Virtual Hosting at Cucin.Net offers you an immediately effective and economical Point of Presence on the Internet.

Home Page

   Virtual Hosting at Cucin.Net means your company has its own unique presence on the Internet.

Why Virtual Hosting?

    Customers will find you faster. Let's face it, searching for information on the Internet is tough and, if your customers have to type some cryptic address to locate your home page, you've just made it even tougher. With Virtual Hosting, your company name is most often times incorporated into your address, making it much easier for your customers to remember and find you faster. Because your company name is most often times incorporated into your address, your business cards and company letterhead look more professional.

    Gives you a unique Internet presence.

    It's portable. If you move, you can simply move your e-mail and web pages to another provider (assuming they do virtual hosting) without having to change your e-mail/web address.

Details

    Do you currently have a registered domain name? If so, we charge a $50 transfer fee to move it from your current provider. If not, we'll handle the registration details for $120. This is good for two years and includes all registration fees.

     You will have unlimited FTP access to update your 10 Mbytes of website storage on the internet through your current internet provider. At present we do not provide remote dial-up access. Additional storage can be purchased for $5/month for each additional 10Mbytes.

Making It All Work

    E-mail: You will wish to make some changes in your mailer for the "from:" field of the mail messages to reflect your virtual hosting rather than the default mail host. The following example is for Eudora, but should work for most mail programs:

    In Eudora, select SPECIAL, then SETTINGS Select Getting Started, then enter your new e-mail address in the POP account field. Select Personal Information, then enter your new e-mail address in the Return address field.

    Also, check WIN_VN, Mosaic, Agent, Netscape, MacWeb, etc. Many programs have configuration menus which contain your E-mail address. You should change all to reflect your own address. If you forget, the mail will still show up, but it will be addressed to "username@cucin.net" instead of "username@yourcompany.com".

    After making these changes, send mail to yourself at "username@yourcompany.com". Look at the header and make sure that the From: and To: fields are correct.

    If you prefer or at times reqire a browser interface to retrieve your mail, you can do so from http://cucin.net/mailman. A web password, which must be diffrent from your shell password, will be provided upon request since browsers are notoriously unreliable for following no-cache requests.

    Dial-in: Do NOT change your dialer program, e.g. Trumpet Winsock, Dial-Up Networking, Config PPP, etc. "yourcompany.com" should NOT appear anywhere in your dialer setup.

    Web Page: The URL of your home page is http://www.yourcompany.com, if you don't have a home page, references to "www.yourcompany.com" will bring up Cucin.Net's home page. If/when you get a home page let us know. If you don't want "www.yourcompany.com" to display Cucin.net or you encounter any problems let us know. We reserve the right to display non-prurient advertising until your account is fully activated.

    Assistance is available for an additional fee to assist you with design of your web site and setting it up for E-commerce. Assistance is also available to assist you with specific scripting or database needs with charges based upon an incident/project pricing. Any scripts need be preapproved and may not be run from home directories.

    FTP: If you have a FTP site, ftp.yourcompany.com will refer to the computer where your site is located. Your clients must supply the appropriate username/password to gain access. Otherwise you will have a Virtual Anonymous FTP site to the Cucin.net archives and you should let us know what directory you would like your Anonymous FTP site "attached" to. Once this is set, visitors need not supply a username and password to gain access.
