DrakNet's a personal and progressive small business featuring advanced, rock solid Linux hosting solutions for clients that want a company that strives to know their customers and care about their web sites. For ten years, we've catered to hard core geeks who need shell access and still code with Notepad, and now we've also become one of the most recommended choices for "newbies" and small/micro businesses who need Soholaunch Pro, a commercial grade content management system that allows you to have a web site without getting a degree in Internet Technology. We're experts on small business concerns because we are a small business. Read on for an introduction to our services, and the offerings we have that satisfy both geeks and newbies alike, and if you have any questions feel free to grab us on chat.

Intimidated? Can't design your way out of a paper bag? No problem!

One fully working copy of the powerful Content Management System Soholaunch Pro is included with every single hosting account (yes, resellers, for your clients, too), a $149 value. Soholaunch Pro is the only site builder on the market to have a Web Template generator, an easy-to-use Content Editor, a Drag-and-Drop interface, a robust Shopping Cart, a Blog system, and a Photo Album all combined and neatly packaged in one solution! If you don't know what you're doing, don't worry about it - Soholaunch does!

	Soholaunch Demo Login: http://soholaunch.drak.net/sohoadmin Username: soho Password: launch View site at: http://soholaunch.drak.net/ Soholaunch now works with IE, Firefox, Netscape, Slimbrowser, and AvantBrowser!

Geek to the core? We got you covered, too.

We feature advanced, rock solid hosting solutions that include support for PHP 5.X (with a 4.X toggle), Ruby on Rails, MySql, Perl, and SSH access on for the more technically minded. All servers run on high-end dual Xeon or Opteron processors with dual cores, advanced and configurable MailScanner spam and virus filtering, secondary DNS is at a geographically and topologically dispersed location, and for even more stability we offer steeply discounted Backup MX service if you need to be assured of no loss of email in the event of a problem - or just for folks that can't stand the mailing list services' "occassional" hard bounce. We do not outsource any aspect of hosting technical support, and all support is done in the US by English speaking natives.

For those not so familiar with Internet technologies, you can rest assured the server will do what you want with ease since all sites run on CPanel with Fantastico - giving you full control over your web site. Login to our Live Demo to see how easy it is to manage your site!

When you get in trouble, we have Live Support (just click on Mr. Happy Face in the upper right hand corner at the top of our site to see if we're available), a toll free number for commercial accounts, and an email ticketing system, just like the "big boys". Our active client community can't be beat!

Don't want to use Soholaunch, but know HTML and have no time to design a site from the ground up? Don't worry about it!

We also feature Templates Express, a series of static templates which you can install and immediatelly start using to build your web site even if you do not want to learn how to manage a Content Management System.

Templates Express is perfect for new, unexperienced users who want to have a standard website setup quickly and later develop it according to their needs. Templates Express is not a website editor! It will only install the templates and you will need to edit them using FTP or our onboard HTML Editor in CPanel!

Within your control panel, you have a full featured and encrypted file manager, enabling you to manage your web site through your browser from any computer, anywhere in the world! There is both an HTML code editor for you geeks, and for those of you that shudder at the idea of the word "code", we have the HTML Editor that looks like a word processor just for you folks.

Domain Names at $15 per year.
If you don't have your own domain name, you can get it when you order with us for just $15 per year through BulkRegister and we'll manage the domain for you.

Live Online Billing
Use of the Ubersmith billing software allows us to maintain your billing information live, and securely, also allowing you to log in at any time and check out what's been done. The program also emails you almost any time we sneeze in your billing account's general direction so you'll stay well informed.

Hosting with a mission...

We purchase energy from 100% renewable resources, choosing solar power only, as solar power has the absolute least impact on the environment. DrakNet does not purchase any wind energy. While wind energy is clean, it does have an impact on wildlife, as wind turbines have been called "the cuisinarts of the sky" and have had some negative impact on both birds and bats. While solar is more expensive, it is the most environmentally positive.

Female Owned Business
DrakNet is owned and operated by a woman, a feat considered almost as rare in this industry as running Windows for a year solid without having to reinstall anything. Flanked by big, burly geek men this enables us to not only provide comforting sympathy when things go wrong, but the power to wrestle ornery technology into submission in confrontations between man and machine.
