Auto Responders
This is a great function that enables you
to automatically send a customized message to everyone that
sends you email. This is a great way to confirm to the sender
that the email was delivered safely. They can also be used
to send an automatic reply when you go on vacation.

Backup
Backup is the activity of
copying file or database so that they will be preserved in case of
equipment failure or other catastrophe. Backup is usually a routine
part of the operation of large businesses with mainframe as well as
the administrators of smaller business computers. For personal
computer users, backup is also necessary but often neglected. The
retrieval of files you backed up is called restoring them. [top]
BandWidth
Bandwidth (the width of a band of electromagnetic frequencies) is used to mean
1) how fast data flows on a given transmission
path, and
2) the width of the range of frequencies that an electronic signal occupies on a given transmission medium.
Any digital or analog signal has a bandwidth.Generally speaking, bandwidth is directly proportional to the amount of data transmitted or received per unit time. In a qualitative sense, bandwidth is proportional to the complexity of the data for a given level of system performance.
Traffic
Is the free allowed GB (1024 megabytes) can the visitor's browser download from our servers to process and show you. also include the FTP transactions. for example if you have the 20k html page then 50,000 visit of this page will generate 1 GB traffic. [top]
Catch-all Email Account
A lot of hosts offer a
"Catch-all" Email account. This means that when someone sends an
email to anyone@yourdomain.com, it will go to you by default. This
way, you can have, for example, sales@yourdomain.com,
support@yourdomain.com, webmaster@yourdomain.com, and so on - with
all of it going to the email account you specify in your Account (or
domain) control panel. This is especially useful when a user makes a
typo (or error) in the email address - as long as they get the
domain name correct, you will get the email. [top]
CGI (Common Gateway Interface)
CGI, which everyone uses for
short, stands for "Common Gateway Interface." It provides a common
method of running an executable program, usually written in Perl or
C/C++, from a web site in order to generate dynamic content. [top]
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Cascading Style Sheets are used
to add more functionality to simple HTML
pages, and contain styles and other information that can be passed
on to other HTML pages in a web site. Internet Explorer 3.0 and up
support a good portion of CSS, while Netscape 4.0 and up supports a
small amount of CSS. Unfortunately, a fully compliant browser does
not yet exist for CSSs. [top]
Dedicated IP
CDedicated IP give some options to the virtual account like "Anynomouse FTP" and give ability to install customer SSL cert and creating personal name servers. [top]
Domain Name
A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. For example, the domain name "www.hostsearch.com" locates an Internet address for "hostsearch.com" at Internet point 199.0.0.2 and a particular host server named "www". The "com" part of the domain name reflects the purpose of the organization or entity (in this example, "commercial") and is called the top-level domain
name. The "hostsearch" part of the domain name defines the
organization or entity and together with the top-level is called the second-level
domain name. The second-level domain name maps to and can be thought of as the "readable" version of the Internet address.
A third level can be defined to identify a particular host server at the Internet address. In our example, "www" is the name of the server that handles Internet requests. (A second server might be called "www2".) A third level of domain name is not required. For example, the fully-qualified domain name could have been "hostsearch.com" and the server assumed.
On the Web, the domain name is that part of the Uniform
Resource Locator(URL) that tells a domain name server using the domain name
system (DNS) whether and where to forward a request for a Web
page. The domain name is mapped to an IP address
(which represents a physical point on the Internet). [top]
Domain Name System (DNS)
The domain name system (DNS) is
the way that Internet domain
name are located and translated into Internet
Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address.
Because maintaining a central list of domain
name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of
domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the
Internet in a hierarchy of authority. There is probably a DNS server
within close geographic proximity to your access provider that maps
the domain names in your Internet requests or forwards them to other
servers in the Internet. [top]
Email Forwarding
Many users are more comfortable with using the email forwarding then setting up a full pop3/smtp email account. Email forwarding works in a simple way. You specify the email account you want forwarded (name@yourdomain.com) then the email account you want to receive the email, normally it’s your ISP (name@yourisp.com). All email that is sent to name@yourdomain.com will be sent to name@yourisp.com, when you are checking your ISP mail you can also receive your domain email.
