Infuseweb performs nightly backups of each of its servers so that your information is protected in case you accidentally delete your files or a server fails. Not all data is recoverable and we do not guarantee that your data will always be recoverable so it is prudent to ensure you have backups of your files locally just in case. If you ever need your files restored, we charge a negligible $15 fee for simple file or folder recovery to help defray the cost of maintaining and supporting these backups. More time-consuming recovery services are billed at $15 per 15 minute increment.

So, if I send an e-mail to joe@yourdomain.com, but joe doesn't have a POP3 mailbox or forwarder, that e-mail will go to the catch-all account. The catch-all account can be set up as either a physical POP3 mailbox, or forward mail to another mailbox. Catch-all accounts are well known spam traps so at this time we have disabled the use of catch-alls.

Dedicated SSL certificates allow you to have a web site that can handle secured transactions between the client's computer and your web site and are tailored to your domain name. For example, https://www.yourdomain.com is a dedicated SSL certificate. Whereas Shared SSL certificates are FREE with Infuseweb hosting and use a common SSL certificate for all web sites using it, a dedicated SSL certificate is unique to your site. Therefore, there is additional cost for the purchase of the unique certificate and the Static IP address that is required for your web site to utilized the dedicated SSL certificate. Infuseweb can easily set up a dedicated SSL certificate for you starting at just $99.95/year.

This is the number of Domain aliases you are allowed on your domain. Domain Aliases are additional domain names associated with your main web site. So if your primary web site is www.yourdomain.com then an alias might be www.yourdomain1.com and would actually point to www.yourdomain.com. Domain aliases also forward e-mail from the domain alias to the corresponding account on the primary domain. So, if you have an e-mail account set up on your main domain called joe@yourdomain.com then when someone sends and e-mail to your alias, which would be joe@yourdomain1.com, it would automatically be sent to joe@yourdomain.com. You must register each domain name you wish to use as an alias with a domain registrar before you can use it.

This is the number of completely separate web sites (or domains) you may have simultaneously under your account. A web site is defined as an isolated set of web files, e-mail accounts, FTP, etc.

An e-mail alias allows you to create a "virtual" e-mail address that forwards messages to a physical mail account. For example, say you have a mail account set up at your ISP that you are used to using and want all your mail to forward there. Just set up an e-mail alias and it will forward mail from you@yourdomain.com to your ISP mailbox.

We constantly scan all incoming and outbound E-mail for potential viruses using our integrated anti-virus filters. This does not guarantee nor negate the need to ensure your own computer has anti-virus protection installed.

If you just want to have your e-mail forwarded to another mailbox, you can setup e-mail forwarders. Thus, if mail comes in to joe@yourdomain.com and you want to send it to joe@msn.com you can do this with a forwarder. You can also choose to store and forward e-mail using a POP3 mail account.

Extended mobile battery life – Transmission time is the most power-intensive aspect of cell phone use. Because other sync methods have longer transmission times than Exchange ActiveSync, they dramatically consume battery life.
