Acronyms Defined
August 8th, 2011
An acronym is a string of letters that stands for a larger idea. Take LOL or TGIF for example – pretty much everyone knows these stand for “lots of laughing” or “thank goodness it’s Friday!” Along with these common known acronyms, there are many that litter the pages of web sites today. We here at V3 have penned “Tech speak – acronym edition” to clear up the confusion when navigating the world of web site design.
CMS – Content Management System. This is a type of software that allows V3 to create a web site for you and give you the keys to access it whenever you like. Just like a new home, your user name and password will allow you to access the site and “decorate” – add/subtract content, such as new products, blog updates and monthly specials for your business.
ISP – Internet Service Provider. This is the company that allows you to access the Internet; for example, Telus, Shaw and Rogers.
UPS – Uninterruptible Power Supply. V3 is just as dependable as the other UPS (the common shipping company) because of our ability to use backup power servers, giving you constant access to your site.
ISDN – Integrated Services Digital Network. Simply put, a way to access the Internet. This way uses the landline of your phone to access the Web.
PHP, Perl, C, C++, JavaScript, HTML, MySQL and Flash are all programming languages and technologies that V3 uses to create your website. As the technologies develop and new breakthroughs are made, we will consistently update our knowledge to give you the best there is.
