WAN (Wide Area Network)
WANs offer ways of linking computers at different office sites, perhaps hundreds of miles apart, so that they can share information and specialised peripherals.
Web
The web is the common shorthand term for the World Wide Web.
Webpage
A document designed for viewing in a web browser. Typically written in HTML. A web site is made of one or more web pages.
The Email Shop offers great website or webpage design services at very competitive prices.
Bandwidth
The volume of data a line or channel can carry every second. Digital bandwidth is measured in bps (bits per second). The greater the bandwidth the quicker information can travel through it. Higher bandwidths are required for specialist applications like multimedia.
TheEmailShop offers unlimited bandwidth with its web hosting packages.
Website
The entire collection of web pages and other information (such as images, sound, and video files, etc.) that are made available through what appears to users as a single web server. Typically all of the pages in a web site share the same basic URL.
The term has a somewhat informal nature since a large organization might have separate “web sites” for each division, but someone might talk informally about the organizations’ “web site” when speaking of all of them.
Web browser
A software program that enables someone to surf the web. The two most common browsers are Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Netscape.
