    Question: What is meant by unmetered traffic?

    Answer: It means that no matter how many thousands of hits your page encounters, you don't incur any additional charges. We offer you a flat rate storage fee per month that does not change based on data transfer or access.

    Question: How long will it be before my account is active?

    Answer: If you have obtained a non-virtual account, then your home directory on our server will be set up within 24 hours of your account initiation. However, if you have obtained a virtual account, it will take 1 to 2 weeks for Internic to register your domain and make it available to the rest of the world if it is a .COM domain, and possibly longer for .NET and .ORG domains. Upon completion, Internic will respond to us via e-mail, and we will notify you immediately.

    Question: How does my home page get loaded when my site is visited?

    Answer: By naming your home page "index.htm", "index.html", "home.htm", or "home.html", our server will look for and automatically load your page when your URL is visited. Otherwise it must be included as part of the URL.

    Question: Is CGI scripting supported?

    Answer: The server is capable of running CGI scripts written in Perl, Unix Shell, "C", "C++", and Java. In order to use your scripts, you will need to place them in the /cgi-bin/ subdirectory of your account. It is important to note that the scripts should be transferred to the server in ASCII mode rather than binary in order to properly manage (CR) characters that are problematic for Unix scripts. As well, the mode of the file needs to be changed to 755 by issuing chmod 755 scriptname on the script in question once it has been placed on the server.
