About WEBppliance
WEBppliance™ is packaged
with core Private Hosting server applications and features that allow you, as a
hosting provider, or corporate user to offer a full range of services to your
users. These services include a Web server, an FTP server, a DNS server, Mail
servers, and site security.

useful administration tools, such as a file manager to help you work with

administrative tasks. Depending on their role or assigned tasks, users may be
using WEBppliance on more than one level. The user levels include:
