Linux Shared Control Panel Based Do-It-Yourself Hosting

If your organization's IT Department and/or Webmaster wish to perform maintenance, administrative functions, and updates for your hosted applications, control panel hosting is better suited to meet your needs. Webservio offers control panel based hosting for both Windows and Linux platforms.

Exclusive Linux Platform Features

MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user, SQL (Structured Query Language) relational database server. If the hosting package that you have purchased includes MySQL Database(s) then you get 100 Database Users per Database that you have purchased, and the ability to do the following from your hosting control panel, using the Database Manager section:

• Add/Delete MySQL Databases
• Resrict Access to the database from a set if IP Addresses/Hosts
• Add multiple database users for a single database
• Define granular level database access policy on a per user basis. You can decide which privileges a user should be given from Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Create, Drop, Grant, Reference, Index, Alter Privileges.
• Change passwords
• Suspend/unsuspend access of database users
• One-click access to pHpMyAdmin - a web-based tool for administering your MySQL database that allows you to create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, etc.

The Website Speed Booster, as of this writing, is a feature unique to our hosting control panels ONLY. It automatically enhances the speed of your website by upto 20x times and more. This tool works by compressing the content delivered to the client when it is sent across the network. It uses the browsers ability to uncompress this data seamlessly. The tool does not require any changes in website code nor does it require any additional software on the client. All browsers starting from Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape 4.06, Opera 5, Lynx 2.6 support this feature. Our solution will simply not compress the data if the visitor has a non-compliant browser.

• Using the control panel, you can boost the speed of all of the following:
  
  • all static pages (html, js, css files, etc.)
  • all dynamic pages (php, perl, cgi, python, etc.)
  • all images and downloadables (gif, jpg, png, doc, pdf, xls, etc.)

This option is another feature unique to our hosting control panels ONLY - it attempts to automatically correct misspellings of URLs that users might have entered, by ignoring capitalization and by allowing up to one misspelling (character insertion/omission/transposition or wrong character). Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the web server because the request was misspelled or miscapitalized. This option addresses the problem by trying to find a matching document. It does its work by comparing each document name in the requested directory against the requested document name without regard to case, and allowing misspellings. A list is built with all document names which were matched using this strategy.

• If after scanning the directory:
  
  • no matching document was found, the server will proceed as usual and return a "document not found" error
  • only one document is found that "almost" matches the request, it is returned in the form of a redirection response
  • more than one document with a close match was found, then the list of the matches is returned to the client who can then select the correct candidate

Another feature exclusive to our control panels - the Direct Download Manager helps you save several hours of your valuable time by allowing you to download files to your web space directly from another server via a HTTP URL or FTP URL. If you need to transfer large files to your web space that are already available on some other server, then you would typically have to download these files locally to your desktop and re-upload them. All of this could take up quite some time depending on the file size and your internet connection speed. However, using the server-to-server transfer facility provided by the Direct Download Manager you can utilize the server's high speed connection to directly download large files, so, even if you are connected to the Internet via a dial-up connection, file transfers will occur at the very high speeds.

This feature is most useful when you are transferring your website date from your previous web hosting provider, as you could just zip up your whole website and instead of downloading it locally to your desktop, directly download it on the server and unzip it there.
