Hosted on Top-Quality Servers

We use Silicon Graphics servers and Netscape Enterprise Server software which has won more awards than any other server product. Our Network is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, resulting in almost zero downtime.

Highest Bandwidth Facility

Our hosting services are on the highest bandwidth facility of its kind in the world! We are connected to a "GIGA-CENTER" in Silicon Valley, California. This Server Center has Over 1 Giga Bits per Second (1070 MBPS!) Bandwidth coming out of it to the rest of the Internet. This is the equivalent of 24 T-3 lines or 714 T-1 lines. See the Backbone Map.

Autoresponders

An auto responder will send an automatic reply back to the sender. So, when your customer sends email to 'sales@yourname.com', your email server will send an email back to your customers automatically, containing the text you specify. It also sends the message to you, so you can respond if it looks like you need to. And again, unlike most of our competition, it’s included in the monthly fee.

CyberCash

We provide CyberCash support which enables you to securely process credit card transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Unlimited Data Transfer

Every time a web page, image, midi file, video, etc. is loaded, data transfer is generated. We include an unlimited amount of data transfer in the monthly hosting fee.

Hard Drive Space

	Hard Drive space refers to the amount of server hard drive storage specifically given to your account. This space is used to store the files that make up your web site. Each of our plans includes a fixed storage amount.

Domain Name Registration

ICIR offers Domain Web hosting accounts which means you can have your own Web address or "domain name" (i.e. www.yourdomainname.com). You will be able to access your site directly rather than being under the domain of someone else. We can handle U.S. domain name registration or transfers on your behalf. (ie: .com, .net, .org, etc.). ICIR can also serve non-U.S. domain names as well. You can also have additional domain names point to your account for a small additional charge.

Real Audio^tm

Real Audio enables you to provide news, entertainment, sports and business content delivered via audio-based streaming multimedia content through the Internet to audiences worldwide. You can utilize Real Audio on your site and it's included in the monthly hosting fee.

Electronic Commerce

We offer secured electronic credit card transactions and virtual storefront accounts with a Virtual Shopping Cart, so that you can have your own online storefront to reach millions world-wide.

Secure Server Access

We provide full SSL secure server access at nominal charge to you! By using our server’s certificate, you save hundreds of dollars because you don’t need a certificate of your own. We are happy to say that we are one of the few hosting companies that offers a secure Netscape Enterprise Server for transferring credit-card information at nominal cost. You can make special forms to ensure security and provide your clients with safe online ordering.

World Wide Co-Host Program

We plan to have mirror sites around the world in various languages to provide good service to everyone no matter which country you call home. We are always looking for Co-Hosts to start up and manage these sites in different languages. Please email us so that we can get the best qualified companies that can serve and succeed with us.

CGI Access and CGI scripts

CGI(Common Gateway Interface) scripts are used to provide things like counters, form responses, guest books, and many other things. All accounts have access to a cgi-local directory in which you can place your own custom CGI scripts This directory can be used to set up scripts that you write or find elsewhere on the web. If you use FrontPage 98, some of the scripts like hit counter, guest book, mail form, discussion forum, are already built into the program.

FrontPage 98

We offer Microsoft Frontpage extensions configured for Netscape Enterprise Server at no extra cost to you. Frontpage makes designing and maintaining a full-featured web site pretty easy compared to hand-coding. Microsoft provides direct support for all FrontPage users.

Control Panel

All users have access to your web-based Control Panel which allows you to set mail forwarding options, change your password and more. You can set up a password protected directory that only you can view or change.

Perl, mSQL

We support various languages for CGI and database development. Perl is the dominant language for writing CGI scripts. mSQL (mini SQL), is a database engine designed to provide fast access to stored data. We provide the tools to create a searchable database. Additional programming is needed to implement a fully functional web-to-database interface.

TrueSpeech^tm

You can use TrueSpeech to compress speech down to as much as 1/40th its original size. Support for TrueSpeech real-time audio is available for use in your web pages.

ParaChat

ParaChat provides the most advanced technology to transform a static web site into a real-time interactive community. ParaChat is a web-based 100% Java chat software that has rapidly taken hold of the Internet chat marketplace due to its ease of use and powerful features.
