Server Add-ons
Freedom
For those looking for the "next generation" web site with dynamic content, and don't wish to learn programming, and who still want all the features and benefits, but an ease of use never before available, you have Freedom.  Our best add-on, Freedom tools sit on your server, so you can administer your server from anywhere in the world (and from any computer).  Why put up with administration headaches (and update nightmares) when you can have FREEDOM for a fraction of the cost of other ASP solutions.
 
ColdFusion Servers on Solaris Servers
For those "do it yourselfers" who want to create data-driven content built from ULTRA-Dev, a good solution would be rent a virtual Solaris/ColdFusion server.  Please contact us for pricing.
Chili!Soft ASP on Solaris Standard and Solaris Pro Servers
Chili!Soft supports JScript and VBScript ASP layout, as well as a wide range of database interfaces, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. In addition, Chili!Soft can connect to most remote databases. Developing ASPs for Chili!Soft can be done directly, or by using any of several popular Web site design tools, including Microsoft FrontPage and InterDev, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive!, and Allaire HomeSite. This wide range of support makes Chili!Soft a powerful, yet "relatively" easy to use tool for designing and managing dynamic Web sites (though nowhere as easy as FREEDOM where all the real work has been done for you).
Apache:ASP
Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded Perl code.
AUTOMATED SCRIPTS: : | CGI | Java | Javascript | FrontPage, etc.
Automated Scripts give programmers additional functionality to perform automated tasks that you may wish added to your own site. Most of our clients aren't interested programming themselves, and want us to do that for them. However, whether you want to program or not, we still want you to know that we do provide the ability to automate most of the scripts seen elsewhere on the World Wide Web, including simple but commonly asked for scripts such as "e-mail autoreply."
CGI - COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE SCRIPTS
A large number of CGI scripts are available for your use. Please ask your sales representative to discuss these options with you.
JAVA
The Java applets that we customize for you will provide a simple and straight forward alternative to Dynamic HTML, but more importantly, the will run without problems on all computer platforms.
Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and 2002

Microsoft FrontPage offers an alternative for CGI scripting. Since we offer Server Extensions for Microsoft FrontPage for free, any one can add, change or remove pages from their site with ease. And some CGI scripts can be emulated using FrontPage extensions. Not a bad choice for the web novice.

Additional Options  RealServer, Database, etc.
RealAudio is the world's most popular streaming media server. Using leading edge networking and the state of the art codec technology, your users or customers can enjoy streaming multimedia presentations anywhere across the Internet. Our Virtual Servers support other multimedia applications as well, such as Shockwave Flash.

Dreamweaver and Flash 5 sites bring a new level of sophistication to your business presence on the Internet, while offering a greater level of compatibility. A number of our clients have been asking us to upgrade their sites to take advantage of these newer offerings. We're excited about deploying these two applications on the CloseRange servers. 

The predominant number of our clients host on our FreeBSD Unix servers. If you need an NT server to run unified Microsoft applications, let us know, and we will try to price a system that meets that requirement. For Unix servers we offer database funcationality options through the deployment of mSQL, MySQL.

 
Autoresponders

An autoresponder is used to return the contents of a file as the response to a mail message sent to an address on your server. The most common use is responding to an E-mail request with a pre-prepared document that you have worded.

Freedom may be configured to so that there is a unique message for each form used on the Freedom site. This tool is built into the Blue Interface, and is very easy for a novice to identify and use.

 
PHP3 and PHP4 - MOD PHP
PHP4 includes an HTML-embedded scripting language and a server-side preprocessor that interprets the HTML-embedded code in order to create dynamically generated web pages. PHP4 also supports several databases, including mSQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, and is commonly used for the development of database enabled web sites. FreeBSD & Solaris [PHP 4.2.2]> The best way to install PHP4 is to install the mod_php4 Apache Module.
 
mSQL (and MySQL)
The mini SQL is a relational database engine supporting a subset of ANSI SQL. While it is not a one size fits all application, what it can do, it can do quickly, and without consuming a great deal of resource overhead.
 
Oracle Client Libraries
Oracle Client Libraries> In order to connect to an Oracle database from your Virtual Private Server, you will need to use an Oracle Client. Your Oracle client program is in the ~/usr/local/oracle/ directory of your Virtual Private Server. Solaris [Oracle Client 8.1.7]> An Oracle client is installed by default on the Solaris Virtual Private Server.
 
ACTIVE SERVER PAGES
ASP - Active Server Pages> Active Server Pages (ASP) is an open, compile-free application environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts, and component calls to create dynamic and powerful Web-based business solutions. ASP runs as a service of the Virtual Private Server Apache Web Server and is optimized for multiple threads and multiple users. Files created with Active Server Pages have the extension .
 
BBS OPTIONS
You have a number of options, from the ever popular PHPBB, which offers a free license, but which an excellent BBS nonetheless, to BBS boards come with fee based licenses, such as UBB and others.
 
Various Statistical Web Site Traffic Analyzers
 
Compatible Encryption (SSL plus Digital ID setup)
If you wish your visitors to be able to fill out forms and send information to you in a secure manner, you will need to have SSL, Secure Socket Layer, installed on your server for a one time charge of $50. To make SSL able to send the data to your server, however, your server must be assigned a digital identification certificate. This must be purchased from Verisign Corporation, and or, its subsidiary, Thawte (which Verisign acquired some time ago). We can help you obtain your digital certificate. The cost for the certificate depends upon the type of encryption. The least expensive type is 40 bit encryption, and starts at $125 per year (renewals at $100). 128 bit encryption is also available.
