What is Virtual Web Hosting ?
We specialize in Virtual Web Hosting which means that you can find a home for your web site on
our active SGI web servers and establish a presence on the internet. We can help register your
own domain name which will become your unique address on the World Wide Web. Having your
own domain name does not suggest that you are renting web space, and, since email can be
addressed to your domain (eg. WWW.YOURNAME.COM, WWW.YOURNAME.CO.IL ) you will not have to announce a
new email address if you change internet providers.
Do you offer dial-up internet access ?
No, you will need local internet access in order to maintain your web site and retrieve email
addressed to your site. Providing a specialized service means that we do not have hundreds of
modems to maintain enabling us to devote more time to our customers and to the addition of
enhancements to the entire site. Our Silicon Graphics web servers are connected to the internet via
multiple T3 lines to ensure a high level of performance.
Do you offer web page design services ?
No, we do not offer web page design, however we will gladly
to refer you to companies that offer web page consulting, web page development, and/or custom scripting services. For more information, contact
sales@interspace.net.
Can I upgrade from domain plan #1 to plan #2 ?
Yes. You can upgrade from domain plan #1 to plan #2 at any time. We will also give you credit of
the set up fee.
Can I check domain name availability?
Yes. You can check domain availability direct from our web site.
Does InterSpace handle domain registration ?
Yes. We will contact the InterNIC once your account is activated to request either a new domain
name registration or transfer. You do NOT need to submit a registration or modification template
to the InterNIC as this will only delay your request.
Can I transfer existing domain name to InterSpace ?
Yes. A number of our customers have transferred domains to our service. Whether you place an
order by telephone or via our online order form, be sure to specify that you are requesting a
transfer and NOT a new domain.
What is propogation ?
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 new site locations. This is called propagation.
Is 1000/MB of data transfer going to be enough to support my web site ?
Our experience has shown that 1000MB/month will be more than enough bandwidth for the average
web site. Depending on the quantity and sizes of your files, this could support many thousands of
hits per month. Note that only 1%-2% of our customers have exceeded the 1000MB of data
transfer threshold. Domain plan #2 accommodates 2GB of data transfer.
How do I transfer files to my web site ?
Files must be transferred to the web server via File Transport Protocol (FTP). If you have a PPP
internet account and need FTP software, you can download a program for either the PC or Mac
from our site. Internet providers such as AOL, Compuserve, and Prodigy may have a built-in FTP
interface. An FTP tutorial is available for first time users.
Will I have unlimited access to update my pages ?
You have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your
web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.
Can I use my account for commercial purposes ?
Yes, you can use your account for commercial purposes. The World Wide Web has become a
most efficient and cost-effective means of making information available to the users of the internet
community. If desired, secure processing is available under domain plan #2 which provides an
environment whereby payment information (such as a credit card number) can be transmitted from
web browser to web server in an encrypted mode.
Can I resell space within my own account ?
Yes. You can resell space within your account. However, you will be responsible for its content. It
will not be possible to acquire multiple account passwords for FTP access.
Do you accept international orders ?
Yes. We are pleased to have customers around the world and we're as close as your computer. If
desired, we can host US, Israel and rest of the world domain name extensions.
What contract and payment terms are available?
We bill at quarterly increments and require a minimum three month contract. We accept American
Express, MasterCard Diners and Visa cards as well as personal and business checks.
Do you offer technical support to customers ?
Yes. We encourage our customers to send email to support@interspace.net with questions or concerns
about their web site. We are relatively quick to respond to support email up to about 10pm
on week days. If we cannot offer a solution to a concern within a reasonable timeframe, we will
invite you to call us or we'll call you directly.
How long does it take to set up a new account ?
Orders submitted before 6pm which include payment information will be processed the same day!
Once an account is set up an activation notice will be sent you via email including a userid,
password, and FTP hostname. You can begin uploading files to your new web site immediately.
Domain account users will be given a temporary URL to access their site via the web prior to the
completion of either domain registration or transfer.
How do I place an order ?
You can place an order for either Virtual domain accounts directly from our
web site 24 hours a day or by calling +972-9-885-0480 between the hours of 8:30am-8:30pm
Israel time.
