Shared 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.
Why Modwest?
Five reasons to choose Modwest...Modwest proudly supports PHP4, PHP5, MySQL and many other popular technologies:
Load Balanced Hosting
Our shared hosting system is a load balanced cluster 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.Modwest OnSite
Login to your Modwest® OnSite with any browser to add new databases or hosting accounts, create new mailboxes or forwarding rules, manage your MySQL database, view detailed bandwidth and disk space utilization graphs and full website traffic analysis reports.

Not only can you choose from multiple versions of PHP, you'll also enjoy your own php.ini file to update whenever you like. Additionally, 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 and Wusage Website Traffic Statistics
Analyze your site traffic with graphs and charts and reports produced by Webalizer or Wusage, depending on your hosting plan. These statistics detail how much web traffic you have and where it's coming from, with detailed breakdowns.View a sample report View another sample report.

If you need more mailboxes than your plan includes, 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
Our most inexpensive hosting plan includes 10 Gigs of bandwidth usage per month. Assuming each page is 30k, 5 gigs allows for over 150,000 page views each month, more than enough for most websites. If you need more bandwidth, our other hosting plans offer even more. Data transfer beyond the amount included with your hosting plan is billed at 2 cents per megabyte.Shell Access

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.Backups
