Detailed Urchin visitor statistics package.
POP e-mail accounts accessible via standard e-mail software or a web based interface for when you are traveling, to allow you to check your mail from any computer with an Internet connection.

While there are typically occasional problems with all Internet Service Providers—and Hostway is no exception—Hostway's website uptime guarantee is 99.99% which, when all is said and done, is the main feature to look for in a web host.
