Domains:
Foggy.net can host your custom domain at very economical rates, and give you the same kind of presence on the Internet that large organizations have.  We suggest you contact one of our sales staff to discuss how a custom domain or sub-domain could benefit you.  Domain hosting has been unbundled from access to the net, so you may choose the set of services that best serve your needs.

vamsi
On accounts described in preceding sections on this page, provides access to the Internet.  To maintain your own Web site, you need into the Internet.  We can provide you this access or you can use any other access provider and host your domain with Foggy.net.  To maintain your Web site on our UNIX servers, you will use ftp and connect to the Foggy.net ftp server using your domain login and password.  We also make available an Cobalt server with FrontPage extensions enabled for a small surcharge.  Cobalt is inherent UNIX, and there are some well-known security problems, but the great convenience is often worth the cost.

Domain Hosting
at Foggy.net include the following:

  • Up to 40 Mb of disk space for Web page and data
  • Dedicated Web server for your domain
  • Maintenance and monitoring of routing
  • Technical administration and contact with InterNIC
  • Daily backup to tape
  • Routing of email to any single address designated
  • ftp access to Web site protected by unique login and password (Except Cobalt)
  • Raw hit logs posted in directory

Domain Parking
Domains are registered with InterNIC, the international central registration organization.  Our setup charge includes doing all the work to get your domain registered, but does not include the separate fee that InterNIC charges for registration.  Currently their fee is $70 for the first year and $35/year thereafter.  They invoice separately, and will come directly to you.  If you do not intend to make any use of an domain name but want to hold it for future use, we will establish and maintain a "Start of Authority" (SOA) record at Foggy.net.  InterNIC will not register a domain name unless there is an SOA that they can query, and that responds correctly.  Although the fee is not refundable, you can convert to domain hosting at any time, and the entire unused portion of your fee will be applied to domain hosting charges.

Traffic
Foggy.net is charged for services based on usage.  To be fair to all our users, those few large sites that produce an exceptional amount of traffic are charged for it.  One Gigabyte is a LOT of traffic.  If your site gets this much traffic, you are so successful that you should be delighted to pay the extra charges.

Disk Space
The first 40 megabytes of disk space for your domain Web pages and data are included in the domain hosting fee.  Large sites may use more space.  There is no upper limit on the amount of space we can provide.

FrontPage Extensions on Cobalt Server
Many page developers now use Microsoft FrontPage as a development tool.  We fully support the Microsoft FrontPage extensions by hosting domains on a Cobalt server.  Our Cobalt Server is dedicated to this purpose and no other, so it performs at least as well as any other Cobalt Server - but UNIX servers are inherently much faster.  If you need the extensions, this service is for you.  If you need the highest performance from the server, try to program the site using standard HTML.  If you choose to use our Cobalt Server, you MUST use Microsoft FrontPage to maintain your web site.

Programming
The staff at Foggy.net includes analysts with up to 25 years of experience individually, and over 100 years of experience combined.  We can create and install very sophisticated Web sites using CGI scripting, or program custom applications using C, Perl, Microsoft Access, and other tools.  You can write your own scripts and applications, but they must be reviewed by our programmers, at the regular programming hourly rate, before installation.
