A Comprehensive Computer and Internet Glossary
Navigating the world of computers and the internet in business can feel overwhelming with its unique jargon. While you don't need to know everything, some terms are essential. Here's a concise guide to help you out.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth refers to the amount of data your website can send each second and how much data a visitor’s device can receive. Insufficient bandwidth results in slow website loading. It's crucial to select a host with ample bandwidth and ensure your site is optimized for slower connections.
Browser
A browser is software used to view websites. The most common browser is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which is available on Windows.
Cookie
Cookies are data files stored on a visitor's computer to remember their preferences when they return. Users often need to enable cookies to effectively interact with your site, especially for transactions.
Download
This is the process of transferring data from a website to a computer.
Favourite
A favourite is a website bookmarked by a user for easy access later, typically by selecting 'Add to Favourites' in their browser menu.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is a standard method for uploading files to your website.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a popular language for writing scripts that enhance interactivity on websites. It can sometimes cause issues for users if not properly managed.
JPEG
Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG is a widely used format for web images. Save pictures as JPEGs for web use.
Hardware
Hardware refers to tangible computer equipment, as opposed to software.
Hosting
Hosting is the service of making your website accessible on the Internet. You'll typically pay a provider for this service.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
HTML is a code that defines how web pages are displayed using a system of tags. For example, the 'b' tag makes text bold, while the 'img' tag shows an image.
Hyperlink
A hyperlink is clickable text that redirects users to another site or page. For instance, a hyperlink can be your email address, allowing users to email you directly when clicked.
Programming
Programming involves creating instructions for computers using languages like PHP and Perl, especially for web development.
Server
A server stores your website and facilitates visitor access. If your server is 'down,' your site will be inaccessible. The term covers both the hardware and software of the system.
Software
Software comprises programs that run on computers or power your website. Examples include Microsoft Word and Apache (a popular web server software).
Spider
Spiders are programs used by search engines to scan and index your website, helping it appear in search results.
Upload
Uploading is the transfer of data from your computer to your website, such as adding a logo or article. It's the opposite of downloading.
