WebCrossing Core is infinitely customizable, scriptable without limitation, massively scalable and is the most seamlessly cross-platform server anywhere
WebCrossing servers have always been famous for their amazing number of features and supported protocols. Stated simply, no other server product anywhere compares with WebCrossing in breadth of functionality, degree of standards and protocol support, scalability, cross-platform compatibility, extensibility, customization and scripting power, security, maintenance services and localization capability.
WebCrossing Core starts you off right - with all the major Internet protocols built-in:
- Full Web Services (HTTP/HTTPS)
- Email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP, Email Lists)
- File transfer (FTP, WebDAV and WebFiles)
- Newsgroups (NNTP)
- Inter-server Communications (XML-RPC)
Then WebCrossing Core gives you internal controls and plug-ins for dozens of out-of-the-box services and features, including:
- Discussion forums
- Access lists and security control
- Member accounts and user groups
- Chat
- Wiki webs
- Surveys and online quizzes
- Photo albums
- Blogs
- RSS and podcasting
- Academic tools
- Online databases
The list of
automatically installable plugin features goes on and on.
All of this works without any additional servers required, and no need to make use of your OS-level user accounts system. Everything is seamlessly cross-platform so you can easily switch between Unix (Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux), Windows or Mac OS X whenever your needs change. Or host with us and we will take care of everything for you.
When you grow, WebCrossing Core does too. With built-in support for distributed and mirrored servers in almost any configuration, your WebCrossing site can support millions of users without loss of speed and power.
But there is more! All the WebCrossing Core out-of-the-box power, all the features and all the services are just the tip of a huge iceberg of extensibility and possibility. Because underneath it all, waiting to be tapped by your designers and programmers, awaits a rich and powerful development system that lets you launch your site beyond all the standard capabilities, enabling you to create any site functionality, any Internet application, any interface, any service you can dream of!
