DNS
Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses.
IP addresses
IP address is short for Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or
device on a TCP/IP network.
Domain
Domain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name
microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify
particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html the domain
name is pcwebopedia.com.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is defined as a range within a band of frequencies or wavelengths. Bandwidth is also the
amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is
usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second.
HTML
Short for HyperText Markup Language, the authoring language used to create documents on the World
Wide Web.
Cookies
The main purpose of a cookie is to identify users and possibly prepare customized web pages for them.
When you enter a website using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information
as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your browser which
stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same website, your browser will send the cookie to
the server. The server can use this information to present you with custom pages. For example, instead
of seeing a generic welcome page you might see a page that welcomes you by name or shows when you
last visited the site.
Cache
Pronounced cash, a special high-speed storage mechanism. Cache can be either a reserved section of
main memory or an independent high-speed storage device.
Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs are hyperlinks on a webpage and refer to a specific website navigation technique.
Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally near the top of a Web page, providing links back to each
, previous page that the user navigates through in order to get to the current page. Basically, they provide
a trail for the user to follow back to the starting/entry point of a website and may look something like
this: home page > section page > sub section page
Plugins
A hardware or software module that adds a specific feature or service to a larger system. The idea is that
the new component simply plugs in to the existing system. For example, there are number of plug-ins
for the Netscape Navigator browser that enable it to display different types of audio or video messages.
Widget
Pronounced wih-jit. Widget is a generic term for the part of a GUI that allows the user to interface with
the application and operating system. Widgets display information and invite the user to act in a number
of ways. Typical widgets include buttons, dialog boxes, pop-up windows, pull-down menus, icons, scroll
bars, resizable window edges, progress indicators, selection boxes, windows, tear-off menus, menu bars,
toggle switches and forms.
Add-ons
Refers to a product designed to complement another product. For example, there are numerous add-on
boards available that you can plug into a personal computer to give it additional capabilities.
Apps
Short for application, the commonly used abbreviated form ("app") refers to a specific type of
application that is designed for a single purpose. An app has a single functionality whereas an
application may handle a number of functions.
Popups
A type of window that appears on top of (over) the browser window of a Web site that a user has
visited. In contrast to a pop-under ad, which appears behind (in back of) the browser window, a pop-up
is more obtrusive as it covers other windows, particularly the window that the user is trying to read.
Pop-ups ads are used extensively in advertising on the Web, though advertising is not the only
application for pop-up windows.
Browser
A software application used to locate, retrieve and display content on the World Wide Web, including
webpages, images, video and other files. As a client/server model, the browser is the client run on a
computer or mobile device that contacts the Web server and requests information. The web server
sends the information back to the browser which displays the results on the Internet-enabled device
that supports a browser.
URLs
URL is the abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator and is defined as the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web. To visit this website, for example, you'll go to the URL
www.webopedia.com.
