WEB CROSSING, INC. OFFERS NEW FREE WEB CROSSING EXPRESS
— Free, Integrated Web Crossing-based Web/Mail/FTP Server Platform runs on
Windows, Macintosh and Most Unix Operating Systems —
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 24, 2003 — Web Crossing, Inc. today announced
Web Crossing Express, a free integrated Web Crossing Web/Mail/FTP server
platform. Web Crossing Express runs on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris and other Unix operating systems providing Web, FTP and Email
(POP/SMTP/IMAP) servers in Web Crossing’s integrated environment.
“Web Crossing Express is a single integrated server platform for core site
functionality,” explained Tim Lundeen, president and CEO of Web Crossing,
Inc. “Web Crossing Express is a free server platform designed to replace
administration-heavy Apache/sendmail/IIS/Exchange, and offers superb server
functionality for Web, email, and FTP services. We’re also excited to
provide a way to experience our new, easier customization features.”
Built on the core Web Crossing engine, Web Crossing Express has all the
robust user access controls available in Web Crossing, plus the ability to
wrap HTML pages in Themes. With the ability to administer from any modern
browser, Web Crossing Express is easy to install and manage. Web Crossing
Express requires no operating-system-level user accounts, making it
ultra-secure and less prone to attack. Web Crossing Express includes its
own user database and essential HTTP, HTTPS, POP/IMAP/SMTP and FTP, plus
HTTP digest and basic authentication for private areas, allow/deny
connection control, and high-performance full indexed search.
Built-in and administrator-created themes make it easy to customize the
look of any Web Crossing Express site. Web Crossing Express includes the
new WebFiles mirroring system — a breakthrough paradigm for managing
server files by mirroring into the file system directly from a Web browser.
When used with the new built-in Web publishing feature, users can create
and edit entire home page directories via most modern browsers. All files
that are added or modified via WebFiles or FTP are automatically
synchronized in real-time. Web Crossing Express can be upgraded as needed
to Web Crossing, priced on a traffic-based sliding scale model, without
reinstalling.
