Web Hosting: Features
Our system leverages high-speed connectivity, redundancy, and a sophisticated control panel to empower your online presence like no other hosting company can.
Toll Free Support
We are committed to providing you fast, friendly, and complete answers to your hosting questions. Call us to find out why our customers consistently say that our customer service is one of the best aspects of Modwest!
Load Balanced Hosting
Our hosting system is a load balanced grid of multiple webservers. The benefits of this architecture include fault tolerance, more "headroom" to handle surges of popularity, and long-term management efficiency, all of which add up to high levels of availability. We publish our historical availability on our status page.
PHP Flexibility and Security
At Modwest you'll also enjoy your own php.ini file to update whenever you like. Web developers will appreciate that your PHP pages will run as your user, within the context of your account. For more about how PHP works at Modwest, check our Advanced PHP page.
Free, Unlimited Subdomains
Our system allows you to start accepting traffic instantly at any "subdomain"
simply by creating
a subdirectory with the same name. For instance, to create the subdomain
"my" at example.com, you can create a subdirectory named "my" and then traffic
to http://my.example.com will be routed there.
Webalizer, AWStats and Wusage Website Traffic Statistics
Analyze your site traffic with graphs and charts and reports produced by Webalizer, AWStats or Wusage. These statistics detail how much web traffic you have and where it's coming from, with detailed breakdowns.

WordPress Hosting

24/7 Server Monitoring
Modwest servers are monitored by a remote "robot" program that tests web and database availability, keeping our staff informed of server status every second of the day.
24/7 Server Access
Update your site content any time of the day or night via your favorite
SFTP/SCP program, or SSH to log in to your shell account.
24/7 E-mail Support
Support questions sent to are automatically entered into our trouble ticketing system. Our support team is dedicated to providing quick, friendly, complete and honest answers to all questions received.
E-mail Services
Access e-mail @yourdomain with your favorite POP or IMAP
We can host your e-mail accounts on our server, or forward your e-mail to existing accounts you may have at work or with your internet service provider. If your hosting plan includes a set number of mailboxes, you can get additional mailboxes at $1 each, per month. All hosting plans include unlimited e-mail aliases and mail forwarding.
Virus Detection
Your security is important to us, so we have implemented e-mail virus detection for all our customers. Virus signatures are updated nightly.
Spam Filtering
We hate junk e-mail as much as you do. To help keep unwanted mail out of
your mailbox, we have created a tool that will catch spam as soon as it's
received. Using our Spam Control feature, you can customize the sensitivity
of your spam filter and specify what happens to spam when it is detected.
Monthly Data Transfer/Bandwidth Usage
Shell Access
Advanced users will enjoy administering their site via the command line (SSH). Dozens of standard unix utilities are available, such as bash, diff, perl, python, ruby, scp, rsync, ispell, vi, pico, jed, ex, pine, ping, nslookup, traceroute, whois, ncftp, mysql, mysqldump, recode, zip, tar, gzip, chmod, wget, htpasswd, sort, uniq, wc, sed, awk and more.
Subversion and CVS Hosting
Developers will appreciate our support of both CVS and SVN source control utilities on all our system.
Backups
Everyone makes a mistake once in a while. In the event that you lose precious
data on our grid hosting system, we can restore an archive for you. Your website and database data are
archived automatically on a nightly schedule and are kept for approximately 10 days.
Domain Aliases
If you have registered multiple domain names we can point them all to the same website for $1/month each. Please see our FAQ for more details on this service.
