    What is a domain name?

    A domain name is an Internet address (example yourname.com): it is similar to a customized license plate or a permanent phone number or address. A domain name also allows you to receive e-mail at a customized e-mail address. If your organization's name is YOURNAME, Inc., you could register the domain name YOURNAME.COM and your e-mail address could be "anything@yourname.com". Your customers would also be able to access your organization's web site by visiting "www.yourname.com" with their web browser. These are just a few of the most common uses for a domain name.


    What is E-Commerce?

    Do you submit my site to all the major search engines?

    Yes we do! We first make sure that your site is in "tip-top" shape and insert all of the proper meta tags. Next we will use a Search Engine Submiter such as Submit-It, a service that submits your site to all of the most popular search engines to guarentee that your business wil be seen.


    What are meta tags?

    Search engines such as WebCrawler, Alta-Vista, Lycos, and hundreds of others are now automatically indexing your site when you register with them, scanning your Meta Tags for information about your site. Meta Tags look like this: <meta name="KEYWORD" content="buy, shopping, retail, mall">. Information that can be presented to search engines via Meta tags include relevant keywords, web site description, copyright information, author information, your guidelines for 'robot' behavior, and more. Meta Tags are one of the most important components of your web site, even though humans rarely see them (meta tags are embedded in the HTML of a web page). Only the search engine robots, sent out across the Internet to index web sites and rank them, ever see Meta Tags.

    However, proper Meta Tagging can have dramatic influence on where your site is ranked on a search engine. Sites that lack properly formatted and optimized Meta Tags are often ranked
    very low by search engines, leading to your site not receiving the traffic it deserves. Worse, many search engines are now considering not accepting new web sites at all if they lack Meta
    Tags!

    What is CGI?

    The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is currently the primary tool on the world wide web for creating dialogic websites. CGI facilitates the web server communicating with other programs on said server. The Web server, using CGI, can get input from a remote user and proceed to call up a program elsewhere on the server running on those parameters. It's a very popular way to make websites interactive, and to generate webpages on-the-fly, among other things. Search engines use CGI, as do many online tools.


    What is Java/JavaScript?

    JavaScript is a compact, object-based scripting language for developing client and server Internet applications.

    The JavaScript language resembles Java, but without Java's static typing and strong type checking. JavaScript supports most of Java's expression syntax and basic control flow constructs. In contrast to Java's compile-time system of classes built by declarations, JavaScript supports a run-time system based on a small number of data types representing numeric, Boolean, and string values. JavaScript has a simple instance-based object model that still provides significant capabilities.


    Whats is FLASH?

    Flash is the standard for interactive vector graphics and animation on the Web. This new format allows fast loading dynamic graphic animations which mark a new era in interactive web content. Taking these factors into consideration, and the fact that flash is capable of playing synchronized streaming audio during play, you may want to Flash your web site very soon.
