A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A
Access database
An easy-to-use database application that integrates with many Microsoft® Office
products. Access is a good choice if you want to use data from an existing
Microsoft Office product or if you do not have large amounts of data. All
Hostway Windows 2000 plans support Microsoft Access databases. You can connect
to your Access database using an ODBC connection (DSN connection) or a DSN-less
connection.
Affiliate Program
The Hostway program that enables organizations and individuals to collect a
commission for referring qualified clients interested in receiving Hostway
services.
Annual price
The cost for hosting for 12 months. You can sign up for a Web hosting account
annually, which enables you to secure your Web presence and obtain an annual
pricing discount.
Apache
An open-source Web server for Linux, Windows 2000 and other platforms.
Originally developed in 1995, Apache has become the most popular Web server in
use today, due to its powerful feature set and excellent performance.
Hostway's Linux platforms are available with Apache 1.3.x.
ASP
Active Server Page. An HTML page that contains scripts (VBScript or JavaScript)
that are processed by a Web server before the page displays to the user. ASP
pages end with the extension ".asp." Because ASP pages are dynamically
generated, they enable you to tailor, or customize, your Web content to the
customer.
ASP is a feature of Microsoft® IIS® (Internet Information Server) and is
supported by Hostway's Windows 2000 platforms.
Autoresponder
An automated email reply sent in response to each incoming message for a
specific email address. For example, you can use an auto-response to
automatically send every customer who contacts you via email a standard "Thank
You" email response.
For each email address/alias on your Hostway account, you can set up a different
auto-response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B
Bandwidth
Also referred to as your Monthly Traffic. The monthly measurement of data coming
in and out of the server, and specifically your Web site. Sites are given a
guide amount of potential traffic they can receive.
Bandwidth is measured in gigabytes (GB) and is calculated and recorded when a
file is downloaded. 1 GB of bandwidth provides approximately 100,000 hits (which
are individual requests for files including images, web pages and multimedia) a
month. Additional bandwidth can be added to your account as needed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C
Cart32
Our supported off-the-shelf shopping cart software that enables you to sell
simple goods easily and manage your shopping environment. You can customise the
system online using the easy-to-use browser-based interface. You can added this
feature to your existing hosting account easily via your control panel. For more
information on Cart32, visit http://www.cart32.com.
Catch-all email account
A type of email account designed to "catch" any email messages addressed to your
domain (@yourdomain.com) but not addressed to an actual POP3 email account or
email alias.
Every hosting plan comes with one catchall account as well as a certain number
of POP3 email accounts.
Certificate Authority
An organization that issues and manages security certificates that are used to
establish credentials and verify identities when performing electronic
transactions. See also SSL.
CGI Script
Common Gateway Interface Script. CGI protocol enables a Web page to run a CGI
program on a Web server. CGI scripts are used to supplement basic HTML to make
your Web site more interactive and functional. Hit counters, guest books, order
forms and many other useful features can all be programmed with CGI scripts.
All of our hosting plans provide you your own local cgi-bin directory, where you
can store custom CGI scripts that you have written yourself or found elsewhere
on the Web. Hostway's Linux plans include a free library of CGI scripts that you
can use to enhance your Web site.
ColdFusion
ColdFusion is a set of Web development products developed by Allaire, which has
recently merged with Macromedia. The ColdFusion development environment makes it
easy for you to build dynamic Web sites and Internet applications. With
ColdFusion, you can develop a site or application that pulls data from a content
database and then use templates to dynamically create Web site pages using the
content stored in your database. ColdFusion is often used to build ecommerce
sites.
Hostway offers ColdFusion version 5.0 professional and supports tags such as:
CFCONTENT
CFDIRECTORY
CFMAIL
CFX_IMAGE
CFQUERY
Control Panel
Hostway's Web-based control panel, SiteControl, is a complete account management
toolset that includes everything you need to create, maintain and manage the
many features that come with your hosting account. This powerful yet easy to use
application is included with every Hostway plan. Learn more about SiteControl.
Cron
A UNIX command used to schedule jobs to be executed at some time in the future,
typically on a periodic or regular basis. When used as a daemon process, the
cron runs continuously and executes in response to specified events.
Hostway approves the use of cron jobs on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration factors such as the resources that will be used.
