Other Services


Want to be "discovered"?

We can provide information on various Web index and search services (such as Yahoo, AltaVista, Lycos, Excite, etc). If you desire, we can also include your Web site in our database we periodically refer to these services.

CGI scripts and forms

Our Web server provides Imagemap, Perl (v5), and many standard CGI scripts built-in. Development or installation assistance with more advanced custom scripts is available.

Script development charge: hourly rate for development. Please inquire.


RealAudio Server

All LiveZone Web server packages support Progressive Networks RealAudio file format for download to anyone with RealAudio browser capability or a compatible plug-in. This "free" RealAudio server protocol does not, however, provide the same quality streaming playback as the professional streaming audio and video server.

LiveZone has professional RealAudio audio and video streaming servers installed at co-location facilities at an Internet exchange point. You must arrange for your audio or video content to be mastered using the Progressive Networks encoding format; you may do this mastering yourself, or LiveZone can perform this mastering for you from your analog or digital recordings.

LiveZone's RealAudio studio mastering services start from $60 per hour, with a 1-hour minimum. You may also master your own RealAudio format, and FTP the masters directly onto our RealAudio server.

Please contact us at LZinfo @ LiveZone.com or 408.626.7007 to discuss your RealAudio project. RealAudio streams are priced based on the maximum number of simultaneous streams desired, as well as audio and video stream quality (bit rate). For example, 10 simultaneous audio streams mastered at 16kbps, in use 24 hours per day, would cost $40 per stream per month. Changing the bit-rate (from 16kpbs), utilization rate (from 24 hours/day), or number of simultaneous streams (from 10) would all affect the cost. We'd be delighted to discuss your project. Give us a call.


Secure Transactions (SSL)

LiveZone servers support SSL-encrypted Web pages for high-security and online commerce applications. Your clients will be assured that they're dealing with your genuine Web site, and you'll know that your secure Web pages can't be read by anyone but you and your clients; encrypted Web pages can't be "hacked" as they pass across the Internet.

Our servers can support certificates from any current Certificate Authority (eg., Verisign and Thawte). We can help you obtain a new certificate, or install one you already have. Our multi-processor Web servers will ensure that security won't slow down your Web site. Find out more about Secure Transactions (SSL) in our SupportZone.

Setup charge - for year: $200 for Certificate generation and installation.
Each additional renewal year is $100. Certificate Authority registration and documentation charges are not included, and vary between Authorities.


Electronic Mail "POP email" Accounts

You can send and receive email through your own password-protected POP3 account (as used with Eudora, Netscape, Explorer). This gives you your own custom Internet email address yourName@yourDomain.com.

Email Self-administration Monthly maintenance charge: $1.50/month per POP/IMAP accounts for in excess of your existing package(s)
$5.00/month per mailinglist account for in excess of your existing package(s)
Email alias and auto-forwarding - $1.50/month for an additional 10 aliases

Our mail server can automatically forward received mail to any email address you desire. For example, email addressed to info@yourDomain.com or sales@yourDomain.com can be forwarded to your regular email address, either on the LiveZone server, or another Internet service provider (eg., Earthlink, Pacific Bell DSL, AOL, etc).


Web Site Activity Reports

LiveZone offer a package of comprehensive Web Site activity reports. We use Webtrends for the on-demand reports. Do you need to know where your users are coming from? What's popular? When? Which browser versions they're using? Updated daily at midnight, these reports are immediately available to you as on-demand pages that can be saved as Excel or Word or HTML. They'll let you can track Web site activity on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. And best of all, you can access them whenever you want, using your regular Web browser.

Monthly charge: No charge with all LiveZone Web site packages
One-time setup charge: No charge with all LiveZone Web site packages

Should our standard activity reports not meet your needs, we'd be pleased to assist you in developing a custom report facility. (These could include up-to-the-minute or threshold-based report generation.)

Setup or modification of custom report: hourly rate for development. Please inquire.


FTP Site

Your private FTP site has its own host name, (eg., ftp.yourDomain.com), and includes a password-protected administrative account. Public access to your FTP site can either "anonymous", or require password-protected usernames. We'll email you monthly reports so you can monitor your FTP site activity. Your FTP site will "borrow" the storage and transfer allowances of your regular Web site, and additional allowances will be billed at our regular supplemental site storage and activity rates.

