About this site

The technology

The website is running on a VPS server with a 64-bit quad-core CPU and 512MB. We are using Slicehost as our VPS hosting company, and they have done an excellent job to date. The mail handling for botmanfamily.net is managed by Google with their Google Apps.

Apache is used to serve traffic on port 80 for botmanfamily.net. Technologies used to render pages are: Perl, server-side includes (SSI), and cascading style sheets (CSS).

All our server services are enabled with the Prasi system. Prasi is a piece of software which allows various "services" to use a common login system and data sharing (once you've logged in, all the services instantly know who you are). It can be likened to a home-grown MS-Passport clone. More information is available at the Prasi homepage.