Custom COM, DLL and CFX tags
With our selected packages it is possible to have custom code tags added to your
account. These could be ASP components or CF tags. As long as the component has
been written by a professional software house, we are happy to install it for
you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D
Data Center
A secure location for Web hosting servers that is specially designed to provide
physical and network security for servers and the data stored on them.
Hostway provides a Class-A data center carefully designed to avoid any single
point of failure.
Data Transfer per Month
Also known as your Monthly Traffic. Each time visitors access a Web page, image,
audio, video or other element on your site, traffic is generated. Your aggregate
traffic is the sum of all outward-bound, inward-bound, email and FTP traffic.
Your monthly traffic allowance is calculated as 31 times the daily traffic
allowance. Our daily data transfer allowances are high enough that most of our
users stay within the limit.
Dedicated Server
A server that provides services for only one account or domain. Hostway provides
both managed and unmanaged dedicated servers, as well as shared servers.
Disk Space
Also known as Web space. The amount of allocated storage you are given on your
Web hosting account. This enables you to store files, Web pages, email,
databases and graphics. Web space is measured in MB (megabytes). Hostway enables
you to upgrade your disk space if you are approaching your allocated amount.
DNS
Domain Name System. The system responsible for translating domain names into
numeric IP addresses. The DNS maintains a list of all the domain names and
distributes them throughout the world. See also IP address.
Hostway can assist you in registering and transferring your domain name.
Domain Alias
A domain name that points to another domain. Domain aliases enable users to
access the same Web site through a number of different addresses. For example,
many companies register several similar domain names (such as common
misspellings of their domain name) and then use domain aliases to have all of
the domain names point to the same site.
Hostway enables you to set up and use domain aliases.
Domain Name
The unique label that identifies a specific Web site, such as hostway.co.uk.
Typically, domain names convey information about a site and are easier to
remember than the associated numeric IP address. When a user types a domain name
in a browser, the DNS locates the registered domain name and translates that
into a numeric IP address.
Domain Name Registration
The process that must be completed before users can access your Web site. The
registration process involves two basic steps: Reserving your domain name and
then registering the domain name with the name server so that the IP address of
your domain name can be disseminated throughout the Internet.
Hostway can assist you with the domain name registration process.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E
Ecommerce
The term used to describe business transactions and communications conducted
over the Internet or through company networks. Common ecommerce transactions
include the buying and selling of goods, banking and ordering services online.
Hostway offers ecommerce hosting plans that enable you to quickly and easily set
up an online store.
Email Alias
An email alias is a “virtual” email account. It enables you to use an email
address that doesn’t really exist and have all the messages sent to that address
routed to a real email account. For example, you may want to provide a link on
your Web site that enables visitors to send email to the Web Master, who is
really you. You can use the email alias webmaster@yourdomain.com but have the
email routed to your real email account.
You can also use email aliases to overcome problems with duplicate email
addresses. If the email address you want to use is already taken, you can still
use it as an alias and then route the email to a valid address. Hostway enables
you to set up an unlimited number of email aliases.
Email forwarding
The feature that enables you to have email messages sent to one address
automatically forwarded to a different email address.
For example, you can specify that all email messages sent to you@yourcompany.com
be immediately forwarded to you@yourISP.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F
Flash and Shockwave
Flash and Shockwave are multimedia tools developed by Macromedia that enable you
to provide interactive presentations and Web sites, utilising the latest
streaming and audio technology. Our servers fully support .SWF files and MIME
associated with Flash and Shockwave.
FrontPage® Extensions
The set of files that provide FrontPage-based Web sites with extended
functionality, such as multi-user and remote authoring support, search features,
forms and usage analysis.
In order for you to use all of the features that come with Microsoft FrontPage,
FrontPage Extensions must be installed for your account. Hostway will install
these for you upon request.
Full-Text Catalogue
A type of Microsoft SQL Server indexing system that enables users to search for
and quickly retrieve static data.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. A method used to transfer files across the Internet. FTP
is typically used to upload and download files between your own computer and the
Web server hosting your site. FTP requires a valid user name and password.
Hostway provides you unlimited FTP access to your account 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, enabling you to set up, change or maintain your Web site at any
time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I
IP address
The unique number assigned to every computer linked to the Internet. Your ISP
provider assigns you an IP address each time you connect to the Internet. The
DNS converts your numeric address to your domain name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J
JSP
Java Server Page. A technology similar to ASP that enables you to embed small
programs, called servlets, in your Web pages. These programs run on the Web
server and modify the content of your pages before the page is sent to the user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L
Log File
A file that contains detailed information about your site's activity in raw Web
server format. The information in the log file enables you to perform advanced
site analysis and gain valuable marketing insights.