Monthly server maintenance charge: $10
One-time setup charge: $30


Choosing Your "Address" on the Internet

www.yourName.com
www.yourName.edu
www.yourName.org

You can have your own Internet address ("domain name"). All domain names must be registered with the Internet administrative agency. Because they must be unique, it's possible that some other organization has already reserved your first choice. Our DNS services also include definition of the MX (mail exchange) for your domain's email routing. You may provide us with a domain name you've registered yourself, or we can search and register a name for you.

With LiveZone Basic, Plus, Premier, and FTP site packages:

  • Monthly DNS maintenance charge: no charge
    • One-time DNS setup charge: no charge

    Other applications:

  • Monthly DNS maintenance charge: $10
  • One-time DNS setup charge: $25
  • Assistance with domain name selection & registration: $100 (plus our low rate of $50 for 2 year registration fee)

    yourName.livezone.com

    Adding yourself to the LiveZone domain is simpler and less expensive. Using this type address, you'll save money by avoiding the InterNIC fees required to have your own domain, and you can choose almost any name you'd like - InterNIC has given away more than 1,000,000 domain names (as of April 1997), and the one you'd like to have may already be taken.

    Static IP Address (eg., 256.300.150.21)

    We can assign a static IP address on our server that allows you to use any of LiveZone server's Internet services (Web, FTP, email, etc). Your Internet address will be the IP number we assign you. Your site can't be searched from Internet DNS tables, but can be used by anyone that knows the IP address. Static IP addresses are ideal when:

    • You need stand-alone development or test environments for FTP or Web.
    • You're using some of our Internet services, but maintaining your domain's DNS tables yourself or at another service provider.

    Monthly savings compared to using a domain name: $5
    One-time savings compared to your own domain name: $20 (plus DNS registration fees)


    Server Administration & Changes - Web, FTP, DNS, email

    Special requests for administrative changes not specifically listed elsewhere in this price list are performed on a time-and-materials basis. Such changes include: lost password, user name changes, customizing virtual server configuration, copying Web content from floppy-disk or ZIP drive, correcting file-permissions, performing file conversions, restoring files from our backups, and so on.

    Administrative changes must be requested either by fax or email to webmaster@livezone.com. Each request should specify the work to be performed, and the maximum dollar amount authorized to be charged; we'll inform you if the requested work would exceed the authorized dollar limit.

    Administrative changes: $60 per hour (billed in 10-minute increments)


    Supplemental Site Storage and Activity

    We charge for your use of server disk storage. Storage for all Web, FTP, and email facilities for each client is combined, and is charged in increments of megabytes (MB) per month or fraction of a month. Each Web site and FTP site package provides a maximum storage allowance; allowances vary between packages. Storage in excess of your standard package allowance is available if needed. Should your requirements significantly exceed your standard allowance, you should arrange for your additional allocation in advance of your need.

    First Extra 100 MB Web, FTP, or email storage allowance: $0.40 per MB per month
    Additional 100 MB Web, FTP, or email storage allowance: $0.20 per MB per month

    We charge for your use of Internet communications links to send and receive data. Transfer for all Web, FTP, and email facilities for each client is combined, and is charged in increments of megabytes (MB). Each Web site and FTP site package provides a maximum data transfer allowance; allowances vary between packages. Transfer in excess of your standard package allowance is available if needed. Should your requirements significantly exceed your standard allowance, you should arrange for your additional allocation in advance of your need.

    Extra 1 MB Web, FTP, or email transfer allowance: $0.10 per MB
    Extra 100 MB Web, FTP, or email transfer allowance: $7 per 100 MB (30% discount)
    Extra 1,000 MB Web, FTP, or email transfer allowance: $35 per 1,000 MB (65% discount)

    We charge for the transaction-load you impose on our servers; each transaction "server-hit" corresponds to a CGI execution fork or a request made to the httpd or ftpd server on an IP address attributable to your Web or FTP site. You get 2000 free server-hits per 10 MB of data transfer, based on the data transfer allowance of your Web site or FTP site package, plus any additional transfer purchased (see above); additional server-hits are charged in increments of 1000 hits. We've found that in normal use, our clients don't exceed this standard allowance.

    Extra Web or FTP server-hit allowance: $0.25 per 1000 hits in excess of allowance
