Definitions from the Sharpened Glossary

Web Copywriting
The writing of text especially for a web page. Similar to the writing of copy for any other type of publication, good web copywriting can have a great effect on search engine positioning, so it forms a major part of optimization.

Web Mail
The ability to access your email by using an Internet web browser in addition to access with an email program. With web mail, you can access your email account from any computer, anywhere in the world at any time. Our Web Mail hosting feature also gives you the capability to store an address book, create mail lists, change your password immediately, and set up your own viewing preferences. A special administration mode allows you or your web manager to create, delete, or modify email accounts instantly.

Web Page
A single page written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), stored on a server. Unlike a regular page in a word processing document, a web page does not have graphics embedded: rather, they are linked. A web page usually has links to other web pages. Each web page has its own address called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

Web Site
Collection of web pages that are linked together and that exist on the Web at a particular Web server. Exploring a Web site usually begins with a home page, which then leads you to the other resources on the Web site, but also to resources on other Web sites. Each web site has an unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

Web Statistics
This is graphical information tracking visitors to your site, including the amount of hits your web site is receiving, where the visitors are coming from, what platform they are using, what browser they are using, how long they spent on a page, and usually it rates your most popular pages. Web statistics available with our hosting packages:

WWW
Stands for "World Wide Web." It is important to know that this is not a synonym for the Internet. The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual network of networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and e-mail are all part of the Internet, but are not part of the World Wide Web. The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer Web pages to your computer. With hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a link to another Web site. All Web pages are written in the hyper-text markup language (HTML), which works in conjunction with HTTP.


XHTML
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language - A reformulation of HTML 4.0 in XML 1.0. XHTML is a new language for building web pages that has recently been proposed as a W3C Recommendation.

XML
Short for Extensible Markup Language, a new specification being developed by the W3C World Wide Web Consortium. XML gives designers the ability to create their own customized tags to provide functionality not available with HTML. For example, XML supports links that point to multiple documents, as opposed to HTML links, which can reference just one destination each.
