Web Site Terms Explained

How is a website like an apartment? Read on to find out and have all the website lingo explained in a simple-to-understand metaphor!

A web site is like an apartment. It has:

• An address (domain name)
• A physical location with enough space (hosting)
• Several Rooms (the web pages)
• A big enough door to let people in and out (bandwith / transfer)
• A superintendent (website designer / maintainer)

You and your visitors will also need:

• A car to get there (ISP-internet service provider like AOL, Comcast, Juno, etc)

It's also nice to have:

• A mailbox (email using your domain name)
• An answering machine (autoresponders)
• A mailman (cgi scripts to process forms)

If you have a business there too (online store) you might need the following:

• Shopping baskets (shopping cart)
• Cash register (merchant account)
• A security system (secure certificate)
• Good advertising (search engine optimization)

Now we're getting a little carried away . . .

• Neighborhood (the world wide web)
• Basement with a dumbwaiter (database)
• Hallways (hyperlinks within your site)
• Phone line (hyperlinks to other sites)
