Major Features
The following features are provided to all web sites as part of both Basic and Premium plans:
- Project web service
- A pool of web servers to host your web content.
- Project shell service
- UNIX shell host access to permit interactive editing of your content.
- Project-defined Virtual Hosts (VHOSTs)
- Custom VHOSTs will be defined so the web servers will answer traffic for your web site name, specific to your department.
- Shell servers
- Access to the shell servers is protected by UNIX permissions, and controlled by your webmaster. Only the webmasters that are part of your web site group are able to write to your web site directory space or other files.
- Server Side Includes
- Server Side Includes are supported on our web servers. SSI provides another method of producing dynamic web content. SSI commands are put into an HTML comment, which is interpreted by the web server, resulting in dynamically-generated HTML.
- CGI (perl, sh, ...)
- CGI is one method for executing binaries or interpreted scripts which generate web pages, which allows you to create dynamic web sites. CGI scripts may be written in a variety of programming languages. The shared nature of our web service has important security considerations for web applications that access local files; please program your scripts accordingly.
