Multiple email addresses
Up to 20 email addresses - more if you need
Multiple email addresses make it easy to separate enquiries into categories and send the emails to the right person.
It is quite usual to have a general information address (info@your company), a sales address (sales@your company) and perhaps a support address (support@your company).
Each address can be directed to the appropriate person in your company or, if it is just you, it can be directed to an appropriate "inbox" on your email application.
Using your Cpanel (standard with all hosted accounts), it is a simple task to set up as many email accounts as you need.
Email Forwarders
Re-direct emails to people or accounts of your choice
From your Cpanel, setting up email forwarding for individual email accounts is very straightforward.
They are useful if you expect to be on the road a lot or are going on holiday.
You can forward your mail to your hotmail or Google account and so stay in touch with your clients or customers no matter where you are.
Webmail
Browser access to your email accounts
Webmail is an easy, basic method of accessing and reading/replying to your emails securely from any computer, anywhere.
Webmail is accessed by typing http://webmail.mycompanyname.com into your browser address bar. You then enter your email address as in the "username" field and the password you used to create the email account goes into the "password" field.
You are then offered a choice of 3 email programmes that you can use to read and send emails directly from your site.
Multiple Domains and Sub - Domains
Why you might want more than one domain
You may feel that one domain (www.mybusiness.com) is all that you need - and in many cases it is enough.
There are businesses however, that benefit from having more than one website. For instance, if you have one part of your business that is devoted to sales and another part devoted to service (i.e. sales of electrical goods and servicing of electrical appliances).
In this instance, it may be beneficial to have www.mysalescompany.com as one "domain" and www.myservicecompany.com as a second "domain".
With AB Media Services hosting package, this is no problem - you can host up to 10 domains on one hosting plan. You can even have Sub-Domains for each of those domains e.g. billing.servicedomain.com to further separate your web activities and make finding the services you offer even easier for people to find.
There is no extra charge for multiple domains and each domain enjoys exactly the same great features that the main domain has to offer

Unlimited MySQL Databases
As many (or as few) databases as you need
Customer information, product information, order tracking, service records.
There are many reasons to hold information online.
The main concern is to know that the information you hold is secure and complies with EU law.
AB Media Services hosting is a re-seller for Hostgator (www.hostgator.com)) one of the worlds largest and most secure hosting companies. As such it is "Safe Harbour Certified" which means that it complies with all EU directives concerning the safe storage and transmission of personal data.
MySQL is a database structure that offers excellent security features and is extremely easy to use. Widely supported, it is one of the most used database engines on the web.
You can have as many databases as you need. If you need an SSL certificate (Secure Socket Layer - guarantees customer security and is recognisable by the padlock icon in your browser when you are paying online) we can arrange this for a small additional fee.
PHP, PERL and CGI support
Scripting languages
AB Media Services servers support a variety of scripting languages including PHP, PERL and CGI.
A long technical explanation here wouldn't be appropriate however, enough to say that these languages allow the use of databases and various documents to enable smooth email forwarding from your site and interaction with databases etc.
