Dialup refers to a connection to an ISP where a computer or network becomes part of the Internet for the duration of the connection.

Disk Space is the physical space allocated on a server to hold your email, web pages, data and scripts.

DNS (Domain Name System) is the protocol used for naming computers on the Internet. Networks are given domain names to identify them on the Internet.

Domain name is a unique hierarchical name for a computer network. For example host-one.net is a domain name, which may be composed of hosts www.host-one.net and ftp.host-one.net, which may be different computers. Since a domain name is usually a hostname, a domain name often refers to both a network and a specific computer within that network. A domain name is used to configure URL's and email addresses.

Domain registration is the process of creating a new domain name which allows you to maintain your personalized or corporate identity on the Internet. Most web hosting plans includes domain name registration and hosting of the form www.your-company.com under any TLD (top level domain) of your choice (subject to the rules of that TLD) including .com .net .org .com.au .org.au .co.nz .co.uk etc. Once a domain is registered it must be delegated to become visible to the Internet population.

Domain delegation is the process of making a domain visible to the Internet population by assigning authority for that domain to a particular computer that is configured as a DNS server. This service is provided by your IPP. If you change IPP's you will need to re-delegate your domain.

Domain re-delegation is the process of moving the authority for a domain name to a new computer that is configured as a DNS server. These services are provided by IPP's.

Email is the electronic equivalent of the standard postal mail service. You can send most multimedia files and text through email. Email is not a real time service since email is spooled and sorted prior to being sent to a remote destination. To send files in real time use FTP. Many ISP's limit the size of email, so it is recommended that larger files are transmitted via FTP as well.

Email address is the electronic equivalent to a postal address. An email address like name@some.domain.com, has three components, "name" is some persons account, the "@" symbol signifying "at" and a domain "some.domain.com" signifying the network that the user belongs to. A valid email address must have all these three components for email to be delivered correctly.
