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.

X server
An X server is a server of connections to X terminal in a distributed network that uses the X Window System. From the terminal user's point-of-view, the X server may seem like a server of applications in multiple windows. Actually, the applications in the remote computer with the X server are making client request for the services of a windows manager that runs in each terminal. X servers (as part of the X Window System) typically are installed in a UNIX-based operating system in a mainframe, minicomputer, or workstation.

X terminal
An X terminal is typically a diskless terminal especially designed to provide a low-cost user interface for applications that run in a network X server as part of a distributed X Window System. Typically, X terminals are connected to a server running a UNIX-based operating system in a mainframe, minicomputer, or workstation.

X Window System
The X Window System is an open, cross-platform, client/server system for managing a windowed graphical user interface in a distributed network. In X Window, the client-server relationship is reversed from the usual. Remote computers contain applications that make client requests for display management services in each PC or workstation. X Window is primarily used in networks of interconnected mainframes, minicomputers, and workstations. It is also used on the X terminal, which is essentially a workstation with display management capabilities but without its own applications. (The X terminal can be seen as a predecessor of the network PC or thin client computer.)

X.400
A set of standards describing how e-mail should be delivered. X.400 is an alternative to SMTP, and is generally more capable but harder to understand and use.

X.500
Another complex standard, this time for managing directories of people, either on the World Wide Web or on private networks.

Xalan
Xalan is a specification for transforming Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents into Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or other XML document types.

XBRL / eXtensible Business Reporting Language
XBRL is an XML-based language being developed specifically for the automation of business information requirements, such as the preparation, sharing, and analysis of financial reports, statements, and audit schedules.

xDSL / x Digital Subscriber Line
A family of bandwidth-efficient modulation techniques, developed to achieve extremely high data transfer rates over twisted- pair cables. While the letter "X" represents a variable, DSL stands for "Digital Subscriber Line". XDSL techniques may offer several benefits such as, capability to offer high-speed data services to customers, low cost by using existing infrastructure and switching congestion relief caused by existing data users.

Xeon
Xeon is a Pentium microprocessor from Intel for use in "mid-range" enterprise servers and workstations. Xeon is replacing the Pentium Pro as Intel's main enterprise microchip. Xeon is designed for Internet and large transactional database servers as well as for engineering, graphics, and multimedia applications that require moving a lot of data around quickly. Xeon is the high end of the Pentium line (Celeron is the low end).

Xerces
Xerces is a set of parsers compatible with Extensible Markup Language (XML). Xerces parsers are available for Java and C++, implementing World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) XML, Document Object Model (DOM), and Simple API for XML (SAX) standards.

XHTML / eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language
XHTML is a reformulation of HTML 4.0 as an application of the Extensible Markup Language(XML).

XLink
A package of hyperlinking functionality that comes in two parts. "XLink" governs how links are inserted into an XML document; "XPointer" determines the identifier that goes on a URL when linking to an XML document from somewhere else, such as another Web page.

XMI / XML Metadata Interchange
XMI is a proposed use of the XML that is intended to provide a standard way for programmers and other users to exchange information about metadata.

XML / eXtensible Markup Language
A way of describing and sharing data on networks. Like its cousin HTML, XML consists of a set of TAGS that describes a chunk of data. The resemblance more or less ends there. XML is designed to describe the content of a page in terms of the type of data it contains, rather than the way that data should look.

XPath
XPath is a language that describes a way to locate and process items in xML documents by using an addressing syntax based on a path through the document's logical structure or hierarchy.

XPointer
XPointer is a language for locating data within an XML document based on properties such as location within the document, character content, and attribute values. XPointer consists of a description that comes after the # symbol in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). In HTML, the # symbol enables linking to a specific marked point within an HTML page.

XQL / XML Query Language
XQL provides a tool for finding and/or selecting out specific items in the data collection in an XML file or set of files. It is based on the pattern syntax used in the XSL and is proposed as an extension to it.

XSL / eXtensible Style Language
The style standard for XML. Like CSS, it specifies the presentation and appearance of an XML document.

XSLT / XSL Translation
XSLT is a standard way to describe how to transform (change) the structure of an XML document into an XML document with a different structure.

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.
