All of this and we don't skimp on storage; you get 500MB of storage and an allowance of 20GB of bandwidth a month through our private domain hosting plan which only costs about $20 a month.

Due to the impact of spam and viruses on our subscribers and the Internet community at large, we have decided to include spam and anti-virus countermeasures to all of our subscribers.

ideaForest.net mail servers are now running ClamAV virus protection. All mail coming in and going out of our servers will be scanned for the latest viruses. If a message is found to contain a virus, it will be removed from our servers before the message gets to our subscribers or out to the Internet. Virus signatures are updated twice daily to ensure that we're up-to-date with the latest list of vulnerabilities.

Advanced Email Services

All of our hosting options include Email services using latest technology in Email servers. ideaForest.net chose NetWin's SurgeMail Email server due to its outstanding spam and virus countermeasures, and because of its ability to provide failover mail delivery to ensure that mail always gets through.

All of the modern amenities are available with ideaForest.net email services: Webmail, Secure POP/IMAP, SMTP services, and RAV Antivirus (as an option).

Manila hosted accounts come with one email account and four forwarding email accounts. With our Apache Private Domain hosted accounts, there are no limits on the number of email accounts you can set up for your domain.

UNIX Reliability

Reliability and customer satisfaction are key ideals here at ideaForest.net, which is why we chose Apple Xserve and its UNIX based environment to host the services we offer to the public. It's a win-win with stability, flexibility and a wide feature set that Mac OS X provides.

To make your Manila file manipulation chores a little bit easier, we are making the Filer Plugin available to our Manila hosting subscribers. One big benefit with Filer is that you can share files publicly, to only members, or to only your site's editors.

This feature replaces GEMs functionality only if you choose to activate it for your site. (Prefs->Plugins->Filer checkbox)
