Summary:

This plan is designed for small businesses who require basic high-speed Internet connections for 1-4 computers at a single location. If you are interested in a simple connection, without all of the extra features like a custom Web site, or a dedicated domain, this plan is for you. This plan can be upgraded easily to include those extras, see the prices below. We include the supply of the necessary modem and basic network router.

Included:

The following features are part of this plan.

• 5 Mailboxes @govital.net
  You can access 5 mailboxes, each with a 50 MB size limit, from a Web browser or from a mail reading program that supports POP mail retrieval.
• DSL Modem/Switch or Wireless Subscriber Unit
  A DSL modem (with 4 port switch) or Wireless Network Subscriber Unit with antenna is included with no extra rental fees.
• LAN Switch
  A Local Area Network switch to support up to four computers will be provided if you don't already have one.
• NAT Router
  A basic firewall router, if necessary, is included with no extra rental fees.
• Provisioning of DSL Line or 2.4 GHz Subscriber Unit
  Depending on your location, you will be serviced through ADSL over your telephone line or via 2.4 GHz radio link. Check for DSL Availability.
• Usenet News Feed
  You can read articles from thousands of Usenet news groups.
• Dynamic IP Address
  The network router will be assigned a unique IP (Internet) Address upon connection, but this address may change between connections, and cannot be used to configure permanent Internet server applications at the customer site.
• Basic On-Site Installation
  A govital technician will visit your premise and install and test the modem, acess point, network router, and/or network switch. The customer is responsible for connecting computers to the network switch.

Options:

The following options can be provisioned separately to make your connection more powerful.

• $16.95/month additional: Domain Name Service, Domain Name Registration and Web Hosting (2 GB monthly transfer limit)
• Access to the authenticated SMTP relay server which allows you to send outgoingmail from a non-govital connection is an extra $4.99 per month. This is useful for travellers who frequent hotspots with mobile computers.
• $24.99/month additional: One static IP address, which means that your computers will always have the same address so you can run applications like on-line video conferences more easily.
• $3.99/month additional: Enabling the MySQL database system for your hosted Web site. This will allow you to combine the power of the programming tools in our Web server with a back-end database to store data and build more a more sophisticated Web site.
• $149.99/year additional: Creation and registration of an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate for your Web site. This allows you to easily encrypt transmissions going in and out of your Web site so that you can handle sensitive information over the Internet with more protection.

Notes:
