Glossary of terms:
Bandwidth
How much information can be carried in a given time
period over a wired or wireless communications link,
like the Internet.
Co-location
In general, co-location is moving or placing things
together, sometimes implying a proper order. On the
Internet, this term is used to mean the provision of
space for a customer's telecommunications equipment on
the service provider's premises. For example, a Web site
owner could place the site's own computer servers on the
premises of the Internet service provider (ISP). Or an
ISP could place its network routers on the premises of
the company offering switching services with other ISPs.
The alternative to collocation is to have the equipment
and the demarcation point located at the customer's
premises.
Control Panel
An administrative tool provided by some web hosts to
ease the maintenance of your hosted website.
Dedicated Hosting
The Dedicated Hosting environment provides an exclusive
server or servers devoted solely to your web site. You
do not share a server with other customers, as with
shared hosting.
DNS
The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet
domain names are located and translated into Internet
Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and
easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet
address.
Shared Hosting
Shared hosting is Web hosting in which the service
provider serves pages for multiple Web sites, each
having its own Internet domain name, from a single Web
server. Most web hosting companies provide shared
hosting. Although shared hosting is a less expensive way
for businesses to create a Web presence, it is usually
not sufficient for Web sites with high traffic.
Uptime
Uptime is a computer industry term for the time during
which a computer is operational. Downtime is the time
when it isn't operational. Uptime is sometimes measured
in terms of a percentile. For example, one standard for
uptime that is sometimes discussed is a goal called five
9s - that is, a computer that is operational 99.999
percent of the time.
