Our Linux Do-it-Yourself VPS and Dedicated hosting plans do have SSH and Telnet available.

If you chose a managed plan that includes FTP access, the website files can be uploaded by using the FTP information emailed to you after we completed your hosting setup. You should use an FTP client to perform this operation.
If you chose a managed plan that does not include FTP access, a Webservio engineer will setup your Web site for you.
If you have a Do-It-Yourself plan, you can use the Web-based control panel or create FTP access to upload your site files.

Yes, our Windows servers support ASP on selected plans.
|
Yes. Many of our plans come with MySQL databases included. However, in some of the plans, a one-time setup fee of $25 is charged for setting up the database.
|
All of our Linux hosting plans support PHP.
|
|
ColdFusion can be added on to your shared Windows hosting account for an extra fee of $5 per month. Please contact [email protected] if you would like to use this option.
Please note that ColdFusion is no longer supported by Microsoft and Webservio recommends moving to .NET for PHP programming for your Web site.

A step down from Dedicated Hosting, a virtual private server provides
space that runs independently of other partitions on the same server,
using some shared resources.
|
Windows hosting requires a license to be purchased from Microsoft to use the operating system. Linux is an open-source operating system that does not have a proprietary license, so Webservio is able to provide Linux hosting at a more affordable price.
|
Your hosting server operating system is dependent upon your Web site programming language. If your Web site is developed in .NET or ColdFusion, or was created in Front Page, Expression Web or Visual Basic, you require Windows hosting. Most other Web sites are Linux compatible.

FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests,
FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a network, such as
the Internet. You can use FTP to exchange files between
computer accounts, to transfer files between an account and a desktop
computer, or to access software archives on the Internet.
Graphical FTP clients
Using graphical FTP clients simplifies file transfers by allowing you
to drag and drop file icons between windows. When you open the
program (such as FileZilla or SmartFtP), enter the name of the FTP host (e.g.,
ftp.domain.com) and your username and password.
Web browser
You can use a web browser to connect to FTP addresses exactly as you
would to connect to HTTP addresses. Using a web browser
for FTP transfers makes it easy for you to browse large directories
and read and retrieve files. Your web browser will also take care of
some of the details of connecting to a site and transferring
files. While this method is convenient, web browsers are often slower
and less reliable and have fewer features than dedicated FTP clients.
Note: Due to a security issue, Webservio does
not recommend using Internet Explorer to connect via
FTP.
To use your web browser to connect to an FTP site such as
ftp.domain.com, where you normally enter
a URL, enter:
ftp://[email protected]/
Note: Firefox has an addon called FireFTP that must be installed in your Firefox Web browser to use FTP. For more information, please go here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684/
