You don’t have to use the host services bundled with your Internet Access. These are some reasons you may want to use ours instead.

Human Help

You will reach a knowledgable native English speaking caring human being in the United States. Support is available via ticket system, e-mail, or phone.

Independance

If you use your access providers e-mail or host services, you lose your e-mail and web address when you switch. With an Eskimo shell, you can switch providers or use multiple providers and retain the same e-mail address, web space, file space, and work environment accessible from anywhere in the world.

Security

Our services can be accessed with encryption. Securely access your data even over insecure facilities. Don’t travel with sensitive data on your laptop. Use a thin client to access a remote desktop and your data here over an encrypted communications session. If your laptop is lost or stolen, your data remains safe.

Stability and Reliability

We are using modern 64 bit Intel hardware, Linux, and current versions of applications to provide the most stable and reliable computing environment possible. Your data is backed up weekly. We are privately owned and have been under the same ownership since 1982 so you don’t have to worry about your services changing in a corporate takeover.

Save Money

Our service includes office applications, educational programs, web development facilities, program development facilities, communications facilities, engineering and scientific applications, games, and more. It’s included with the service so you don’t have to buy and keep these applications up to date.

Visual Shell

In addition to text-mode access via ssh, telnet, or rlogin, you can also get full graphical access to a remote desktop on our server using x2go, guacamole web, vnc, or rdp (all tunnelled over ssh encryption for security).