Every Hostway hosting plan comes with a Web-based log analyzer that provides a
comprehensive analysis of your raw log file. See also Statistics; Referrer Log.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M
MailMan
Hostway's Web-based tool for managing email lists. Email lists provide an
efficient way for you to distribute information about your services and products
to your customers and members.
Mailman provides your site's visitors a Web-based control panel for subscribing
and unsubscribing to lists over the Web. MailMan's control panel also enables
you to administer your lists from the Web.
Managed Server
A server whose software, hardware and operations are managed by Hostway's team
of system administrators. A managed server enables you to focus on your business
instead of day-to-day system administration tasks.
Merchant Account
A type of bank account that enables you to accept and process credit card
payments online. Merchant accounts handle fraud checks on each transaction and
manage the transfer of funds from your customer's credit cards to your bank
account.
You must have a merchant account in order to perform online credit card
transactions. Additionally, you will need an online payment gateway. In some
cases, these are included with a merchant account.
Merchant Compatibility
Hostway maintain a working relationship with some of the world's leading online
merchants such as WorldPay and NetBanx. We can help you obtain an account
enabling you to bill clients online and start trading. Our system and shopping
cart software is fully supported by all merchant banks.
META tag
A hidden tag in your HTML code that describes some aspect of your site. When
someone uses a search engine to find a Web site that provides information on a
particular subject, the search engine uses the information contained in your
pages' META tags to determine if your site is a "match."
Hostway provides a variety of tools that can assist you in submitting your
domain name to a number of search engines and generating effective META tags.
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft's SQL database software that enables high performance database
querying for larger-scale projects. We support version 2000 and allow you to
connect remotely via Enterprise Manager to edit and manage your databases. The
standard database size is 30 MB (20 MB database with a 10 MB log). Languages
such as ASP and ColdFusion can be used to query the data in your Microsoft SQL
Server database.
MIME
MIME, which stands for Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions, enables exchange
of different file types and formats over the Internet. We support most MIME
types including WAP, XML and streaming.
Monthly Price
The cost for a rolling hosting agreement, paid on a calendar month basis. When
you select the monthly billing option, you can cancel your contract at any time
and are free from penalty charges.
MySQL
A multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. MySQL offers speed, robustness
and ease of use. Hostway's MySQL databases are hosted on a dedicated MySQL
server, ensuring server resources are devoted to database processing for faster
performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N
Nameserver
A program that stores and tracks DNS information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P
Password Protected Directories
Directories that require visitors to submit a valid user name and password
before accessing the contents. These are frequently used for administrative
purposes or for secure date. Your control panel, SiteControl, makes it simple
for you to password protect directories.
Payment Gateway
A payment gateway is a service that connects your online store with your
merchant account provider. This service reads the information from the order
forms and translates that information for the merchant account. The payment
gateway also verifies that the customer’s credit card account has the necessary
credit available for the purchase.
Perl 5 Active CGI
Active CGI enables you to run Perl and CGI scripts from your local directory,
making it possible for you to install bulletin boards, form scripts or any other
scripts you wish. Active CGI means the code can interact with the server
extensions efficiently. See CGI Script.
PHP
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. An open-source scripting language and interpreter.
PHP is used primarily on Linux Web servers and is an alternative to Microsoft
Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.
PHP script is embedded within a Web page. The Web server calls PHP to interpret
and perform the operations specified in the PHP script. Web pages with embedded
PHP script can use the file extensions .php, .php3 or .phtml.
On shared servers, Hostway supports PHP running as a CGI binary. Dedicated
servers, however, can support PHP as an Apache module.
POP3
Post Office Protocol 3. A method of retrieving email from a server.
Hostway accounts provide POP3 mail boxes that you can access directly to
retrieve your email using Hostway's SiteMail or traditional email clients such
as Eudora, Outlook Express and Netscape Mail.
Private Label Program
The Hostway program that enables you to provide hosting solutions to your
customers without investing in the infrastructure and technology necessary to
maintain your own hosting platform.
Within the Private Label Program, Hostway is responsible for maintaining the
facilities, network, equipment, architecture, deployment and software for you.
