Common terminology in application of virtual host

Virtual host is the use of special hardware and software technology, to a server running on the Internet into a virtual "host, each virtual host has a separate domain name, with a complete Internet server (WWW, FTP, etc.) function, the virtual host is completely independent, and can be managed by the user , in the view of the outside world, each virtual host and a set of host exactly the same.

　　What operating system does the virtual host use?

The most commonly used operating systems are UNIX and Microsoft's Windows2000. Both have their own strengths. For customers, choosing an operating system is actually choosing the programming language, which is to use the ASP and ASP.net customers to choose Windows2000, while the client using the PHP language chooses the UNIX system. As for clients who use CGI programs, 2 of them can choose, but the latter is the recommended option. For UNIX, the vast majority of the world's virtual host providers, the choice is the Linux system.

　　What is ASP?

ASP is the abbreviation for Active Server page. It is a Web page that contains code that uses a VB script or a JScript scripting program. When the browser browses the ASP page, the Web server generates the corresponding HTML code based on the request and then returns it to the browser, so that the browser sees the dynamically generated Web page. is an application developed by Microsoft to replace CGI scripts, which can interact with databases and other programs. is a simple and convenient programming tool.

ASP's Web page file is in the format of. ASP.

　　What is asp.net?

Asp. NET is Microsoft's new Internet programming technology, which employs a more efficient, object-oriented approach to creating dynamic Web applications. In the original technology, server-side code and client HTML mixed, intertwined, often resulting in the page's code is long and complex, the logic of the program is difficult to understand, and asp.net can solve this problem, and can be independent of the browser, and can support vb.net, c#.net, VC + +. NET, JS.NET4 programming language.

　　What do you mean FSO?

FSO (FileSystemObject) is a Microsoft ASP's control of file manipulation, which can read, create, modify, delete directories, and file operations on the server. is a very useful control in programming. But because of the privilege control problem, many virtual host servers become an open backdoor of this server, because customers can programmatically control the control of the server and even delete the files on the server. So many of the industry's virtual hosting providers simply shut down the control, giving customers a lot less flexibility. The W2K virtual host server of the domain new network has the high security, may let the customer in own website space to use arbitrarily but has no way to endanger the system or to hinder other customer website normal operation.

　　What is PHP?

PHP is a server-side html-embedded Script Description language. Its most powerful and important feature is its database integration layer, which is incredibly simple to use to complete a Web page that contains database functionality. In a file, a PHP script (syntax similar to Perl or C) can be referenced using a special tag so that the creator of the Web page does not have to rely entirely on the build page. Because PHP is executed on the server side, the client does not see the code. PHP can accomplish any task that a CGI script can accomplish, but its functionality depends on its compatibility with the various databases. In addition to being able to communicate using HTTP, PHP can also use IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, and POP3 protocols.

　　What size of web space do I need?

100M of web space, if the standard Web page calculation, can accommodate a A4 paper information or 2000 picture information. can also be converted to 75 million Chinese characters. You can predict the size of the space you need based on this standard, and if you have completed the design of the entire site, you can see the amount of space that all files occupy on your computer, multiplied by this number or second as the size of the package you choose.

　　What is a forwarding mailbox, what is the role?

A forward mailbox is a special mailbox that does not provide the space itself, but instead transfers the received letter to the specified other or a set of mailboxes.
