Coldfusion
In computing, ColdFusion is the name of a commercial rapid application
development platform invented by Jeremy and JJ Allaire in 1995. (The
programming language used with that platform is also commonly called
ColdFusion, though is more accurately known as CFML.) ColdFusion was
originally designed to make it easier to connect simple HTML pages to
a database, by version 2 (1996) it had become a full platform that included
an IDE in addition to a "full" scripting language. As of 2010, versions
of ColdFusion (purchased by Adobe Systems in 2005) include advanced
features for enterprise integration and development of rich Internet
applications.
Database
A database is an organized collection of data for one or more purposes,
usually in digital form. The data are typically organized to model relevant
aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels),
in a way that supports processes requiring this information (for example,
finding a hotel with vacancies). This definition is very general, and
is independent of the technology used.
DNS
Domain Name System, Internet system to translate names into IP addresses
DNS name servers
When you purchase a domain, you can point the name servers to any
location you want, BMChosting's location is ns1.bmchosting.com and ns2.bmchosting.com.
DSN database source name
A data source name (DSN, sometimes known as a database source name
though data sources are not limited to databases) are data structures
used to describe a connection to a data source. Most commonly used in
reference to ODBC, DSNs may also be defined for JDBC and other data
access mechanisms.
Domain name
A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of
administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Domain
names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System
(DNS).
Email
Electronic mail, commonly known as email or e-mail, is a method
of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.
Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks.
The at '@' sign is part of every email address.
FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is the most widely-used
protocol designed for transferring files from one machine to another.
It allows you to design your site locally and upload it to our servers
when it is ready. Most FTP programs also allow you to create directories,
rename and delete files.
Shared hosting
A shared web hosting service or virtual hosting service or derive
host refers to a web hosting service where many websites reside on one
web server connected to the Internet. Each site "sits" on its own partition,
or section/place on the server, to keep it separate from other sites.
This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people
share the overall cost of server maintenance.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission across Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
Virtual private server (VPS)
Virtual private server (VPS) is a term used by Internet hosting
services to refer to a virtual machine. The term is used for emphasizing
that the virtual machine, although running in software on the same physical
computer as other customers' virtual machines, is functionally equivalent
to a separate physical computer, is dedicated to the individual customer's
needs, has the privacy of a separate physical computer, and can be configured
to run as a server computer (i.e. to run server software).
Web hosting
A web hоsting service is a type of Internet hosting service that
allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible
via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on
a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as, providing Internet
connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide
data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers
located in their data center, called colocation. This what
BMChosting.com does!
