This should hopefully take you through some common networking terms and explain them.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line or ADSL. A popular and prevalent internet connection for home users in the UK.
IPTransit - an internet connection provided by a transit provider.
Atom is like traditional RSS, but with more options. Atom is still in development, but catching on. The technology is based on RSS. RSS powers this technology.
Bandwidth - The total of information you can send through a connection. Bandwidth is generally measured in megabits per second.
Blog - an online journal used by an individual or company to write about their life or services. Most bloggers update once a week, where blogs are chronologically arranged.
Broadband is a connection with more speed than a modem. It's a very generic term for an internet connection.
Co-location- where an ISP hosts an individual or company's server or hardware on their behalf.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration protocol distributes IP addresses dynamically to clients on a network.
DNS - Domain Name System, a mechanasim that takes a domain name and translates it into an IP address.
Domain name - a 100% unique combination of letters and numbers used to locate a website. Domain names have three sections to them- in the centre a dot, separing the name, and at the end a tld or domain ending such as .com.
Ethernet - a common networking method on a LAN. Several speeds are available.
Firewall - either hardware or software based to prevent access to another network for security reasons.
FTP - File transfer protocol, a common method transferring files around the internet promptly and easily.
Host - a computer on a network that has services available to other computers on the network, it can host just one or many different types.
HTTP - HyperText Transfer Protocol is used for moving hypertext files around the internet. HTTP is commonly known for loading websites.
IMAP is slowly replacing POP for accessing email. Using IMAP an email client program can not only retrieve email but can also manipulate content stored on the server, without having to actually retrieve the messages. IMAP allows for greater control over email as they can be stored, emailed etc and shared between groups where POP email can't.
IPv4 - Internet Protocol version 4, is the most widely used version of the internet protocol. IPv4 has a maximum of four billion IP Numbers (technically 232) but due to the way it was designed this is actually less than that due to some inefficiencies.
IPv6 is a new technology that allows for a greater amount of IP addresses.
LAN Local area network, which is normally defined as being within the same building or floor of a building.
Network - when two or more computers are connected together to share resources.
Where would a company find these services? An IP Transit provider would be able to cater for most of the services above.
