What Is It?

FlexNet will setup a Virtual Website, Virtual Email Server and a Virtual FTP Server (if requested) under your Virtual Domain. This gives a more professional look to your Internet presence.

Is Virtual Domain Hosting for Me?

If you have to ask a question like this, then probably NO.

Also, FlexNet doesn't offer tech support. We don't do web design, or CGI programming. You are on your own.

You'll need to know how to FTP your html files to FlexNet, and what a home directory is, and what public_html directory is. And where and how to create a cgi-bin directory under public_html, and how to make files executable and how to call them in your HTML docs. Also, you need to know what use a "index.html" file is, and how to create it! (You'd be surprised on the number of users who don't know what it's for.)

We run a standard UNIX system. We run an Apache Web Server, currently version 1.3.12 (including a Secure Server). We operate under STANDARD setups and STANDARD procedures that you will find with 90% of the ISPs out there. Our PERL is located at /usr/local/bin/perl and our SENDMAIL is at /usr/sbin/sendmail

If all this is unclear to you in the slightest way whatsover, then STOP. Do NOT sign up for a Virtual Domain. FlexNet is not for you. We don't support FrontPage either and never will.

We don't teach HTML. We don't have time to baby or pamper you, or to give you the equivalent of a $150/hr web consulting service, spend hours and hours with you (as I've mistakenly done in the past) and yet only charge you a flat rate of $9.95 a month.

Get Real, folks.

In short, our system ROCKS. Your Virtual Domain will rock also, if you know what the heck you are doing.

How Much Is It?

Just a one-time fee of $50. Then you pay your regular FlexNet account fee of $9.95 per month. However we do limit Virtual Domains to one per account. All accounts come with 10Megs of space, and additional storage is $1 per Meg per Month.

What are FlexNet's Name Servers?

NS1.VIRTUALWEBSITE.COM	68.178.224.130
NS2.VIRTUALWEBSITE.COM	72.167.16.129
NS3.VIRTUALWEBSITE.COM	75.101.146.179

These are real, individual DNS Servers --not some faked-out aliased IP'd overloaded do-it-all-on-one server!

You'll need this information to modify/create your domain at GoDaddy (or another domain name registrar). Yup, you'll be doing this all by yourself.

Okay, I'm Game. What's Next?

1. Make sure you have the smarts to do all this. At the very least, you'll need to know how to register a domain at GoDaddy.

2. Open up a FlexNet account, and upload your HTML pages to your public_html sub-directory at your FlexNet account via FTP to ftp.flex.com. This sub-directory under your FlexNet account is where your virtual domain will be pointed to when we set things up for you. Now you should test and see things work i.e. http://www.flex.com/~kimo

3. Once you register or modify your domain record, fill out our Feedback Form stating:

a) Your Virtual Domain Name
b) The FlexNet Account Name

We won't do anything unless we receive this information from you, and see your DNS record's name servers entries are pointing to our FlexNet servers as indicated above.

4. For Virtual Domain Email:

Okay, this is updated April 2008: we will setup your domain's email at google for you. Yes you can do this yourself pretty easily, but since you're paying us $50 buckeroos, then why not let us set it up for you?

Once setup, you will have total control over your domain's email via your own login page. This is the exact setup that FLEX.COM uses for our users. It is an excellent way of doing email with tons of capacity, spam protection second to none and both POP3/SMTP and webmail access!

After we setup your Virtual Domain, we will charge your account the one-time setup fee of $50 which will be due on your next billing cycle. Nice and Simple.


Important Note: If you are thinking about installing a FORM MAILER, you must use our FLEXMAIL.CGI Form Mailer, else run the risk of being Spam Hacked, and thus paying us a $50 re-activation fee...
