Sub Domain Pointers
Sub domain name pointers resolve to the root level of your virtual server just like
your original domain name. Sub domain pointers are an excellent way to drive more
traffic to your website! Note: Domain pointers are to point to the main domain name,
these cannot be setup as individual web sites residing in sub directories of your
account.
Examples are http://mail.ssw.com.au, http://accounts.ssw.com.au
With the Bronze Hosting Plan your URL will appear as http://www.ssw.com.au/YourDomainName
Data Transfer / Hits
Any outward-bound traffic from your web site is considered data transfer. For example,
each time a html file, image, or other element on your web page is loaded, data
transfer is generated.
SSW does not host any "adult" or "warez" web sites.

Disaster Recovery
SSW has three Back-Up Options
- Standard
SSW servers are configured with a RAID 5 Array. If any hard drive should fail, the
data will be stored across the other remaining drives. - On-site
We will configure SQL Agent to perform backups of the data (weekly) and log files
(daily) onto the local PC. This means if you get a corruption SSW can restore the
prior version of the data. - Off-Site
We will take your back-up off-site on a weekly basis. This mean if a serious error
occurs like a double hard disk failure then SSW can restore the last off-site backup.
Please note: SSW Disaster Recovery only covers DATA. SSW does not provide back-ups
of your application unless it was developed by SSW.
