Common Questions and Answers

We have listed below answers to the most common questions we get asked about Exploit Virtual Webservers.

Q. Can I use Frontpage extensions on an Exploit server?
A. Yes.   We support all editions of FrontPage on our servers.
  
Q. What's the catch with your 'free' domain name offer.
A. There simply isn't one.   Exploit simply offer free .com, .net and .uk domain names with all new servers to  encourage new business. 
  
Q. How difficult is it to manage a webserver
A. Its easier than using the video  - if you can use a web browser you can manage an Exploit webserver.

Q. Can an easy to use server still have power?
A. Absolutely.

All Exploit servers come with a full cgi-bin and ssi capability,  whether you choose to use it or not is up to you but the facility is there if you need it.

Q. Can I dial up through Exploit?
A. No.  Exploit are not an ISP.   

We have customers throughout the world and providing dial up access for all customers would not be viable or desirable. 

If you consider the basic facts - if we were an ISP we would have to share the bandwidth (the size of the connection) available to your server with many thousands of dial up users.   When the net is at peak loads,  i.e. the maximum number of people are on at one time we need to ensure all our bandwidth is available to all our servers.  This would simply be impossible if we offered dial up access and most of the bandwidth would be used by the huge numbers of dial ups online at that time.

Exploit Virtual Web servers will work with any standard dial up account from any other company,  so by hosting at Exploit you can have the best of both worlds - an independent ISP and a fast web server.  
 

Q. Why don't you offer unlimited web space?
A. Exploit don't offer unlimited web space as very few users need it.

By pricing according to the web space you need you get the best deal as you are not contributing towards the cost of the space and bandwidth used by the very few users that require unlimited space.

 

Q. What about advanced features - do you support these? 
A. Yes,  we support most advanced features.  All Exploit web servers come  with their own dedicated cgi-bin,  and have access to PHP.  SSL is an option for secure e-commerce and SSI is also fully supported.

As our servers run on industry standard Cobalt RAQ platforms (in use in 1/3 of all the Tier 2 and Tier 3 service providers around the world) you can be sure all standard applications will run on your Exploit web server.
