Hosting Terms Glossary : A-D
/ E-J /
K-Z
Log files -- raw log files are a text based record of activity for a certain web account over a specified period of time. Raw logs will record various information about a site's visitors depending on the server's operating system. The time of visit, visitor's ip address, referring site, and visitor's browser type are usually included in most log files.
Machine name -- an optional (virtual) "server" name which may be added as a prefix to a domain name. For example you could setup http://computers.buy.com, where computers would be a machine name for the domain buy.com, to display files in a different directory or even on a different server than those seen by visitors simply entering the site via http://www.buy.com.
Nameserver -- see DNS server.
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) -- PGP is a software package used to send and receive secure, encrypted information via a public and private key system.
PHP -- a server-side scripting language used to create dynamic html pages on the fly. PHP is primarily used for advanced sites with a great need for user interaction and feedback.
Perl -- the most popular programming language used in conjunction with the web, perl is commonly employed for both everyday tasks, such as html based forms, and advanced task, such as backend database manipulation.
POP3 e-mail -- Post Office Protocol 3 e-mail allows e-mail to be sent to a specific alias at a domain name, such as john@johnsdomain.com. Once received, the e-mail is stored on the web server until it is retrieved by someone possessing the correct username/password combination. POP3 e-mail can be retrieved using one of many different types of mail programs such as Microsoft's Outlook or Netscape's Messenger.
Real Audio/Video -- media technology which allows audio and video files stored in the proper format to be played in real time. Previously the visitors would have to download the entire file before it could be played back on their computer.
Root access -- refers to the individual who administers to, or maintains root access for, a web server. Anyone who has root access to a server or program has full control over the object in question and may make any changes they wish.
Secure Server -- refers to a secure data connection between a user's browser and a web server. Secure server connections allow for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to be encrypted and transported safely over the internet.
SSI (Server Side Includes) -- an advanced hosting feature which allows cgi calls to be placed inside the html code of a web page. When a web browser begins to display the web page it sees the SSI call and accesses the referenced cgi program. The SSI call text inside the html document is then replaced with the output from the cgi program and the web page is displayed in the browser.
SSL certificate -- a certificate issued by an encryption technology provider, such as Thawte or Verisign, which allows for a secure server connection between a web browser and a web server with the SSL certificate installed. With a secure server connection a web site can collect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, from its visitors without risk.
Telnet -- a program which allows users to login to a web server and execute shell commands directly on the server.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) -- URL refers to the location of an object on the web. In most cases a site's URL is simply its domain name, however IP addresses can also be used to reach a site directly.
