What does DNS mean?

DNS means Domain Name System

DNS is a protocol that makes the translation of a domain name to a ipaddress on the Internet. This website has, for example, as IPAddress: 195.211.73.41 but that is difficult to remember, so remember people: www.wat-betekent.nl. DNS is a distributed database that contains host and domain names and their associated IP addresses. DNS eliminates the need to maintain a list of IP addresses on each computer. Read More

What is Twitter?

Twitter is online chat in 140 characters

Twitter is a service/website that works a bit like MSN Messenger and SMS. You can say in 140 characters what you are doing at the moment, are reading, or are planning to go. So far it looks like SMS. All the people who follow you (in your friends list) see that message, and Kunen may respond to it (this is the comparison with MSN Messenger). You can enter these messages on the website, but there are also a lot of other tools that you can use to customize your status (Windows/Linux/Mac/Mobile/etc.). Read More

What does opt-out mean?

OPT-OUT is an unsubscribe request

An OPT-OUT request means you are unsubscribing for something. This usually occurs in email newsletters that you receive. Often, at the bottom of such a newsletter, there is a possibility to unsubscribe, sign out, or unregister. For domain names you can also opt-outen. Then it means that the address data does not emerge if one does a whois on the domain.

What does VOIP mean?

In Voice over IP or VoIP, the Internet or any other IP network is used to transport voice. This enables telephony on data networks and the possibility of merging the formerly traditionally separated worlds of speech and data. As a result, only one infrastructure is needed and new products and services can also be developed. Working with VoIP-based telephone exchanges has now become commonplace within companies. The term VoIP is often falsely used to point to the actual transfer of votes rather than to its protocol.
