- What is the procedure for managing FTP logs from my end?
In the end user control panel i.e https://my.dinpl.com , we have given you adequate access to view the FTP logs as well as delete the same if required
- What is the bandwidth required on a general basis while hosting my site on Drushtis Servers?
To determine how much bandwidth you will need, you must estimate how big each page on your site is and how many people are going to view it. To do this, add up the size of every image on the page and the size of the page's HTML files, and multiply that by the amount of views for that page you expect per month. For example, if you had three 10k images on your page and a 2k HTML file, you would have 32k of data on that page. Multiply that by your expected page views (let's say in this case it is 100,000 per month), and you get 3.2 G of data to be transferred that month for that page. Now calculate this for each page, and you will know approximately how much bandwidth your entire site requires.
- What is the time period for my account to get activated?
The maximum time for an account to be set-up is not more than 8 to 12 hours maximum.
- How long does it take your DNS to get refreshed?
It takes maximum an hour for the DNS to get refreshed from our end. The rest depends on the ISP policy as to how soon they clear the cache from their end.
- In case the name servers are not refreshed , will my Site get uploaded?
Yes you can upload your files by connecting to the server via the IP address .
In the field containing host name, just give in the host IP & you can upload the necessary files.
- How do I check my files on Server even though my site is not resolving due to nameservers?
If the DNS is not resolving, you can check your site that is uploaded on the server by setting proxy on your computer.
Just click on Tools--->Internet Options---->Connections--->Lan Settings---->Use a proxy server(check on this) & give in the server IP address .
Then say OK. The proxy will get set. Once the proxy is set, you can check the site hosted on that server. Pls note at this point of time no other sites will be accessed whihc are not on this server.
- What is Site re-direction ?
Site re-direction means poiting of site to some other site.
In this the domain get's all the files that are applicable to the main site. In site re-direction the only necessity is that the site has to be registered.
The remaining is take care from our end.
- Do you provide static IP address on shared servers?
Yeah we do provide the same. There are some advantages to having a unique IP for your site. When you change servers, you can point your users to a new IP, so they don't have to wait for the domain name change to propagate. With a static IP, it can also be simpler to upload and test your site before transferring the domain name to a new server. Setting up SSL is also much simpler. You may also not want to share your IP with some sites that could lead to your site being banned by search engines or spam lists.
- Incase I need to go in for a secured site, what are the pre-requisites?
Yes, you'll need to get a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority such as VeriSign, Thawte, or Equifax Secure or Entrust.

- Windows Shared Hosting:
Windows Servers are designed to accommodate advanced Microsoft applications. Windows Servers therefore integrate back office offerings such as FrontPage, Access and MS SQL. Windows Servers also offer specific programming environments such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, and Cold Fusion, which mainly link database applications to the Web. Windows servers usually do not provide an interactive shell, but are accessible through GUI-based remote administration packages such as PCAnywhere or through a customized control panel. Such packages allow you to log into the server's desktop as chief administrator as long as you have full control over your server. Windows hosting is now an excellent option for both shared and dedicated servers. Due to the latest technological developments, Windows Servers can be more easily multiplexed and managed due to .NET technology. Windows is also an excellent operating system to use if you intend to run your own dedicated server. Since Windows servers provide unparalleled levels of support, security and integration for the Microsoft family of products, we recommend that consumers select Windows hosting if they need to link a Microsoft-based service to their Internet hosting requirements. Windows hosting, however, is rather complex and labor-intensive and should only be selected if a webmaster has extensive experience in maintaining Windows systems remotely and requires product/Web integration.

- Linux Shared Hosting:
A large number of hosting solutions are provided on the UNIX platform. This is because the UNIX platform is specifically designed to accommodate heavy Web traffic and server loads. UNIX servers are robust and are recognized for their ability to host multiple sites and serve out gigabytes of traffic. This platform is also preferred by most webmasters due to their technical requirements. UNIX servers provide a wider degree of flexibility due to their shell environment. Shell environments are interactive, text-based systems that allow webmasters to interact and customize their services in real-time from any computer system worldwide. Unlike Windows systems, UNIX is not limited to special remote administration programs. A typical UNIX system can be accessed from any computer connected to the Internet without special or expensive software. But the most favored reason that most webmasters choose the UNIX platform is because of its uptime. Most UNIX systems with heavy traffic can provide 99 per cent uptime. Windows servers with heavy traffic usually cannot make this same claim, unless specially configured. For this reason, average webmasters should select UNIX as their OS. If you are a novice, you most likely will not require Windows hosting and you should select one of many UNIX hosting plans. The only time you would need to use Windows hosting is when you are using the specific Windows applications noted above. Microsoft FrontPage may be used on both the UNIX and Windows platforms,since most hosting firms support Microsoft FrontPage server extensions on both.

- Can I use Java applets, JavaScript, and Flash pages on my site?
Yes. Those are client-side technologies, so the host doesn't have to do anything to support or enable them. Any browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape) that supports them is enough, so any host will do. It doesn't matter whether Java or Flash are listed among plan's features, they are supported by default.
