Glossary H- Hardware
Computer hardware means the physical or tangible parts of the equipment, such as circuit boards, processors, hard drives, etc., in contrast to non-physical software running on the computer or device. Our servers are typically made up as Pentium4 3.2Ghz (or equivalent), 1GB DDR RAM, 80GB IDE, etc. - High Speed Network
A computer network is composed of multiple connected computers that communicate over a wired or wireless medium to share data and other resources. Our servers connects directly to the Verizon backbone ensuring fast response times and quality of service. We run a 100 MBit redundant network - Hit
A hit is actually a request made to a Web server. For example, if you go to a Web site that has six images included on the homepage, the browser must make a request to the server for the six images and one extra for the HTML part of the site. Then, once all of those requests are made, seven hits are actually recorded, instead of just six. - Hosting
Internet hosting is a service that runs Internet servers, allowing organizations and individuals to serve content to the Internet. We provide our clients with a one-stop Internet solution, domain name registration and administration. We host at our Data Centre in Johannesburg and offer a secure, high speed network, in a temperature controlled environment, with UPS power management, fire protection, daily & weekly back ups, virus protection and support
