decide to offer trial hosting, create various payment intervals with discounts, offer promotions, debit or credit individual accounts, setup additional fees for additional services, and much more!
Our Private Label Hosting Reseller software automatically performs all charges to your customers' credit cards for the services you offer. All you need to do is choose and configure a merchant gateway. The Merchant Gateway Manager is a configurable H-Sphere add-on that allows you to set up and alter merchant gateways, the media for conducting transactions with online credit card processing centers. The software tracks gateway usage and provides statistical information on the number of transactions and total charges for every particular gateway. You can setup different merchant gateway accounts for different types of credit cards (like VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express). In this way you can maximize your profits by processing every type of credit card with the gateway that offers the lowest rate for this type of card. Over 20 gateways supported, including (but not limited to):AuthorizeNet (ADC Relay), AuthorizeNet (SIM Protocol), Bibit, CyberCash, Echo, Ematic, ePDQ, eWay, InnovativeGateway, InterCept, IonGate, LinkPoint, LinkPoint (API v.3.01), Main Street Softworks, Moneris, NetBilling, NTPNow, Paradata, PayyAndShop, PayGate, Pay-Me-Now, PayReady, Plug'n Pay, Protx, PSiGate, SecurePay, SecurePay.com.au, Secure Trading, SkipJack, ThePayDesk, Tucows, VeriSign Payflow Pro, and VeriSign Payflow Pro with SSL Support.
We charge our resellers by the hosting resource usage and not by hosting resource allocation. This means, for example, if we assign your reseller account 3500 MB of disk space, you can create a hosting plan that gives away 200 MB of disk space and have up to 50 clients (Total allocation: 10000MB). Why? Because we charge you by the amount of space you actually use, not the allocation. So if each client uses 20 MB of disk space, you can have up to 175 clients... totaling 3500 MB of disk space actually being used. If you need more, our hosting resources costs are very low - in this case $0.05 per additional MB disk space usage. The same method applies for bandwidth and the other resources. We only charge for what is actually being used by your clients!
Whenever necessary, our Private Label Hosting Reseller software will e-mail your customers important details. You can also have copies of these e-mails sent to your e-mail account. Notifications are sent when a customer signs up, forgets a password, approaches disk or traffic limit to name just a few instances. Customers can also choose to get all their invoices by e-mail.
Often, you will need to send emails to multiple or all customers e.g: newsletters. The mass mail feature allows to send one customizable message to a some or all of your customers right from your Reseller H-sphere Control Panel.
Your customers H-sphere control panel comes with an integrated support center that allows them to communicate their problems and questions to you or your support staff using a web browser. The knowledgebase was created as a combination of FAQ and search utility, the KnowledgeBase system helps to improve your end user customer support.
