Every web site on the
Internet needs a warm and cozy place to live.
That's OregonNet's job. Your web site will
live in comfort and style on our web server.
Regardless of which plan you choose, your site will
have plenty of space to do what you need it to do.
If you like, we can help register your own domain name which will
become your unique address on the World Wide Web. Having your
own domain name gives the impression that you have your own web
server in house, telling the world that you are a force to be reckoned
with!
Yes we do! We offer complete
dial up access for the Eugene and
Springfield areas. Keep in mind, we're still dedicated to your web
site's comfort and care. By offering dial-up Internet access and also
web hosting services, we are able to provide you with complete a
Internet solution! We strive and focus our energy on giving your
web site a solid, reliable connection to the Internet while maintaining
a state-of-the-art Internet dial-up system. Please contact us today
to begin enjoying our lightenting fast servers and unparalelled
customer service.
Well, we do not offer
web design services, but our partner in crime
EliteNet (who designed our site by the way, isn't it nice?) would be
happy to assist you with any and all of your web design needs.
Of course! You can use the
Domain name availability check.
Of course we do. We will
contact the InterNIC once we receive your
signup information to request either a new domain name registration or
transfer. Now, if you ask us to take care of this for you, don't you go
and do it yourself. You'll only confuse those poor boys at the InterNIC
and slow the whole thing down.
The InterNIC charges $70
to register a new domain name. You may
think that's rude, but that's what they do. This fee covers the first two
years. Then they bill at a rate of $35 per year for each year thereafter.
The InterNIC will send you an invoice via postal mail or email between
3 weeks to 1-1/2 months after the domain is registered.
Once the InterNIC
announces that your domain name has been
registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72 hours
before it is accessible from anywhere on the Internet. All Internet
providers must update their records to reflect new site locations.
There's a fun little
tool that transfers files to the web server. It's called
FTP software or File Transport Protocol. To help you out, click here to download FTP.
Orders will be processed
within 24 hours of payment. Once an account
is set up an activation notice will be sent you via email including a userid,
password, and FTP hostname. Complete instructions for using your new
account will be provided in this email.
You can upgrade from
plans by sending your request to
domains@oregonnet.com. There is no fee to upgrade from Standard to
Advanced, however, to upgrade from the Basic package to either
Standard or Advanced there is a one-time fee of $14.95.
We encourage you to
email us with any problems or questions you have
about your web site. We are quick to respond to support email 8-6 pm
PST on weekdays. If you've got a question, and you can't find the answer
here, please contact us. We can't answer your questions if we don't
know what they are!
Yes. You can place an
order or via our online order form and be sure to
specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You
should keep the service at the present site while waiting for InterNIC to
complete the transfer. Once the InterNIC has notified you of the hosting
transfer, you should contact us using the Help Form and we will
complete your account setup.
Of course! Our
servers are always available. You have unlimited access
via FTP 24-hours a day. You can create and maintain your web pages
on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.
We want your web site to
have plenty of room to grow like a little
weed. Our experience tells us that 1000MB/month will be more than
enough bandwidth for the average web site. Depending on the quantity
and sizes of your files, this could support many thousands of hits per
month. If you've got a site that's just too big for its britches, our
Advanced Plan accommodates 2000 MB of data transfer.
Yes, you can use your
account for commercial purposes. The World
Wide Web has become a most efficient and cost-effective means of
making information available to the users of the Internet community.
If desired, secure processing is included in the Standard and Advanced
Hosting packages. That way, your products can be selling themselves
24 hours per day.
Adding a bit of security
to your site to make credit card ordering safe is
an easy process. First, you need to get yourself a Digital ID from
VeriSign. To get a digital ID, you'll need our help. Send us a message
using the Help Form and we'll be happy to get you squared away. Digital
IDs (also known as digital certificates) play a key role in establishing
confidence that electronic transactions are secure and trusted. VeriSign,
Inc. is the leading provider of digital authentication services and products
for electronic commerce and other forms of secure communications.
