Your iPartner.net Virtual Server will allow you establish an Internet presence with a high speed connection at a fraction of the cost. Normally, to establish a presence on the Internet would require you to purchase a high speed Internet connection, costly equipment, and even a support staff. With the iPartner.net Virtual Server System you get the Internet services you want without the worries and costs of an Internet connection and your customers will not be able to tell the difference.

Without our virtual server technology you normally would have to do the following to establish a presence on the Internet for your company:

1. Purchase a lease line or frame-relay circuit from your local common carrier (such as US WEST) from your office to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. Purchase a high speed CSU/DSU (a device similar to a MODEM) for your office and maybe a second CSU/DSU for your ISP.
3. Purchase a high speed router (a networking device used for converting the signal you get from the CSU/DSU into something your server can use) for your office and, again, maybe for your ISP.
4. Purchase Internet bandwidth from your ISP.
5. Purchase an Internet server computer for your office configured with a good amount of memory, disk storage and a tape backup system.
6. Purchase and install a server operating system (such as UNIX or Windows NT) for the server above.
7. Purchase and/or install web server software, FTP, and electronic mail software on the Internet server above.
