What if the server my website
is on gets hacked or attacked?
Individually hacked websites are rare. If such occurs, usually
they are a target for a reason; hate sites, pirated software, etc...
Itexo Corporation does not host such websites. If such materal
is found on a Itexo Corporation server, it is deleted immediately
and the user's account cancelled. Usually the target is the whole
server itself. Hackers usually go after a server just to say that "they
did", or to use the server to bounce off of to hack something more
important. Rarely are any users' files on the server damaged, erased,
or modified. For this reason, once a hacker is detected, a server
can usually be cleaned up and the hacker locked back out within
a matter of hours. At that time the server is restored to full
security levels, as if the hack has never occurred. Most hackers
get into a system thru valid user accounts. We recommend you use
complicated passwords for your account. Itexo Corporation
strictly reviews all orders for new clients, to make sure they
are legitimate. Unfortunately, some fake orders do get thru the
system, and that is one way a hacker can gain initial access. Itexo
Corporation runs security checks on the servers daily, so even
if a hacker does get in, they are found and dealt with quickly.
Most hackers are not malicious, they are just playing or testing
their abilities. If an individual attacks the whole Itexo
Corporation Data Center, measures are in place to cut off such
floods and attacks automatically at the backbone level and the
router level. Itexo Corporation also uses firewall technology
to fend off most common methods of flooding and attacks to the
network.
How is extra bandwidth
billed?
Itexo Corporation maintains software on every server and on
the switches to monitor individual website usage and server-wide
usage. Bandwidth is billed per Gigabyte (GB) over your monthly
allocation, rounded up to the nearest Gigabyte. Usually between
the 3rd and 5th of the month you will receive your bandwidth overage
billing, if applicable, for the preceding month's usage.
What is included in my
website package?
Itexo Corporation provides full hardware, software, support,
and system administration for your Itexo Corporation shared
hosting solution. The software provided includes the operating
system, ftp & email software, web server software, and a control
panel. Itexo Corporation even includes free e-commerce shopping
cart software. Everything you need to conduct business on the Internet,
or maintain a personal website, is included in your Itexo
Corporation hosting solution. Itexo Corporation will provide
basic support on services/software that we provide you with your
account. Itexo Corporation does not develop your website for
you, nor provide tech support on how to use software products that
we do not provide to your directly...even if we do support them.
We are always more than willing to help you if we can though with
external issues, time permitting...
How many sites are currently
running on per server?
Itexo Corporation does not have a set quantity of domains
running on each machine. We find that ten domains can utilize more
resources than 200 others. Itexo Corporation monitors each
server's performance levels and attempts to maintain a low server
load average and high cpu availability. As needed, Itexo Corporation
will upgrade the hardware, to increase server performance. Individual
domains that become to much for the server to handle, and utilize
too much server resources, are moved to servers set up specifically
for such resource intensive accounts.
Can I host more than one
domain name per account?
Itexo Corporation charges additional fees for every EXTRA
(some are included for free) domain name you point to your account.
For a domain name that is parked on top of your main domain name,
the cost is a $15 one time setup fee. You may use an index.cgi
script, to redirect from that domain name to a sub-directory at
no additional charge. Itexo Corporation charges a $15 setup
fee and $3/mo, for every additional domain name parked to a sub-directory.
Each additional domain name parked on top, or to a sub-directory,
receives one catch-all email POP account or forwarder for all mail
to that domain name. Parked domain names do not receive a control
panel of their own. Itexo Corporation usually recommends the
very inexpensive "Small" accounts ($4.95 monthly) instead, due
to the fact that they come with their own control panel functionality
or the best solution is to signup for reseller plan and setup as
much standalone domains as you need.
Why should I choose Itexo
Corporation as my webhost?
Simple. Itexo Corporation maintains one of the most feature