Digital IDs enable trusted electronic commerce by authenticating the
individuals, organizations, and content involved in electronic transactions.
A Shopping Cart
Application allows you to set up shop and start selling
your stuff on the Internet. Our Shopping Cart Application even lets you
set up the entire store without programming a thing, Just fill in the blanks
in your administration section and off you go! For more detailedinformation
about Shopping Carts, check this out.
Sorry, no can do.
We respect and encourage free speech, however,
with all the hullaballo around the Communications Decency Act, we're
not willing to take that legal chance at this time. Not to mention how fast
bandwidth evaporates when a server is home to an adult web site!
Along the same lines, we also do not allow any Warez content, or any
other content that may infringe on someone else's copyright. It's just not
nice. If you need any other info about what's naughty and nice on
OregonNet.com check out our policies.
We are pleased to have
customers around the world and we're as
close as your computer. We only ask our non-US friends to please
make payments in US dollars. It's just easier for us that way.
Microsoft FrontPage is a
popular WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)
web publishing software package. It frees you from having to learn HTML
by allowing you to create a page in much the same way you would
create a document in a desktop publishing environment.
If you are a current OregonNet Web Hosting customer and need more
information and help with using Microsoft FrontPage, email us at support@oregonnet.com.
PHP is a powerful
server side programming language for the
Internet which allows the creation of customized interactive web sites.
PHP gives you the tools to build dynamic web sites that allow real
time interaction between the user and the data being presented.
For security reasons
Microsoft FrontPage is not offered to those in the
OregonNet Web Hosting family who use the basic account. If you are a
basic customer and would like to take advantage of the flexibility of
FrontPage, you will need to upgrade to the Standard or Advanced
hosting. Just contact us and we'll get you all set up.
OregonNet Web Hosting
has a reseller program for web developers and
others interested in providing web hosting for their clients. Please check
out our reseller program information for more details.
Most definitely! We use
the leading statistics software to deliver useful
information to you about what works, and doesn't, on your website. Our
software generates a weekly report with really spiffy graphics and tables
chock full of data you can use to build a better website. Click here if
you'd like to see an example of what your site statistics could look like.
ColdFusion adds the
power of databases to your website. With this
product, you can create interactivity between your web site and
something complex like your company's product ordering database or
something personal like your database of favorite movies you've
reviewed. Or, in the words of ColdFusion's maker, Allaire Corporation:
"ColdFusion gives developers the fastest way to build and deploy a
new generation of business software for everything from electronic
commerce to interactive publishing to business process automation."
If you are currently a OregonNet Web Hosting customer and need more
information and help with using ColdFusion, email us at support@oregonnet.com.
Active Server Pages are
another way to add interactivity to your web
site. It allows for some of the same connectivity as ColdFusion to tie
your web pages into the data stored in databases. Here's the scoop
straight from Microsoft:
"ASP runs as a service of the Web server and is optimized for multiple
threads and multiple users. This means that it's fast, and it's easy to
implement. If you use ASP, you can separate the design of your Web
page from the nitty-gritty details of programming access to databases
and applications. This frees up the programmer to do what she does
best--code like crazy--and, conversely, frees the designer to worry
about just the design rather than the database."
If you are currently a OregonNet Web Hosting customer and need more
information and help with using Active Server Pages, check out our
support area!
Yes you can! Our
Advanced package receives one listserver for free.
To add another listserver to the Advanced or Standard packages, there
is a one-time fee of $14.95 per list. Sorry, but for those of you
subscribing to the Basic plan, you'll have to say "Please," then upgrade
to the Standard or Advanced package before you'll be able to add a
listserver.
We don't want to pester
you with monthly bills. We bill at quarterly
increments and require a minimum three month contract. We accept
MasterCard and Visa as well as personal, business checks and money
orders.
