HELM Extensions

Date: 01/03/2005

We hereby announce the introduction of Helm Extensions Add-on for Windows hosting.
Hex comes with the following features

-----------------------------------------------
Disk Space Tracking
=============
Normally, Helm only tracks the disk space used by your customers websites. Now, with Helm Extensions, you can include the disk space taken up by E-Mail and Databases! If configured to do so, Helm Extensions also gives your users a breakdown of how their space is being used. It provides breakdowns on the following:
Web Files (/wwwroot)
Access Databases (/db)
IIS Log Files (/logs)
Other Files
E-Mail
MySQL Database
MS SQL Database
MS SQL Log Files

Temporary URL
==========
Allow your customers to setup a URL via which they can access their website before DNS propagation, or so they can test their website before finally moving it from an old provider to your services.

Parent Paths
========
The parent paths feature of IIS is off by default in Windows 2003, due to security concerns. However many asp scripts require that it is turned on - resulting in support tickets from users requesting it. With this feature, Parent Paths can be enabled or disabled by the user on a specific domain or sub-domain at any time.
