Terminology - could use some elementary explanations
thanks Chad!
(I'm feeling a little stupid right now because I've been to your site a number of times already -- was probably in "critique mode" or "looking for a host mode" and didn't realize I needed to be in "education" mode
Thank you again, it will be added to my big notebook.
P.S. was expecting a "plug" since it's the hosts that will most likely provide this type of information.
take care,

Hi Chad,
.
I'm wondering if you know of an article where the basic terminology and explanations of hosting features could be found. I look at the features on all of the hosting sites and understand about 2/3's of features, the rest look fairly "Greek" to me. I've looked up a few things one by one (band width etc....) but would love to find one source where most everything is explained for the non-programing mind
Thank you, take care
Carolyn

I think this article might help you:
http://www.hosthelp.com/features.php
There are other articles at hosthelp.com that are really useful, too.
Thanks,
Jason

Carolyn,
This is by no means a plug but our site has a very comprehensive listing of terminology. Go to http://www.dids.com/hosting/features.asp and scroll through to find what you would like. You can also always post something you don't understand here and I am sure someone will get you an answer.

Howdy Carolyn,
Another good source of teminology explanations is http://webopedia.com. It is a searchable database of just about every computer related term imaginable. In most cases, they will give a brief explanation and then links to other sites that cover the info in more depth.
They also have links to related terms and within their initial description, if it references another term, it will have a link to that term.
Also have explanations of all those acronyms. A good example if you go to their site is search for sparc. It will give you what it stands for, a link to Sun Microsystems and a link to a description of RISC.
