the "www" in the front
of the domain name. Example: [http://www.your-domain.com] or
[http://your-domain.com] is acceptable, whichever you prefer.

ability to check your email anywhere on the internet.

At this time we are not offering any Windows-based hosting accounts
since our system is Linux-based.
No we do not support ASP. Our servers are UNIX/Linux based and ASP is
a Windows based component.
Although there are various patches designed to run on UNIX/Linux we
have found them to be unstable and resource intensive and not 100%
compatible with Microsoft's implementation of ASP.

MySql version.

Usually, we never spontaneously shut down sites. We are fairly liberal
when it comes to server usage as long as no one abuses it.
If we find a script you are running is draining more than your fair
share of the server's resources we will give you a warning and ask
that you discontinue using it, or trim it down. If you are looking to
run resource intensive scripts we suggest a dedicated server.
...
We do not support anonymous FTP at this time.
We have weekly backups to second hard drive in each server. Although
we attempt to make sure your data is safe and take utmost care in
everything we do, we still suggest each account holder keep their own
backup on their own local drive.
We do not guarantee the backups we have, to be free from error or,
claim in every instance to be able to restore your account in full in
case of loss of data.
