TOPSPEEDWEB.COM CORPORATION RE-INVENTS THE WEB HOSTING INDUSTRY

TopSpeedWeb.com Corporation has done it again. They just re-invented the webhosting industry by providing reseller and wholesale web hosting to all customers.
WHAT IS RESELLER WEB HOSTING?
Reseller hosting is the provisioning of webhosting services to companies that in turn act as hosting providers for other companies, typically providing Web site design and management services as well as acting as host for the site and serving its pages to users. For example, a Sports organization could provide hosting packages for professional and amateur sports teams that included an easy-to-use approach to creating a Web site as well as the space for the Web site’s pages and an easy-to-use interface for keeping the site(s) up-to-date. The Sports organization would actually use the computer and storage facilities of TopSpeedWeb.com Corporation., a hosting company that offered similar reselling capabilities to many companies like the Sports organization. A large hosting company that allowed reselling (like TopSpeedWeb.com Corporation) might actually host hundreds of Web sites.

In short, a reseller is a company that buys web hosting services at a wholesale price from another company and then repackages it, usually adding something to it, to other companies under its own company name. This allows the reseller to have the appearance of a large web hosting firm.

WHAT IS AN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER?
An ISP (Internet service provider) is a company that provides consumers and businesses access to the Internet and other related services such as website building, dedicated servers and virtual hosting. An ISP has the equipment and the high-speed data lines at their data center required to have a point-of-presence on the Internet for the geographic area served. Larger ISPs have their own high-speed leased lines so that they are less dependent on the telecommunication providers and can provide better service to their customers. A few of the largest national and regional Internet Service Providers are AT&T WorldNet, Broadwing, IBM Global Network, MCI, Netcom, PSINet, SprintLink and UUNet.

ISPs also include regional providers such as Orlando’s TopSpeedWeb.com Corporation. They also include thousands of local service providers. Internet users can also get access through online service providers like America Online, Compuserve and EarthLink.

Larger Internet Service Providers interconnect with each other through MAE (ISP switching centers run by MCI WorldCom) or similar data centers. To exchange traffic they make agreements which are known as peering agreements.

Internet Service Providers are also referred to as IAPs (Internet access provider).

WHAT IS INTERNET INFORMATION SERVER?
IIS (Internet Information Server) is a group of Internet servers (including a Web or Hypertext Transfer Protocol server and a File Transfer Protocol server) with additional capabilities for Microsoft’s Windows NT and Windows 2000 Server operating systems. IIS is Microsoft’s entry to compete in the Internet server market that is also addressed by Apache, Sun Microsystems, O’Reilly, and others. With IIS, Microsoft includes a set of programs for building and administering Web sites, a search engine, and support for writing Web-based applications that access databases. Microsoft points out that IIS is tightly integrated with the Windows NT and 2000 Servers in a number of ways, resulting in faster Web page serving.

A typical company that buys IIS can create pages for Web sites using Microsoft’s Front Page product (with its WYSIWYG user interface). Web developers can use Microsoft’s Active Server Page (ASP)technology, which means that applications - including ActiveX controls - can be imbedded in Web pages that modify the content sent back to users. Developers can also write programs that filter requests and get the correct Web pages for different users by using Microsoft’s Internet Server Application Program Interface (ISAPI) interface. ASPs and ISAPI programs run more efficiently than common gateway interface (CGI) and server-side include (SSI) programs, two current technologies. (However, there are comparable interfaces on other platforms.)

Microsoft includes special capabilities for server administrators designed to appeal to Internet service providers (ISPs). It includes a single window (or "console") from which all services and users can be administered. It’s designed to be easy to add components as snap-ins that you didn’t initially install. The administrative windows can be customized for access by individual customers.

WHAT IS A HOSTING SERVICES PROVIDER?
A Hosting Services Provider (HSP) is an application service provider dedicated to providing hosting services. Typically operates a Web server farm, either at a data center or colocation facility.

WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME?

Domain Name:
A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name yahoo.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.topspeedweb/index.html, the domain name is topspeedweb.com.

Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
# gov - Government agencies
# edu - Educational institutions
# org - Organizations (nonprofit)
# mil - Military
# com - commercial business
# net - Network organizations
# ca - Canada
# th - Thailand

WHAT IS A WEB SERVER?
Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.

A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. For example, a file server is a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can store files on the server. A print server is a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic. A database server is a computer system that processes database queries.

Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer
