For £4 a month, you get five times as much storage space, five times as many mailboxes, five times as many SQL databases, and twenty times as much data transfer as the Steel package. You also get a whole bunch of extra features. Here's what you get with Copper that you don't get with Steel:
Support for Miva, Sun ONE ASP, RealAudio, Python and Perl.
A Webmail system, so you can check your mail from anywhere in the world.
A mail forwarding system, so you can have mails redirected to (for example) a Hotmail or GMail account.
Ten E-mail autoresponders.
Two different kinds of log file analysis, so you can see exactly who's coming to your site, how often and where from.
Up to ten subdomains - so you can have different parts of the site at different addresses, for example www.yoursite.com/blog becomes blog.yoursite.com.
Advanced directory password protection - for securing the areas you don't want the whole world to see.
IP address blocking, so you can ban specific computers or ISP's from your site.
Two kinds of spiffy discussion forum scripts.
Custom 404 and 500 error pages.
A Free-For-All links page (where anyone can add a link)
A webring system, to tie similar sites together and attract more traffic.
Logo Branding - a box that follows the user's scroll movements down the screen, into which you can place a logo or news.
Browser type detection - so if you have, for example, a site that relies on translucent PNG's, you can redirect your Internet Explorer 6 users to an alternative page.
Browser language detection - so you can redirect your worldwide users to different page translations.
Popup page script. Use it wisely.
As you can see, it's well worth the four quid we're asking.
The Copper Plus package comes with even more wonderful stuff! For an extra £2 per month, you get access to our Site Builder software and templates - a system so easy to use that your elderly relatives could create a site in an hour or two. You also get automatic installers for a variety of blog engines and content management systems.
Only £6 per month, or £60 for a year.
The eight quid Silver package is even more enticing.
