Flash
Flash is a vector-based moving graphics format created by Macromedia for the
publication of animations on the world-wide web.

HTML
Hypertext Markup Language is the coding language used to create documents
for use on the World Wide Web as webpages.

DNS
Domain Name System is a system of mapping names to Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they’re easier for humans to
remember. The Internet, however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time
you use a domain name, DNS translates the name into the corresponding IP
address. It is similar to a phonebook for the Internet.

FTP
File Transfer Protocol is a standard method of moving files across the
Internet.

HTTP
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol is the protocol used between a Web browser and
a server to request a document and transfer its contents.

IP
Internet Protocol is the most basic protocol used to communicate on the
Internet. An IP number is a numerical address consisting of four numbers
separated by periods. Each IP address uniquely identifies a certain computer
on the Internet.

SEO
Search Engine Optimization is the process of making a site and its content
highly relevant for both search engines and searchers. Successful SEO helps
a site gain top positioning for relevant words and phrases.

URL
Uniform Resource Locator is a method of accessing Internet resources. URLs
contain information about both the access method to use and also about the
resource itself, and are used by Web browsers to connect you directly to a
specific document or page on the World Wide Web.

WWW
The World Wide Web is a collection of information servers linked together
through a language called hypertext. This allows you to select a hypertext
link on one page which may take you to a different server halfway around the
world. You do this through a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet
Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla.
