Web Hosting Terms - Links to other websites

 

I have created this website to help web users find web hosting services in the U.K. If you are looking for web hosting services in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), make sure you enquire about the price, bandwidth allowance, website references and support issues. Once you have signed up, you are required to pay a monthly fee whether you are using their services or not. You may want to switch to another UK web hosting company if you are not satisfied with the host you that you have chosen, but switching to another host can be time-consuming and costly. Be extra careful when signing up with any host.

Hosting Terms


QBE / Query By Example
QBE is a particular search type used by Search Engines - once you find a particular Web Site, QBE will locate sites of a similar nature for you.

QOS / Quality Of Service
QOS is the idea that transmission rates, error rates, and other characteristics can be measured, improved, and, to some extent, guaranteed in advance. QoS is of particular concern for the continuous transmission of high-bandwidth video and multimedia information. Transmitting this kind of content dependably is difficult in public networks using ordinary "best effort" protocols.

Query
Any request for information from a Database, used by everything from Search Engines to Web-based railway timetables.

Query Language
A language such as SQL whereby users of a database system can interactively formulate requests, generate reports etc.

Query String
Your input to a server on the Internet. For example, when you perform a search on Yahoo!, you'll see a question mark in the URL, followed by some strange text-string. Everything after that question mark belongs to the query string. A query string is data input for the CGI script on that particular Internet server.

Quick Web
Quick Web was a product from Intel Corporation that was designed to speed up the delivery of Web pages to users. Quick Web was installed at several major ISPs. ISPs that installed Quick Web offered their users the option of subscribing to a faster delivery service for a somewhat larger fee. Quick Web offered to deliver pages faster in two ways: 1)By compression the graphic images it sent to the user. 2)By cache the Web pages that users requested most frequently.

Quicktime
Apple's software multimedia technology. Quicktime is used to add audio and video to websites and other multimedia applications, and is an alternative to streaming media products from Real Networks and Microsoft.

Quote
To include part of a previous newsgroup post or e-mail message when you follow up to it. Quoting is a good idea because it lets people know what you are talking about. Quoted material is preceded by ">".

QWERTY
The QWERTY keyboard is the standard typewriter and computer keyboard in countries that use a Latin-based alphabet. QWERTY refers to the first six letters on the upper row of the keyboard.

Hosting Tips
Ask your host to pay for your domain name.
If you want to host a NEW domain name, you can request the hosting company to pay your domain name for you. The cost of domain registration and renewal is about £6 per year.

Minimize your website expenses
If you are unusual about hosting and if you are still in the development and testing stage of your website, go for cheap hosting service. You save money by minimizing your website expenses on the initial stage, and once your site is ready for public to view, you can always decide to stay or move to another host. Always choose to host with reliable hosts that offer responsive technical support.

Read user reviews and hosting news
If you already have a host, and you intend to switch and search for another host, always start your search by reading user reviews and hosting news. This is simply because hosting companies that are always in the news are always innovating to provide better, cheaper, faster, newer or more efficient hosting services in the current marketplace. User review are comments provided by the people who have used and experienced their hosting services. Read users reviews to find out the actual hosting services provided by the hosts to help you decide which hosts suit your budget and plans.

Below are the hosting companies that we have tested in terms of support and hosting innovation. Although there are room for further improvement in their services, they are generally considered to be outstanding hosts. We will keep you posted with more reliable hosting companies.
