What is a Virtual Domain?

Hosting is where your web site is located. In other words, its URL, also known as its address. If you don't own your own web server connected to the backbone of the internet, you need hosting services.


Is 6 gigs of traffic per month enough for my site?

Sure! Because your site is sitting on our computer, and not yours, it's not necessary for you to have a computer to have a website.



What kind of servers do you use, and what about bandwidth (speed)?

It's relatively easy to get your domain name at Register.com. It costs $70 for the first two years, $35 per year, thereafter (payable to interNic). Registration is included for free in our one year hosting packages, and is normally a $15 charge.


Are 3rd level domains available (anyname.mydomain.com)?

Well, first, our prices are very competitive. 3 months $ 75 ($25/month) pre-paid 6 months $120 ($20/month) pre-paid one year $204 ($17/month) pre-paid Second, we're competent: Our tech staff was using the internet before the World Wide Web even existed, our company has been around for over two years, and, we plan on serving our customers for many more years. We're your neighbors. Should you need technical support, or have a question, or just want to chat, we're available. When you call Southern Online, you're talking to one of the owners.



Will I have unlimited access to update my pages?

We figure that most business web sites will fit nicely into 20 megs of space, with room for growth. Figuring the space needed for an average business web page, 20 megs should let you have over 200 pages on your site.

What is meant by we "support FrontPage extensions"?

The InterNIC is an independent organization responsible for holding the registration and routing of Internet domain names. Without these people it would be virtually impossible to maintain sanity on the Internet. Registration fee is US$70 for the first two years and $35/year thereafter for your virtual domain name. The InterNIC will send you an invoice via email between 3 weeks to 1-1/2 months after the domain is registered.



What are "server extensions"?



How do I get the FrontPage extensions installed on my site?

We will contact the InterNIC once your account is activated to request either a new domain name registration or a domain name modification (transferring an existing domain to our servers). Please DO NOT submit a registration or modification template to the InterNIC as this will only delay the process.



Is there a charge for the server extensions?

Yes, just be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service with your current provider while waiting for InterNIC to complete the transfer process. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror the site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from your current site. When InterNIC announces the completion of the transfer there is a 72 hour propagation period where visitors could go to either site. At the end of the 72 hours you should contact your previous host to have them delete the old domain from their records and update their DNS record. If you use this same provider for your Internet access you will not be able to access your domain site until they update their DNS.



Are there other resources to help me use FrontPage?

Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72-hours before it is active. All Internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect the new site's location.
