Glossary

  • ISP

    ISP


    An Internet service provider (abbr. ISP, also called Internet access provider or IAP) is a business or organization that provides to consumers access to the Internet and related services.

    In the past, most ISPs were run by the phone companies. Now, ISPs can be started by just about any individual or group with sufficient money and expertise. In addition to Internet access via various technologies such as dial-up and DSL, they may provide a combination of services including Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, web hosting, and colocation.

  • B2B (business-to-bussiness)

    B2B (business-to-bussiness)


    Business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B) typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer (B2C) applications.

    For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store.

    B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing. B2B also is used to identify sales transactions between business. For example a company selling photocopiers would likely be a B2B sales organisation as opposed to a B2C (business to consumer) sales organisation.

  • Search Engine

    Search Engine


    A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system, such as on the World Wide Web, inside a corporate or proprietary network, or in a personal computer. The search engine allows one to ask for content meeting specific criteria (typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieves a list of items that match those criteria. This list is often sorted with respect to some measure of relevance of the results. Search engines use regularly updated indexes to operate quickly and efficiently.

  • B2C (Business-to-consumer)

    B2C (Business-to-consumer)


    B2C (Business-to-consumer), also business-to-customer, describes activities of commercial organizations serving the end consumer with products and/or services.

    The two main challenges faced by B2C e-commerce are building traffic and sustaining customer loyalty. Due to the winner-take-all nature of the B2C structure, many smaller firms find it difficult to enter a market and remain competitive.

    In addition, online shoppers are very price-sensitive and are easily lured away, so acquiring and keeping new customers is difficult.

    Send SMS


    透過“傳送手機短訊”您能夠將訊息以“SMS”傳送到全球任何國家的手機,而且費用相宜,令您的客戶無需特別關注電子郵箱,亦能第一時間得述您的重要訊息。

    使用“傳送手機短訊”前,您需預先購買“短訊額”,當購買後,每次由您發送短訊,或由系統發出短訊後,相應的使用量便會從您的短訊額中扣除。

    這編指南亦適用於其他與“傳送手機短訊”相關功能,例如“購物訂單”、“支援服務記錄”等。

    進入“廣告總管”:
    1. 點擊主選單的“訊息中心/電子報”

    2. 點擊左選單的“傳送手機短訊”

    每項“手機短訊”包含的資料:
    請選擇以下其中一種傳送對像。
    • 發送客戶
      從下拉選單挑選欲傳送短訊的對像,若對像沒有手機號碼,則不能成功發送短訊

    • 其他人仕
      傳送短訊給一位非會員,需正確選擇對像的“國家”,再輸入手機號碼,例如“98765432”(必需輸入)

    • 發送短訊
      必需剔選,短訊才能進行傳送

    • 短訊語言
      “英文短訊”可以包含160個字元的純文字,“Unicode”、“8-bit中文短訊”可以包含69個字元。(包括英文、數字、空格、符號及斷行)

    • 發送者短稱
      發送者短稱 (SENDER ID) 必需為英文或英文加空格,最大長度為11個字元,部份網絡供應商並不支援此格式。

    • 短訊內容
      短訊內容必需為純文字,最大長度按照選擇的語言而訂,部份手機不支援中文短訊,為免出現亂碼,建議使用純英文。

    • 字元數目
      系統將會計算當前輸入“短訊內容”的字元數量,請根據選擇的“短訊語言”字元長度限制,請勿超越可接受的長度,否則訊息將被截掉多餘的字元

    發送短訊的步驟:
    1. 點擊主螢幕的“發送短訊”按鈕

    2. 選擇合適的發送對像,或輸入對像的“國家”、“手機號碼”

    3. 選擇合適的“短訊語言”

    4. 輸入合適字元長度的“短訊內容”

    5. 點擊“預覽”按鈕,或按“返回”放棄傳送動作

    6. 預覽所有資料是否無誤

    7. 點擊“發送”按鈕

    8. 如資料正確將完成傳送短訊,並從系統扣減您的“短訊額”

