Welcome to Webspawn, you have questions, we have the answers!





Let's start with the most common question. Why do I even need a Web page?

Answer. That really depends on your situation, is it going to be for personal use, or buisness oriented? Let's take a look at the first answer.
There are thousands of people a day putting up new web pages, maybe it pertains to a certain hobby, arts, entertainment or just personal enjoyment and satisfaction. Maybe you have family that is situated all across the world and you would like a type of central meeting place, where you can post family photos and exchange information and email. You might be an automobile fanatic and find many other people who share your love for 1967 Firebird convertibles, and therefore can exchange information and tips with them through your Web Page.
Whatever your individual case is for a personal Web Page, it is almost ALWAYS 100% usefull and fun.

Now let's take a look at the second option. Hopefully at this point you have read are "About" section, if not let me bring you up to speed. There are close to 18 000, (yes that number is correct) buisness oriented Web Pages going up a day, that's about 1 every 14 seconds! So why are you not listed? Either you are slow to adapt to information technology and use it to harness the power that it can do for you, or the Internet scares you.
Whatever the case may be, WebSpawn is here to help.
Can you afford to loose all that revenue and buisness that the Internet brings? Could it be that your products and services are top of the line, and of the newest technology, but nobody knows about it?

Let us here at WebSpawn help!
We can support new idea's, product innovation, and even to the simplicity of on-line catalogs and ordering!


The Technical FAQ's



Security concerns for Personal Home Pages

Most of what you hear about break-ins and sabotage on the Internet is sort of hyped up a bit. This does not mean that you should ignore it, but take reasonable steps to safeguard your site. Don't lose sleep over it...


If We have learned anything during the past 4 years it is that you are the greatest security threat to your own systems! Let's see...
  • Erasing files which you thought were backed up.

  • Making a quick change that was so simple it did not require testing.

  • Doing something for Company X's system- while in fact logged on to Company Y's.

  • Running system crippling applications during business hours.

  • Too much coffee.

  • More likely, too little coffee!

My point is that if somebody is going to trash your site it is most likely going to be yourself! Here are some tips for protecting your site.

  • Never make changes or deletions unless you have a backup!

  • Never share your password- two people knowing a secret is not a perfect secret.

  • Do not believe for a minute your safety extends beyond somebody's lack of interest in trashing your site.

  • Do not spam (flood) newsgroups with ads for your site- unless your site is of meaning to that group. Why give somebody that level of interest mentioned above?

  • Don't put a dumb message up like, Welcome to the Invincible- Hacker-Proof Site

  • Check all Server Side Includes and CGI-BIN programs for problems- such as allowing the passing of exec or special shell characters.

  • Drink just the right amount of coffee to get the job done.
At Webspawn we use some of the STRONGEST security issues and protection schemes so that everyone gets a little more sleep every night.
  • Authentication allows clients to make sure they are communicating with the correct server. This prevents any computer from impersonating your server or attempting to appear secure when it isn't.

  • Encryption scrambles the transferred data so that any eavesdroppers won't understand the information.

  • Data integrity verifies that the data sent between client and server wasn't altered during transfer. That is, it can tell if anyone has added or removed data.
