What is the difference between a domain and web hosting ?
|
|
|
Web hosting is the provision of allocated space on a server that has a
permanent connection to the Internet. This allows people from all over the
world to see your website 24/7.
A domain is a unique name with an extension(.com .net) that you register
for yourself, your business or organization. These domain names are
addresses which typically point to websites on web servers. Seaex offers
you a courtesy domain youraccount.seaex.com but most customers
choose to register their own domain companyname.com.
SeaEx offers affordable domain name
registration through our registration form process. Hosting customers can
register domain names at reduced AU$150 for 2 years. These are
considerable savings when using our service you will have piece of mind.
Current domains available for registration: .com/.org/.net/.info/.biz/.tv/*.uk/*.ca/.cc/.us

would like to delegate this will take 24/48 hours for the domain to

How can I move my website to seaex
without it going offline ?
|
|
|
Getting started with your seaex website is very straight forward
requiring only a couple of steps to be followed. The first one would be to
sign up for the plan and terms of your choice at
http://www.seaex.com/join/
Your account will be activated immediately and you will be sent
instructions on how to upload your website to your server space.
The final step in transferring would be delegating your domain to our
servers. This will be the longest process for the transfer, as it takes
time for your domain changes to propagate to all areas of the Internet. It
is recommended you keep your current account active until the delegation
process is complete(24-48 hours) so as to minimize any downtime. While
your domain is being delegated, you can use the courtesy domain we give
you, http://member_name.seaex.com to test your site.

|
Can I use Java/Servlets on my website ?
|
|
|
We
do not currently support JSP pages as they can be resource hungry and not
viable on a shared hosting environment. We usually recommend that
customers wanting to use Java servlets go on their own dedicated server
for enhanced reliability and security for their Java environment. You can
request a dedicated quote
here.
You can of course use Java Applets, as they run through your browser and
not the server.

Do you support WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) ?
|
|
|
Yes.
|
|
top |
|
|
Do you support ASP or Microsoft Access Database ?
|
|
|
Currently we do not run Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Servers so ASP and
Access Database are not available. Our servers, like the majority of web
servers, are UNIX based for maximum reliability and there is no native
support for ASP or Access.
Our customers achieve database interactivity with the web using PHP or
Perl which are more powerful and robust alternatives to ASP. You can also
find many more free pre-written scripts at sites such as
www.cgi-resources.com
If ASP is your only option, the main issue will be finding a reasonably
priced NT host. You will always pay higher rates for NT servers due to the
increased workload in keeping them running.
However we do support FrontPage 2002 Extensions for Unix, which will need
to be enabled in the Member Services
Section for your account, prior to loading your site |
