Shared 128 Bit SSL Certificate

Custom Error Pages

Use this utility to define what will be done if a requested page on your site is missing or fails to open for any other reason.

Custom MIME Types

This utililty allows you to define file formats that are not defined in web browsers. This enables the browser to display or output files that are not in HTML format, just like it displays simple text files, .gif graphics files and PostScript files.

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions help ensure that sites created with Microsoft Frontpage work properly and smoothly, supporting the advanced features of the web-authoring tool. The extensions can be turned on instantly from the Larry Fisher Hosting Account H-sphere Control Panel.

ODBC Support (Windows Only)

Open DataBase Connectivity is a standard database access method developed by Microsoft Corporation. ODBC makes it possible to access any data from any application by means of ODBC drivers - one for each database format. You can create DSN (Date Source Name) records based on ODBC drivers to access databases of different formats under Windows plan.

Password Protect Files and Folders

You can password protect directories and files with various user names and passwords from within your H-sphere Control Panel.

Scheduled Jobs (Crontab) (Unix Only)

The crontab is a long-running process that executes commands at specific dates and times. You can use this to schedule activities, either as one-time events or as recurring tasks. Normally you must set your crontab via the command line. At Larry Fisher Hosting, our customers can edit their crontabs right from your H-sphere Control Panel.

Server Side Imagemap (Unix Only)

This feature allows your server to regard files with a specific extension as map files. In other words, the server checks the file with the specified extension to define the links of an image (unlike a client-side image map, which uses the info inserted into the HTML code) and reports back to the browser where to go.

SSH Access (Unix Only)

Larry Fisher Hosting offers the secure form of telnet known as SSH for it's hosting packages. This allows us to provide extra security to our web servers, which in turn provides our clients with the best possible performance.

Throttle Resource (Unix Only)

This tool allows you to 'throttle' the use of traffic in your account by delaying or refusing requests to your sites.

URL Redirection

The Redirect URL option allows you to change the file that appears when a user enters a specific file's web address. Example: There are a number of old URLs for your site's home page that are no longer current, yet people still use them. You don't really want people going to those old URLs because either an outdated page will display or they'll get an error. Set up redirection for these old URLs, so that when users enter them into their web browsers, the file at your current URL displays instead.

WebShell File Manager

The Web Shell/File Manager program is a robust tool that can be used for a variety of functions. It can be used as an FTP Agent, a file organizer, a rich text, and CGI editor or especially useful for password protecting directories.