    查詢手機短訊的覆蓋範圍和短訊額:
    • 點擊主螢幕的“覆蓋範圍”按鈕,系統將列出當時適用的國家範圍,和每個短訊的使用額

    購買“短訊額”:
    • 點擊主螢幕的“買短訊額”按鈕,選擇欲購買的短訊額數量,檢視應付金額無誤後,點擊“確認”按鈕,並利用“PayPal (貝寶)”進行付款交易,完成後,您所購買的短訊額將於數分鐘內自動存入您的帳戶

    注意事項:
    • 每個短訊的傳送,以“短訊額”計算而非金額,請勿混淆

    • 短訊的傳送,一般都是實時送遞,但若干情況下可能受短訊閘道煩忙的影響而出現稍遲送達

    • 每次發送的短訊,如對像的手機號碼確實存在,則訊短將被視為成功傳送,不論該手機號碼是否屬對像擁有

    • 如以英文“短訊語言”發送,則不應包含任何中文字元,否則對方只會看見亂碼

    • 若未能確定對方手機是否支援“中文”,強列建議傳送英文訊息,避免對方只能看見亂碼

    • “短訊額”必需預先購買和備用,一經付款購買的“短訊額”,不設轉讓、退還或退款

    • 每個“短訊額”的價值有可能變化,以當時購買的價值為準

Email Tutorial

  • Are you able to receive emails but not send?

    Are you able to receive emails but not send?


    If you can receive mail but aren't able to send this means one thing.....

    There are number of things causing this. Unless you've received an announcement from us that mail isn't working properly at the time you're having difficulty.

    Chances are it is some internet provider is blocking you from using anyone's incoming mail servers but their own. Many major ISP's are blocking incoming emails.

    The reason they do this is to prevent you from using their internet connection for spamming purposes.

    You will still be able to send emails, but only by using your ISP'S outgoing mail server.
    Every ISP's outgoing mail address is different, but for the most part they will be mail.yourispname.com
    For example, if you had hosting with AOL.com, their outgoing mail server would look like this: mail.aol.com.

    If mail.yourisp.com does not work and you are still unable to send emails, you will need to call your internet service provider to find out what their outgoing mail server is.

  • What is mail policy and email limits?

    What is mail policy and email limits?


    Mail Limits

    There is an maximum amount of emails which can be send out per hour is 300 emails from one account or 100 emails per domain and 500 emails per day, this limit is also applied "Web Hosting Service", "Towards Mailing Lists" and "Online E-Store System". Focus Network Company reserves the violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate deactivate or termination upon any indication of such activity without notice.

    Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit per email address.? If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to prevent this from happening again make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as 10 minutes.

    Any mailing list larger than 2000 will require a dedicated server solution from us. Note: dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.

    We have a maximum size of emails of 30 MByte and under, any email over 30 MByte will be automatically rejected, please use your FTP to transfer big files!

    Mailing Lists Rules

    1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it.? We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We recommend Mailman which can be found in your control panel under PLESK. If you do not throttle and you try sending let's say 1500 emails the server will try sending all 1500 in 1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server load to go very high and for the entire server to be sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server without notice.

    2. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.

    3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were given or purchased. This is spamming because they never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care and how you justify it this is spam and will result in termination of the offending account.

    4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination of the offending account without notice. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.

    PHPBugTracker


    Thanks for taking a look at phpBugTracker. This project was started out of the frustation I experienced getting Bugzilla installed and operational for a web development project. The goals of this project are to produce a web-based bug tracker with functionality similar to bugzilla that is abstracted from the database backend and uses templates for rendering the pages. Currently phpBugTracker is nowhere near a drop-in replacement for Bugzilla, so don't expect it to be. Maybe it will get to that point one day, maybe it won't. If it doesn't meet your needs, your development help is welcome, but your whining isn't! Just remember that I do this in my very limited spare time for fun, and I hope others can enjoy what little I have done/will do on it. That said, I hope you enjoy using phpBugTracker, and that you find it useful.