You are responsible for marketing, sales, billing and support activity for your
customers. Because Hostway has no direct contact with your customers, you retain
the ownership of your customers.
Propagation
The process of notifying name servers around the world when your site location
changes to a new IP address or when you have registered a new domain name on the
Internet. Propagation can take up to 72 hours.
Hostway can assist you with registering and transferring your domain names.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q
QuickTime Streaming
Apple's system for delivering streaming digital media that works on both Mac and
PC. Hostway's servers fully support QuickTime audio and video streaming. We use
Dragon software to stream files to your visitors. Once you have created your
audio or visual file, just set up a streaming file through your control panel to
enable your visitors to listen to your broadcasts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R
Raw Log Files
Files that contain detailed information about your site's activity in raw Web
server format. By analyzing the log file, you can gain valuable insights that
will enable you to better market your site.
Every Hostway hosting plan comes with a Web-based log analyzer that provides a
comprehensive analysis of your raw log file.
RealAudio® and RealVideo®
The streaming audio and video delivery systems for the Internet developed by
RealNetworks. The system is client-server based, meaning both the browser and
the server must have RealAudio/Video components for it to work.
You can select a Hostway plan that enables you to deliver streaming multimedia
content to your site's visitors.
Referrer Log
The optional Hostway log that extends your ability to track how customers access
your site. When the Referrer Log is active, it logs not only the different
search engines but also the keywords visitors used to locate your site.
Registrar
A company that has been certified to register domain names. There are a limited
number of registrars permitted to access and modify the master database of
domain names maintained by InterNic. The organization ICANN is responsible for
certifying companies as domain name registrars. A registrar is not the same as a
Web host. Hostway can register your domain name with an accredited registrar for
you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S
Search Engine
A program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns a list of
documents where the keywords were found. Internet search engines use the
information contained in your site's META tags to generate an index of sites.
Well known search engines include Yahoo!, Excite, AltaVista and Google.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
A method of ensuring that information submitted through your Web site is secure
and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users. Information submitted via an SSL-secured
form is transmitted in an encrypted state. SSL is most commonly used for online
credit card transactions. See also SSL Certificate.
Setup charges
An up-front charge assigned to a specific hosting account or feature.
Shell Account
The most powerful type of account. These account types provide access to your
servers via FTP, POP3 and, with some plans, SSH. Master Users can transfer files
to and from the server, read and send email and log onto the server.
All hosting plans come with one Master User account by default. The default
Master User account typically has the same name as your domain. For example, if
your domain name is "sampledomain.com," your Master User account is most likely
"sampledomain." In some cases, such as when your domain name is particularly
long, the Master User name may be shortened or may differ slightly from your
domain name.
SiteBuilder
A Web-based, template-driven tool that enables you to quickly create a Web site
without learning HTML.
SiteChat
Hostway's "instant messaging" application that enables users to exchange chat
messages in "real time." When you add SiteChat to your Hostway account, you can
create customized chat rooms that can be used for customer help desks,
multimedia conference rooms, sales counters, distance learning centers and
online communities.
SiteControl
Hostway's Web-based account management tool set. SiteControl provides you with
all of the tools you need to create, maintain and manage the various features
that come with your hosting account. You can use SiteControl to set up and
manage email, monitor disk and bandwidth usage, analyze site activity, check
billing and account status, register and transfer domain names and set up and
manage your account users.
SiteMail
Hostway's Web-based tool that enables you to check your email messages through a
Web browser using HTTP. You can use SiteMail to check your email from any
location as long as you have a browser and an Internet connection. You can use
both SiteMail and traditional email clients such as Microsoft Outlook® to check
the same email account.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A protocol for sending email messages across the
Internet. It is used in conjunction with both POP3 and IMAP, protocols that
enable you to download messages from a mail server to your computer. SMTP is
used for outgoing mail while POP3 and IMAP are used for incoming mail. Hostway
does not support IMAP.
Spam
The term for unsolicited mass email, also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial
Email). Hostway strictly prohibits "spamming" using an email address that is
maintained on a Hostway computer or using any Hostway server.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer. A method of ensuring that information submitted through
your Web site is secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users.
Information submitted via an SSL-secured form is transmitted in an encrypted
state. SSL is most commonly used for online credit card transactions. When users
access a site secured with SSL using either Netscape or Internet Explorer, a
symbol displays in their browser windows indicating that the site is secure.
