| ANSWERS: What Is ? |
- What is a web site?
A web site is a group of interrelated web pages, written in HTML format. It is a home and/or location on the World Wide Web. These pages can contain graphics, text, audio, video and other dynamic and/or static materials. As with many Internet terms web site can be used interchangeably with other terms like home page and web page. You may hear someone refer to their home page when in fact they are talking about an entire web site. Some people may even refer to a web site as a web page even though a web page is just a single piece of a web site. The home page is the "front door" or entrance to the web site. The process of moving through a web site is called navigation.

- What is a URL?
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) describes the location and access method of a resource on the Internet. For example, the URL http://www.webnow.com describes the type of access method being used (http) and the server location which hosts the web site (www.webnow.com). All web sites have a URL.
One could say a URL is what a telephone number is to a telephone or a street address is to a house. Because web site URLs are sometimes long and hard to read, browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer have a bookmark or favorites feature which gives you the opportunity to save the URL of web sites you want to revisit.

|
- What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the address of a particular web site. In the URL http://www.webnow.com, webnow.com is the domain name. An organization called InterNIC registers domain names for a small fee and keeps people from registering the same name.

- What is InterNIC?
The Internet Network Information Center (a.k.a. Network Solutions) is a repository of information about the Internet. It is divided into two parts: Directory Services and Registration Services. Here you can register your Domain Name (URL), registration costs $70 and involves filling out several technical forms.

- What is DNS?
Domain Name System is a database system that translates an IP address into a domain name. For example, a numeric IP address like 207.219.116.4 is converted into netlingo.com. The DNS is a static, hierarchical name service which uses TCP/IP hosts, and is housed on a number of servers on the Internet. Basically, it maintains this database for figuring out and finding (or resolving) host names and IP addresses. This allows users to specify remote computers by host names rather than numerical IP addresses.

- What is a search engine?
A search engine attempts to help users isolate desired information or resources by searching for keywords that the user specifies. Search engines maintain indexes of Internet resources, these resources can be accessed by keywords or concepts entered by the user. The index can be built from specific resource lists or created by Web wanderers, robots, spiders, crawlers, and worms. From an Internet surfer's point of view search engines can be quite tiresome and not very fruitful if you don't know how to use them correctly. It's a good idea before using a search engine to read the help section of the search engine's web site to discover the best way to optimize your results.

- What is a POP account?
Post Office Protocol is the protocol used by mail clients to retrieve messages from a mail server. It comes in three flavors: POP1, POP2, and POP3. The number denotes the different version number of the protocol.
