Advanced Developer Tools

• Use Perl output monitor and syntax checker to check your documents
• Work on our server as if it was your own with shell access via SSH
• Create your own CGI scripts for website optimisation

As well as standard CGIs such as visitor numbers and guestbook, 1&1 also offers you the choice of free CGI programming. As a true professional, you can write your own CGIs or adapt ready-to-use programs from the Internet. PHP script language can also be used on 1&1 WebHosting servers, and it offers you all the opportunities of dynamic page creation.

Use the Perl Script Output Monitor to check the output of CGI scripts written in Perl. Choose HTML, which is then formatted and displayed appropriately by your browser, or pure text, not affected by the browser.

The Perl Syntax Checker is used to check Perl scripts for syntax errors. This is an invaluable aid in the development of CGI programs for external servers.

The high point of 1&1's Power Tools for developers! You can work on our server as if in your own environment! Easily edit and start programs and analyse the output directly.

You can determine a domain or sub-domain to run under this type of connection. If personal details such as credit card numbers have to be sent, you can have the data transmitted using this link. The SSL code on this domain allows only you and the recipient to read this information. As a 1&1 customer, you can use SSL coded data transmission at no additional cost!

It's possible to automate recurring program sequences using Cron Jobs. This gives you even more freedom in designing an interactive website. Enter the individual call-ups and the corresponding time intervals in a central chart. Administrate, for example, programs that the server has to start at specific times, or record your details for an automatic mailshot.
