Virtual Server Extensions

As a Virtual Server Administrator, you have access to a large array of programs that extend the capability and functionality of your server. These programs are are called "extensions" and though some were developed by third parties, each are supported by the Iserver Support Managers. Each of the extensions is accompanied by a large amount of documentation which should be reviewed and understood. Some of the extensions have license agreements that you should make yourself familiar with and agree to. Furthermore, mSQL and Netscape Compatible Encryption require a small licence fee.

Netscape Compatible Encryption

You have the option to add Netscape Compatible Encryption to your Virtual Server. With Netscape compatible encryption, your customers will feel confident sending you their credit card information online because they know it will be a secure transaction.

     

Virtual Sub-Hosting

The Virtual Server System can now be configured to house multiple Virtual Hosts. This allows you to subdivide your Virtual Server into multiple partitions, each of which responds to its own individual domain name.

Software License Fees

At Iserver, we recognize the harmful effects of software piracy and illegitimate use, and therefore attempt negotiate and purchase a site license to use the software when possible. If a site license cannot be secured, we will attempt to make other arrangements with the author of the software. Thus you will save a great deal of money since we secure licenses, contracts, and partners as a corporation representing thousands of business and individuals (you).

For example, Iserver has negotiated with the author of mSQL, David Hughes, for site wide use of mSQL. If you were to purchase a single individual use license for your personal or company's use of mSQL, you would be obligated to pay a $170 license fee. The site license fee Iserver has secured is $50 per server, a $120 savings for you.

Iserver is also an authorized RSA Partner. Our arrangement with RSA is that we pay them $20/month for each server that uses its encryption technologies. This is a fee we pass on to our clients directly (i.e. we don't mark it up).