    PHPwiki


    PhpWiki is a WikiWikiWeb clone in PHP. A WikiWikiWeb is a site where anyone can edit the pages through an HTML form. Multiple storage backends, dynamic hyperlinking, themeable, scriptable by plugins, full authentication, ACL's.

    A WikiWikiWeb is a web site where anyone can edit the pages through an HTML form. Linking is done automatically on the server side; all pages are stored in a database. This may sound rather simplistic, but a Wiki is a very unique way to collaborate on the Web. I set up a few while working at the New York Times on the Web, and the technical staff really took to them in a big way. They wrote 500 pages in just a few months (all to document the internal systems). The addictive quality of a Wiki is that making pages is as simple as making a link to them. If they don't yet exist, the page link will be followed by a hyperlinked question mark; follow that link and you can define the new page. With this setup, you can update and create pages from anywhere there is a web browser handy. Visit the PhpWiki here at Sourceforge. You can try it out yourself! Installation of PhpWiki is as simple as untarring the source distribution. PhpWiki works right out of the box. You will want to make configuration changes later for better performance and permanence, or to run PhpWiki off a relational database like MySQL, mSQL or Postgresql.

  • If You're Going To Steal Software, Steal From Us: Microsoft Exec

    If You're Going To Steal Software, Steal From Us: Microsoft Exec


    Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes estimates that between 20% and 25% of all software used in the United States is pirated, but said some pirates end up becoming paying customers.

    By Paul McDougall
    InformationWeek
    12, 2007 03:00

    If you're going to be a software counterfeiter, then please copy and illegally use Microsoft products.

    The above plea isn't from a posting on a hacker forum. Rather, it's how Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes feels about software counterfeiters. "If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else," Raikes said.

    The remarks might seem surprising, coming from a senior executive at a software company that spends millions each year fighting software piracy and developing copyright protection technologies.

    But Raikes, speaking last week at the Morgan Stanley Technology conference in San Francisco, said a certain amount of software piracy actually helps Microsoft because it can lead to purchases by individuals who otherwise might never have been exposed to the company's products.

    "We understand that in the long run the fundamental asset is the installed base of people who are using our products," Raikes said. "What you hope to do over time is convert them to licensing the software."

    Raikes said Microsoft isn't about to abandon efforts to track down those who illegally copy and use its products. However, he said Microsoft has to balance that approach with the recognition that users of purloined software could one day become legitimate customers.

    "You want to push towards getting legal licensing, but you don't want to push so hard that you lose the asset that's most fundamental in the business," said Raikes, who estimated that between 20% and 25% of all software used in the United States is pirated.

    Raikes said Microsoft is developing so-called "pay-as-you-go" software offerings with pricing schemes similar to those used by cell phone companies for emerging markets as a way of encouraging low-income individuals to use the company's products legally.

    33 Million Domains Registered in 2007


    Report released by VeriSign, shows that over 33 Million domain names were registered in 2007, bringing the total up to 153million domains.

    Below is a summary of the report:

    In the last quarter of 2007, the base of domain name registrations grew 27 percent over the fourth quarter of 2006 and five percent over the third quarter of 2007… The total base of Country Code Top Level Domain Names (ccTLDs) was 58 million, a 33 percent increase year over year and a six percent increase quarter over quarter. Across all of the gTLDs and ccTLDs, .com has the highest base followed by .de (Germany), .net and .cn (China). The fifth spot is shared by .uk (United Kingdom) and .org. with approximately the same size base of domain name registrations.

    This release also states that the adoption of IPv6 has been relatively slow in the United States as compared to Asia and Europe. More than 100 domain name registries (i.e. top-level domain managers) support IPv6 for name servers and DNS queries including VeriSign who has supported IPv6 for .com and .net since 2002. The root name servers were enabled for IPv6 in February 2008 with the inclusion of IPv6 addresses for six of the thirteen root servers, including the A and J root servers operated by VeriSign.
