Features of Web Hosting Packages
Perhaps the key feature of all Hostcentral webhosting plans is the way in which we bill for usage. Whilst it is
standard practise to bill for both incoming and outgoing data (website hits, email, etc), here at Hostcentral, we only bill
for data that goes to our servers. This billing structure makes hosting broadband quality content at Hostcentral not
only more affordable than practically every other Australian webhosting company, but the vast majority of US based companies
as well.
All packages come with the following features and technologies as
standard:
- Webscripting technologies such as PHP,
Perl and Python.
- Ruby on Rails support.
- Microsoft Frontpage 2002 server extensions for both regular and encrypted
pages.

of directories through .htaccess files.
