Therefore, if you wish for abc@mydomain.com to be forwarded to mydomain@mydomain.com, it is not necessary for you to set up an alias.

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. You can use your own CGI programs developed in any programming language such as Visual Basic or Delphi.

A dedicated server is a web server you purchase or lease for your use only. Typically, this gives you root access to install anything you like on that server, as though it were your own PC. More and more companies are purchasing their own dedicated servers in order to control their IT requirements with their own in-house specialist.

Web space, or disk space, is the amount of allocated storage you are given on your web hosting account. This allows you to store files, web pages, email, databases and graphics. Web space is always measured in MB (megabytes). This option can be easily upgraded if you are approaching your allocated amoun

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.

Microsoft® .NET is the Microsoft XML Web services platform. XML Web services allow applications to communicate and share data over the Internet, regardless of operating system, device or programming language. The Microsoft .NET platform delivers what developers need to create XML Web services and stitch them together.

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.

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 or WS-FTP) is required to access an FTP server.

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.

A Java servlet is a Java program that executes on the Web or HTTP server in response to requests from a Web browser. The Web server software uses Java Virtual Machine to run the servlet and generate an HTML page. The servlet takes input from a HTML page containing HTML input tags, processes it, and returns a HTML page with the results.
Java Servlets can be thought of as CGI programs in some respects. Both servlets and CGI execute on the server in response to HTML input. Thus both are limited to HTML and JavaScript's capabilities

JSP (JavaServer Pages) technology from Sun enable Web developers and designers to rapidly develop and easily maintain information-rich, dynamic Web pages that leverage existing business systems. This technology leverages the Java architecture and enables web developers to rapidly create Web-based applications. JSP is completely platform independent. JSP provides excellent server side scripting support for creating database driven web applications. JSP enables the developers to directly insert java code into jsp file, this makes the development process very simple and its maintenance also becomes very easy. JSP pages are efficient, it loads into the web servers memory on receiving the request very first time and the subsequent calls are served within a very short period of time

Microsoft's SQL database software which allows 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. Standard size of a database is 30MB (20MB DB, 10MB LOG. Languages such as ASP and ColdFusion can be used to query the data

Mini SQL, or mSQL, is a lightweight database engine designed to provide fast access to stored data with low memory requirements. The mSQL language offers a significant subset of the features provided by ANSI SQL. It allows a program or user to store, manipulate and retrieve data in table structures. It does not support relational capabilities such as table joins, views or nested queries. Although it does not support all the relational operations defined in the ANSI specification, it does provide the capability of "joins" between multiple tables.

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 2000 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.

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard or open application programming interface (API) for accessing a database. By using ODBC statements in a program, you can access files in a number of different databases, including Access, dBase, DB2, Excel, and Text. In addition to the ODBC software, a separate module or driver is needed for each database to be accessed. The main proponent and supplier of ODBC programming support is Microsoft.

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.

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.

These are fully individual email accounts which can be collected via client software (Outlook, Netscape or Eudora etc) and allow complete administration via the web. You can collect your email from any ISP, any location in any country, which makes it a dynamic and professional solution to email management.

PostgreSQL is a powerful relational database management system (rdbms) that is similar to Ingres. It is an enhancement of the original POSTGRES database management system, a next-generation DBMS research prototype. While PostgreSQL retains the powerful data model and rich data types of POSTGRES, it replaces the PostQuel query language with an extended subset of SQL.
