Table
A set of data elements that has a horizontal dimension (rows) and a vertical dimension (columns) in a relational database system. A table has a specified number of columns but can have any number of rows. A table is often called a relation. Rows stored in a table are structurally equivalent to records from flat files in that they must not contain repeating fields. In webpage.s it can be as simple as a spreadsheet of rows and columns, or as complex as a set of data within a database.
Tape backup
a recording system using electronic tape to store a copy of data for preservation purposes. If data should need to be restored, then the data can be found on the tape backup. Lunarpages backup data every day on every server.
tcp
(Transmission Control Protocol) one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
Telnet
A terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely control Web servers.
Template
A set of pre-designed formats for text and graphics on which new pages and webs can be based. After a page or web is created using a template, you can customize the page or web.
Temporary URL
Lunarpages will create a temporary url for a customer if they request it while their own domain name is being registered and propagated. This is typically done when advanced web hosting functions such as php, jsp, asp, etc are needed immediately or for a testing purpose. The temp url is made into the form of subdomain.lunarpages.net where the customer can choose their subdomain name.
Thunderbird
A remote email client made by Mozilla.
Title
The title bar - the very top of the browser - displays the title of the page. The title of a web page is also displayed in search engine result pages; in minimized window titles at the bottom of the screen; and in lists of bookmarks or favorites.
tracert
a TCP/IP utility which allows the user to determine the route packets take to reach a particular host. Trace route works by increasing the "time to live" value of each successive packet sent. The first packet has a TTL value of one, the second two, and so on. When a packet passes through a host, the host decrements the TTL value by one and forwards the packet to the next host. When a packet with a TTL of one reaches a host, the host discards the packet and sends an ICMP time exceeded. Customers are sometimes asked to perform this function to determine if there is a break in communications between themselves and a remote server such as Lunarpages' servers.
Traffic
the amount of activity over a communication system during a given period of time; "heavy traffic overloaded the trunk lines"; "traffic on the internet is lightest during the night"
Trojan (Trojan horse)
An apparently useful and innocent program containing additional hidden code which allows the unauthorized collection, exploitation, falsification, or destruction of data. Most commonly associated with viruses.
