Why choose Square One Personal Internet Server?

It saves you time.

If you're equipping a home or small office network for the first time, don't waste time shopping for network storage, a broadband router, a print server, and a Web server. Instead, get Square One and get all of those functions in one box.

With Square One, you'll also save time by not having to figure out how to get your router to talk to your NAS box, or how to configure your firewall to allow access to the NAS from the Internet. And, if you aim to host a web site, Square One will save you all the time you would have spent installing web server software on a PC.

It gives you total access.

With Square One directly connected to your broadband modem, you'll have complete, secure access to your files on Square One from any computer that has an Internet connection, anywhere in the world, right out of the box. You'll be able to download and upload files using your choice of Windows Explorer, a browser, or an FTP client, and you'll have the same level of access as if you were connecting locally.

With other network storage products, you might be able to access them remotely—if you can configure your router to let you.

It puts you in control.

If you use a web hosting provider to host your blog or web site, you're at their mercy. You never know when the server might go down, or for how long. They might not tell you before they decide to upgrade some key software, and suddenly your site doesn't work anymore. On the other hand, setting up and running your own web server isn't exactly a walk in the park.

Put your site on Square One, and you'll be in control of your own destiny. With industry-standard Apache Web Server, PHP, and MySQL software pre-installed, Square One can handle even the most advanced web sites with ease. And reliably, since we fully test every software upgrade before releasing it.

One more thing: if you don't have a static IP address—don't worry about it. Square One features a built-in Dynamic DNS client, so you can use our (or a third-party provider's) DDNS service to keep a domain name pointed at your Square One, automatically, no matter how often your IP address changes. So you can run the web site you always wanted, even with residential Internet service.
