| Domain
Name |
Domain Names are the
familiar, easy to remember names for computers on the Internet (such as
bobsgroup.com). They correspond to a series of numbers (called Internet
Protocol numbers) that serve as routing addresses on the Internet. Domain
names are used generally as a convenient way of locating information and
reaching others on the Internet.
First level names (like .com .net .org, etc.) are dictated by ICANN
Second Level domain names (like bobsgroup.com) are purchased from
Domain Name Registrars. We can help you purchase
a second level domain name. Third (forth, fifth, etc.) level domain names
(like www.bobsgroup.com) are simply programmed into DNS servers of
authority once you own a second level domain name.

Domain
Name Server
(DNS) |
Domain Name Server is a
server that lives on the Internet or Intranet and provides Domain Name resolution
services to the network. Your computer only understands IP addresses and
a Domain Name Server converts Names (which we humans understand) to IP addresses
(which computers understand).
|
Domain Name
Server
of Authority |
Domain Name Server of Authority
is a specific server (or pair of servers or more) that is the
authoritative Domain Name Server for any particular second level (and
sometimes higher) domain name. This server contains the necessary records
for all domain information for the names it is assigned. This type of
server may server as few as one domain name or as many names as you like.
We can provide you with your own DNS server.

Domain
Name Server
Root Server |
Root Domain Name Servers
are servers on the internet that point to the first level domain name
servers. In tern the first level domain name servers point to the domain
name server of authority to find second level and higher domain names.

Domain Name
Server
Caching |
A Caching Domain Name Server
is not authoritative for any particular name, but is used as a 'cache' for
many domain names. It stores domain name information for a period of time
for all domains that it has been requested to resolve. It's main function
in life is to server-up domain name addresses for requests made by other
computers within its network. Your Internet Service Provider has Caching
Domain Name Servers for you to use so that your computer can find web
pages on the Internet.

Domain
Name Server
Hosting |
Domain Name Server Hosting
is the process of hosting your domain name on someone else's domain name
server. If you own a domain name such as yourcompany.com, there must be at
least two Domain Name Servers of Authority to resolve your name to
the Internet. This can be provided by an ISP or Domain Name Server Hosting
company of some kind. We can provide you with DNS Hosting
services.
|
| Hosting |
Hosting is the process
of a company providing a place on their servers for your functions. For
example, if you have a web site but do not have a web server, an ISP or
Web 'Hosting' company has a computer that will provide you with the
function of serving or 'hosting' your web site. This name can be applied
to many functions on the Internet such as Web Sites, Email Accounts,
Domain Name Servers, Database Applications, even Servers themselves can be
hosted, plus much more. We can provide Hosting
Services for any of your requirements.

| Imagineering |
Imagineering is the
process of Imagining a presentation then Engineering the concept with the
same imagination.
|
| Imagineer |
Imagineers are
Engineers with Imagination - and MORE. Or should I say Imaginative
people that are also Engineers. There are many engineers, but few people
posses real imagination.
We use the term in association with Internet/Computer/Web 'Engineers' with Imagination,
Creativity, Presentation Ability and Business sense!
Imagineer is a created word and does not appear in any dictionaries
that I know of to date. It was originally created by Walt Disney many
years ago to name their engineering firm and the people within it. Walt Disney Imagineering is a
component of the Walt Disney Company that is responsible for designing
and creating rides and attractions you see in the Disney parks, and more.
Walt Disney Imagineering was initially formed in 1952, although it
wasn't originally called that, by Walt Disney. There was a small
handful of animators and movie makers that worked for Disney. Those
few were called upon to think up and design Walt's greatest
dream...Disneyland.
Although we are not associated with the Disney organization in anyway,
we are using their term to define our process and methodology. The term
fits more than Disney's organization and should become a true method of
creation for any presentational project.
Another created word by Walt is: Illusioneering. I'm sure you figure
out what that means!

| Kilroy
|
The cartoon character Kilroy
and the phrase Kilroy was Here propagated mostly
during World War II and was posted all over Europe during the war. There
are several 'legends' as to how and who started this. Even the real dates
are unknown. We use a little divider at the bottom of most of our web
pages that is a Kilroy representation. Kind of a Kilroy Was Here and
Kilroy Is Watching You. It's just for fun, much like during World War
II.

| Propeller-Head

Propeller-Head also
known as a Techno-Nerd, Techno-Wizard, Techno-Geek, Techno-Weenie or
Computer Geek.
These guys and gals are people who live for computers and can make them
sit up at do almost anything by magic. They always know how to fix your
system and they make it look so simple. Many companies employ
Propeller-Heads to maintain their networks and design nifty computer stuff.
They sometimes even do Internet Web stuff and other mysterious things.
Propeller-Heads are nothing like Parrot
Heads, although there are many Propeller-Heads that ARE Parrot Heads.
For more information on this 'human malady' check out Propeller-Heads.

Resolve
Domain Name |
Resolve a Domain Name is
one of the actions that a Domain Name Server does. The Server accepts a
domain name and attempts to convert or 'resolve' the domain name to an IP
address for a requesting computer. If it does not know the IP address is
will ask other Domain Name Servers until it finds out and passes the information
to your computer. The server may actually be required to go to the
original Domain Name Server of Authority before it can find the necessary
IP address to give to the requesting computer.

communications protocol. It is the network protocol of the Internet and
many other networks.

| Technofix |
Technofix is an approach
commonly used by may consultants and computer 'experts' (propeller-heads)
to 'fix' a business problem using their specific known computer
technologies. Not all business solutions need a 'computer fix'. The
approach should always be to consider the business issues at hand and provide the
appropriate solution using technology when it actually fits the
solution. We provide Business Solutions with Technology, not a simple
technofix to patch a current situation.