Front Page Extentions
Front Page Server Extentions are
server side programs that are used to enable users of Front Page to
use its special components, or "Web Bots." Although the extentions
can be installed on a Unix server, they are generally found on
Windows NT servers. [top]
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is a method
of transferring files between one computer and another in
a different location. FTP access is usually necessary to be
able to upload files to your web server. An FTP client program
(such as CuteFTP, WS-FTP, or Fetch) is required to access
an FTP server. [top]
HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup
Language. It is not a programming language but rather a group of
specific commands that enable you to add markup to your text, such
as font faces and colors, inline images, and other features for
displaying a web page. Its most common use is for web pages. [top]
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol -
the protocol used to transfer hypertext, or HTML web
pages, on the World Wide Web (WWW). [top]
IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.
In the most widely installed level
of the Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) today, an IP address is
a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver of
information that is sent in packet across the Internet. When you
request an HTML page or send e-mail, the Internet Protocol part of TCP/IP
includes your IP address in the message (actually, in each of the
packets if more than one is required) and sends it to the IP address
that is obtained by looking up the domain name in the Uniform
Resource Locator you requested or in the e-mail address you're
sending a note to. At the other end, the recipient can see the IP
address of the Web page requestor or the e-mail sender and can
respond by sending another message using the IP address it received.

MySQL
MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. SQL, Structured Query Language, is a standardized language that makes it easy to store, update and access information. For example, you can use SQL to retrieve product information and store customer information for a web site. MySQL is also fast and flexible enough to allow you to store logs and pictures in it.
The main goals of MySQL are speed,
robustness and ease of use. MySQL was originally developed
because we needed a SQL server that could handle very large
databases an order of magnitude faster than what any database vendor
could offer to us on inexpensive hardware. We have now been using
MySQL since 1996 in an environment with more than 40 databases
containing 10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have more than 7
million rows. This is about 100 gigabytes of mission-critical data.

Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language)
Perl is an interpreter and a
script programming language that is similar in syntax to the C
language and that includes a number of popular UNIX elements, such
as Borne shell, csh, awk, sed, grep, tr, and C. Perl is considered
as a good choice for developing Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs because it has good text manipulation facilities.
Perl, in short, is a popular
scripting -programming language that is commonly used for writing
CGI programs that are to be run from a web site. [top]
PHP (Personal Home Page Tools)
PHP is another scripting
language and interpreter, similar to JavaScript and Microsoft's VB
Script. It is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active
Server Page (ASP) which
runs only on Microsoft's Windows NT servers. PHP is freely available
and used primarily on Linux Web Servers. Like ASP, its commands are
embeded within the HTML of a
web page. The commands are later executed on the web server, making
it browser independant. The web browser only sees the resulting HTML
output of the PHP code, and does not need to do any real work
itself, fortunately, since different browsers display data
differently, at least for the time being. [top]
Pop3 Accounts
POP3 accounts use a username and password to log in and check collect your e-mails with the help of programs like Outlook and Eudora. POP3 accounts are managed using the control panel, providing you ease of use and flexibility. POP3 email can also be checked by using our browser based email program. [top]
Domain pointer
Domain pointer is additional domain point to the main domain name home page not to a folder on the main domain, without any FTP or Mail features. [top]
Python
Python is an interpreted,
object-oriented programming language similar to Tcl and Perl that
has gained adherents for its clear syntax and readability. It has
modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types,
and dynamic typing. Python is said to be relatively easy to learn
and portable, meaning its statements can be interpreted in a number
of operating systems, including UNIX-based systems, Mac OS, MS-DOS,
OS/2, and various versions of Microsoft Windows. [top]
SCSI
