Remote Administration
The whole concept of a Virtual Server or Virtual Hosting (which is what most other hosting
providers offer) is based on remote administration. Many small to medium sized business
simply cannot afford to install a T1 into their office (let alone a DS3) and lay down the
capital, time, and human resources necessary to maintain a dedicated connection to the
Internet. A Virtual Server allows you to have a dedicated presence on the Internet and
maintain it remotely via a low cost dial-up connection. We-Host has several methods
which you can use to remotely manage and administrate your Virtual Server. These methods
are each presented below.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
We-Host allows you to use FTP to upload content to or download from your Virtual Server.
There are almost an inumerable amount of FTP clients available on the Internet (most are
freeware or shareware) which you can use. A page devoted to describing how
to use FTP is found in this Getting Started section of the We-Host web site.
Telnet or SSH
We-Host not only has the leading Virtual Server technology, the technicians who work our
our servers are seasoned security experts how . Because of this, we are more than
comfortable providing our clients with telnet and SSH access to their Virtual Servers
(most other web hosting providers lack the confidence and expertise necessary to make
their servers secure). Our "security hardened" server environment insures that
your data (and our data) cannot be compromised by would be "crackers" or
misdirected "hackers". A page devoted to describing how
to use telnet and SSH is found in this Getting Started section of the We-Host web
site.
Windows 95/NT File Sharing
The Windows Fileshare support allows you to map
your Virtual Server's home directory to your Windows 95 or NT desktop over the Internet.
This is very nice interface for maintaining your Web site. After your Virtual Server's
network drive is mapped, you simply need to "drag-and-drop" files to your
Virtual Server. This feature also allows you to delete, copy, and move files on your
Virtual Server as if it were a local drive. |