SSL Certificate
An SSL Certificate, or a digital certificate, is an electronic document that
contains the information necessary to establish a secure SSL connection. This is
nearly always a must for shoppers, and is usually indicated by a picture of a
padlock in the browser window—try https://www.hostway.co.uk. When SSL is used in
credit card transactions, the Web site collecting the credit card information
and the site to which the information is being transmitted must both have an SSL
Certificate.
A virtual or shared SSL certificate is an SSL security certificate you share
with other domains. A shared SSL certificate is included with our hosting
packages, meaning you can easily add security to your Web site by using SSL.
For larger companies we offer dedicated SSL or private SSL, also available via
the control panel.
Statistics
Detailed information regarding your Web site, including the number of hits, the
source of those hits, most popular pages and amount of data transferred, as well
as other useful information.
Hostway's detailed Web site activity reports provide statistics in both raw
numbers and graphical format, grouped by weeks, days and hours.
Sub-domains
Also known as a third-level domain. Domain names are composed of at least two
levels, a top-level domain and a second-level domain. The top-level domain is
the suffix or extension attached to Internet domain names (for example, .com,
.net and .org).
A second-level domain (SLD) is the portion of the URL that identifies the owner
associated with an IP address. For example, "hostway.co.uk" is a second-level
domain, as it includes the domain name "hostway-uk" and the top-level domain
"com."
If you need to further distinguish your second-level domain name, you can use a
third-level domain name, or subdomain, such as "resources.hostway.co.uk."
Typically a third-level domain name is used to refer to different servers within
different departments of a company.
Hostway's plans enable you to set up subdomains.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T
Temporary URL
The URL provided to you so that you can upload and test your site while you wait
for the domain name registration and transfer period to complete. Your temporary
URL is just another way of accessing your site. Once the propagation period
completes, no special action is required in order to start using your domain
name—all of the Web site files you uploaded using your temporary URL will still
be in place and nothing will have changed. You can find your temporary URL on
SiteControl's Home page. The temporary URL is valid for 30 days.
Traffic
Each time visitors access a Web page, image, audio, video or other element on
your site, traffic is generated. Your aggregate traffic is the sum of all
outward-bound, inward-bound, email and FTP traffic.
Your monthly traffic allowance is calculated as 31 times the daily traffic
allowance. Hostway's daily data transfer allowances are high enough that most of
our users stay within the limit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U
URL
Uniform Resource Locator. The standard way to display an address on the World
Wide Web (WWW). For example, www.hostway.com.
Urchin
Urchin Advanced web statistics, provide you a closer look at your visitors
habits on your web site. With an intuitive interface you can analyse data by
date, track specific or filtered users, and also graph hits/page impressions and
all the usual features of log analysis, all in near real time..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
W
WAP
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) enables Internet files/Web sites to be
viewed via mobile devices such as phones and PDAs.
Web-based email
A method for accessing email messages through a Web browser using HTTP.
Hostway's Web-based email application SiteMail enables you to check your email
from any location as long as you have a browser and an Internet connection. You
can use SiteMail and traditional email clients such as Microsoft Outlook to
check the same email account.
Web Space
Web space, or disk space, is the amount of allocated storage you are given on
your Web hosting account. You use this space to store files, web pages,
databases and graphics. Web space is always measured in MB (megabytes). You can
easily upgrade and increase your Web space if you are approaching your allocated
amount.
Windows Media Streaming
Hostway's servers fully support Windows media through HTTP streaming protocol.
Once you have created your audio/visual file, just set up a meta file following
Microsoft's instructions (www.windowsmedia.com), enabling visitors to listen to
your media files.
WML
Wireless Markup Language. A language that enables text content of Web sites to
be presented on wireless devices such as cell phones and PDAs. WML is part of
WAP.
WYSIWYG
What You See Is What You Get. The term used for Web design applications that
display HTML documents on screen as they will appear in a Web browser. These
applications make it possible for you to create Web pages without learning the
HTML programming language.
SiteStudio, provided with all of Hostway's hosting plans, makes it easy for you
to design your Web site without learning HTML.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X
XML
Extensible markup language. A language used to structure content so that it can
be exchanged with different applications. Windows servers specifically support
Microsoft XML 4.0+ .
