Glossary
Anonymous FTP
Enabling anonymous FTP allows visitors to access your
Web site to upload and/or download files without a unique ID and password. By
controllable anonymous FTP, we are referring to an environment whereby
anonymous access can be limited to specific files and
directories. Available with plan
Autoresponders
You can use an autoresponder to send an automated
response to incoming e-mail sent to a specific address. An autoresponder could
be used to send a standard message to persons addressing info@yourname.com for
example. Included with plan
CGI script support
All customers have access to a personal cgi-local
directory in which you can place your own custom CGI scripts. CGI scripts are
often used to accomplish tasks which are not supported by basic HTML, such as a
"hit" counter or guest book. This directory can be used to set up scripts that
you write or find elsewhere on the Web. We also offer several pre-written
scripts, available free for your use. These include a hit counter, guest book,
mail form, shopping carts, and more! Included with plan
Data Transfer
In general, any outward-bound traffic from a Web site,
with the exception of e-mail, is considered data transfer. For example, each
time a Web page, image, midi file, quicktime video, etc. is loaded, data
transfer is generated. Our ONE PLAN PLUS
includes UNLIMITED data transfer. Included with plan
Disk Storage Space
Disk storage space refers to the amount of server disk
storage specifically allocated to your account. This space is used to store your
html files, graphics, audio clips, POP mail messages, pdfs, and other files that
make up your Web site. Our plan includes a specified allotment of 50 Mb of disk
storage space, but additional space can be purchased for any account in 5 MB
blocks, at a cost of $1/MB per month. Included with plan
Domain Name Registration
Innovative Minds offers virtual domain Web hosting
accounts which means you can have your own Web address or "domain name" (eg:
www.yourname.com). We can handle U.S. domain name registration or transfers on
your behalf. (ie: .com, .net, .org, etc.). Network Solutions charges $35 to register
a domain name which covers the first year. They currently bill at a rate of
$35 per year thereafter. Included with plan
FrontPage
We can install Microsoft FrontPage extensions for your
account for FREE. This allows you to use Microsoft FrontPage to create and
maintain your Web site. You may request that FrontPage extensions be installed
within your Web site when placing your order, or you may request them at a later
date by contacting our support department. We support FrontPage 2000. Available with

FTP Access
You will have unlimited access to your account via FTP
24-hours a day to set up and maintain your Web site. You can work on HTML
documents, graphics, and scripts locally, then upload files to your Web site
when ready. Included with plan
Mail Forwarding
Once your domain name is active worldwide, you can
receive all e-mail addressed to your domain such as webmaster@yourname.com,
sales@yourname.com, etc. For convenience, specific mail forwarding options are
available if you need specific addresses each to be forwarded to different
addresses on the Internet. For example, e-mail addressed to
webmaster@yourname.com could forward to an account at AOL, while
sales@yourname.com could forward to a Prodigy account. Included with
plan
Mailing Lists
This feature allows you to create a
mailing list with a simple text file of addresses. Included with plan
POP Accounts
In addition to mail forwarding, users have the option to
retrieve e-mail directly from POP3 mailboxes on the mail server using an e-mail
program such as Eudora and Microsoft Outlook. Our plan includes a Master POP
account which can receive all e-mail and control the settings for any optional
configurable POP accounts. Additional POPs can be assigned unique IDs and
passwords to ensure privacy. You can also purchase additional POPs if
needed. Included with plan

Shopping Cart
A Shopping Cart program allows you to implement your own
on-line storefront. The shopping cart keeps track of what visitors have ordered
and allows them to add or remove items from a 'virtual shopping cart'. When a
visitor decides to check-out, the order information, including the buyer's name,
address and billing instruction is e-mailed to the site Webmaster and a receipt
is sent to the shopper. Our ONE PLAN PLUS includes two pre-written Shopping Cart script that you can customize
for your use. A demonstration and extensive documentation are available.

SSL Secure Server
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) allows users to collect data,
such as credit card information, in a secure

encrypted mode. This is the only way to go with credit card transactions. Your
buyer will have peace of mind when they see the security mode activated on your
online order form. Available with plan
