For Developers and Network Engineers:

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.

FEATURE SUMMARY

BUILT-IN INTERNET PROTOCOLS

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)

A MYRIAD OF FEATURES - ONLY ONE SERVER

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

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.

WebCrossing Neighbors was our solution of choice for creating a social networking online community because of its rich feature set, talented professional services and the architecture. The front end look and feel was delineated from the backend database which is not only good development practice, but lends itself well to integration with other front end systems.