SCSI (pronounced SKUH-zee and sometimes colloquially known as "scuzzy"), the Small Computer System Interface, is a set of evolving ANSI standard electronic interfaces that allow personal computers to communicate with peripheral hardware such as disk drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, and scanners faster and more flexibly than previous interfaces. Developed at Apple Computer and still used in the Macintosh, the present set of SCSIs are parallel interfaces. SCSI ports are built into most Servers today and supported by all major operating systems, HardDrives use SCASI is faster than IDE drives. [top]
Shared SSL folder
For account cant or need not to have a full SSL folder, it in form https://SSLZone.NET/User/, user can FTP the folder and run CGIs help to move information in secure server. [top]
SubDomains
Subdomain levels can be used. For example, you could have "http://anything.your-domain.com". Together, "your-domain.com" constitutes a fully-qualified domain name. Subdomains cant take www. infront of it. Subdomains point to a subfolder in your main domain name like http://anything.your-domain.com will point to http://www.your-domain.com/anything/ . and finally subdomains can use its private FTP account which access the subdomain's subfolder only.[top]
SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH is a UNIX-based command
interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote
computer. It is a program to log into another computer over a
network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files
from one machine to another. It is widely used by network
administrators to control Web and other kinds of servers remotely.
[top]
SSI ( Server-Side Include )
A server-side include is a
variable value (for example, a file "Last modified" date) that a
server can include in an HTML file
before it sends it to the requestor. Then, the server will obtain
the last-modified date for the file and insert it before the HTML
file is sent to requestors. A Web file that contains server-side
include statements (such as the "echo" statement above) is usually
defined by the administrator to be a file with an ".shtml" suffix.
[top]
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
This is a term used to describe
a secure server. SSL is commonly used on sites that see products,
allow online ordering, and accept credit card information, keeping
it secure, encrypted, and private. [top]
Spam Blocker Very useful tool enable you to filter the incomming messages from certain address or have certain subject, you can add unlimited filters in all Sterlet Plans. [top]
Statistics, or Stats
Web site statistics provided
by a web host can tell you a lot about the visitors to your
site. Graphical statistics will give you charts and graphs
detailing your visitors' browser, where they came from,
how long they spent at your site, and more. Longhorn
Hosting provides access to statistics processed by Analog,
Webalizer, and more. [top]
Tcl (Tool Command Language)
Tcl is an interpreted script language that has become widely accepted in the industry. It is similar to C and other procedural-based languages. Tcl is actually two things: a language and a library. First, Tcl is a simple textual language, intended primarily for issuing commands to interactive programs such as text editors, debuggers, illustrators, and shells. Second, Tcl is a library package that can be embedded in application programs. The Tcl library consists of a parser for the Tcl language, routines to implement the Tcl built-in commands, and procedures that allow each application to extend Tcl with additional commands specific to that application. The application program generates Tcl commands and passes them to the Tcl parser for execution.
Tcl is comparable to
- Netscape- - JavaScript
- Microsoft's- -Visual Basic
- The UNIX-derived- -Perl
- IBM's- - REXX
[top]
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP.
TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The
higher layer, Transmission
Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets (see packet) that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message. The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets from the same message are routed differently than others, they'll be reassembled at the destination.
TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) is a method (protocol) used along with the
Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of
message units between computers over the Internet. While IP takes
care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of
keeping track of the individual units of data (called packet) that a
message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet.
[top]
Telnet
Telnet is used to connect one
computer to another computer. It is a program that lets you log into
a remote computer directly through the Internet and use it as if you
were there. Examples of telnet programs are EWAN (for Windows) and
NCSA (for Macintosh). More technically, Telnet is a user command and
an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers. [top]
Top level domain name
A top-level domain (TLD) is the
portion of a Uniform
Resource Locator (Uniform Resource Locator) or IP address
that identifies the general type of Internet domain, such as "com"
for "commercial," "edu" for "educational," and so forth. [top]
