Project: Vhome
Welcome to Vhome.
Vhome is our newest and most exiting service; it will allow you to experience the internet in a new, more
useful fashion.
At present, the PPTP stuff we are talking about here is
still in beta, but you can still look; most of the info applies to the
people just wanting free hosting.
vrhome is not a ISP, but at it's core it's a service. You sign up for an account, download the client software.
You connect to your ISP in your normal fashion, then create a Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP) to
Vhome.
once you connect, you get:
10+mb of space in a drive mapped to your system that can be used to host a FrontPage (any version) website, FTP server or just off-site storage.
Encrypted Instant Messaging, with voice/video capability.
sysop-level access to our IRC server
Full messaging access through Microsoft Exchange Server (contact lists, calendars, web access, public & private folders & more).
Full access to our News Server
Full access to our anony-surf web access proxy; surf completely anonymously
free security certificates.
All communication is 100% encrypted.
Dynamic DNS: you can optionally host your own internet service on your own system (we'll help you set it up), when you are connected to us through the client, your computers URL would be "yourmachine.vrhome.com"; when you go off line, it defaults back to your hosted web site (or a subdirectory of it).
In the future we plan to offer:
User web auction support (you can create your own cgi now, but we plan to make it easy).
Easy (and free) e-commerce connectors.
Much, Much more.
The Cost? the bottom 60 pixels of any web pages you create have our banners on them; you can optionally place our ad banners at the top of your pages for a cut of the revenue generated.
