What is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting is the facility provided by an Internet Service Provider or a dotcom firm to store, update, add, delete and share your web site on their 
Web Server, guaranteeing a scalable and reliable connectivity on the Internet.
  

What benefits arise from Web Hosting?

We provide hosting to organizations or individuals with a presence on the Internet through the lease of server disk space. Our hosting infrastructure consists of a group of servers, routers and switches that are connected to the Internet by means of a high-speed access line. In addition to disk space on one of the many servers in the Data Center, the other benefits are maintenance, security, 24x7 network monitoring and bandwidth. The proximity of our servers to SAFE (South Africa Far East Fiber Optic Cable Network) ensures a complete, reliable and fast transfer of data at higher speeds.

How do I do Unlimited Forwarding of my emails?

When you are hosting your website, you get a fixed number of email ID's @yourdomain.com. You can use one of these email ID's to create Unlimited Forwarding of your emails. The advantage of doing this is that any email addressed at your domain but having a wrong prefix, gets forwarded to one common email address. That way you do not miss any emails and none of them bounce back. To enable unlimited forwarding of all emails @yourdomain.com to a particular email address that you have, in the email management control panel, create one email as *@yourdomainname.com. Now you have to forward this email ' *@yourdomain.com' to any particular email address that you have under your domain or elsewhere. Now all the emails that are addressed @yourdomain and which do not exist will come to that particular email address.
 

What is Keyword?

A Keyword provides a universal addressing system that allows people to navigate the Web using common names in their own language and character sets. Keywords simplify Web navigation and are fast becoming the powerful new way to go directly to a specific page on the Internet. A complement to domain names, Keywords consist of names and brands without the www's, dashes, symbols and dot-whatever extensions of URLs. When entered into the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser command line, Keywords take users directly and intuitively to the information they seek, at no cost to Internet users and with no special downloads. 

For example, instead of typing http://www.msn.com, you can simply type the Keyword: MSN to be delivered to that Website. No "http://", no ".com", just the company or brand name as it is already known, advertised and recognized. Since the Keyword System is based on Unicode, it is not restricted to the 37 ASCII characters available to the Domain Name System. In fact, almost any character set can be represented, including Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. For the first time, this opens up the global Internet to languages beyond those using Roman characters.
 

Where do Keywords work? 
Keywords can be used in the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser command line, worldwide. Keywords also work in other Keyword-enabled environments such as MSN Explorer and NeoPlanet browsers, major search engines such as MSN and Looksmart, and on mobile phones via the Openwave Mobile Access Gateway.
 
Are Keywords case-sensitive?
No, Keywords are not case-sensitive; a user may type Keywords in upper or lower case. However, they are sensitive to special characters like spaces and ampersands. 
 
How are Keywords different from Domain Names? 
Keywords complement your domain names, to deliver a user-friendly, next generation web address. However, there are several distinctions between Keywords and domain names. Keywords provide added functionality to the users needs like supporting multiple languages and character sets, enhance brand identity by allowing multiple words and special characters, they are easy to remember and to use, they provide usage tracking and reporting and can work across all Internet-enabled platforms.
 
I already have a domain name. Why do I need a Keyword? 
A domain name is essential to provide a DNS entry for your Web site and email system. However, the system limits users to 37 Roman characters and numbers, lower case only. Keywords can use the same words and spaces as your company or brand name, and in any language and character set. For this reason, Keywords are far more memorable and intuitive than URLs, and far more likely to be recognized and used by your customers.
 
Why should my business register Keywords in different countries?
Businesses can have their brand / identities exposed online. Country-specific Keywords allow you to prevent unauthorized use of your trademarks, brands and licensed names worldwide. Country-specific Keywords also allow you to manage and deliver your customers to any Web page on your international site(s) through direct and intuitive browser navigation. MintValleys Keyword Services enables registration of your keyword in India, the U.K or the U.S.A
