   Can I configure MIME types ?

On all Linux Hosting Accounts, you can configure MIME types using .htaccess file. When you configure MIME types in your .htaccess file, you associate file types with a specific application or action.

e.g.  AddType application/x-shockwave-flash swf

AddTypespecifies you are adding a new mime type
application/x-shockwave-flash is the actual mime parameter
swf is the extension of the file type

You need to upload .htaccess file in your home directory using FTP
