Glossary of Terms Relating to World Wide Web, Internet and Web Hosting etc.
A little effort to provide you a knowledge by NextTrak.
 

For your convenience, NextTrak has compiled this Glossary of Terms. This glossary of terms is not Internet specific, rather it is technology specific. You may work with some of the terms included here on a regular basis, or you may have heard some of them being used over the past few years, but didn't have a real grasp on their exact meaning. Whatever your computer needs are, we think you will find something useful in this list.

  This list is not complete, by any means. If you have any terms that you would like to see added to this glossary, e-mail your request to info@nexttrak.com

Access Time
The time it takes a computer to retrieve stored data. Technically speaking, access time is the time interval between the instant a computer calls for data from a storage medium (such as a hard disk, CD-ROM, or the Internet) and the instant the data is delivered. This can be a matter of seconds or minutes on the Web, depending on the speed of your connection. If you leave your computer and your browser stays idle for too long, your ISP may automatically "cut your time off" and you'll have to dial-up to get access again.
 
ActiveX
A programming interface (API) that allows web browsers to download and execute Windows programs. (See also Plug-In)
Ad Banner
An advertisement on a Web page that links to an advertiser's Web site or buffer page. Ad banners are the most common unit of advertising on the Web and cost anywhere from free to upwards of $150 - $1,500 per month depending on the amount of page views the Web site (and thus the ad banner) receives. It's called an ad "banner" because the original online advertisements were always in the shape of a banner, usually at the top of a page but may be at bottom, at any side or even in the middle of page if space vacant. Nowadays, there are many sizes of online ad "banners". The standard size for an ad banner which NextTrak prefers on www.nexttrak.com is 120 pixels wide by 120 pixels high for at sides and 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels high for the top or bottom.
