Backbone - A high-speed line or series of connections that forms a major pathway within a network. The term is relative, as a backbone in a small network will likely be much smaller than many non-backbone lines in a large network.
CyPace Hosting data centers sit on the MAE West and MAE East NAP's, providing our customers the industries leading network.
Bandwidth - The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. The term is also used to describe the rated throughput capacity of a given network medium or protocol. In short, bandwidth is a loose term used to describe the throughput capacity (measured in Kilobits or Megabits per second) of a specific circuit.
Baud - Unit of signaling speed equal to the number of discrete signal elements transmitted per second. Baud is synonymous with bits per second (bps). In common usage the baud rate of a modem is how many bits it can send or receive per second. Technically, baud is the number of times per second that the carrier signal shifts value - for example a 1200 bit-per-second modem actually runs at 300 baud, but it moves 4 bits per baud (4 x 300 = 1200 bits per second).
Binhex (BINary HEXadecimal) - A method for converting non-text files (non-ASCII) into ASCII. This is needed because Internet e-mail can only handle ASCII.
Bit (Binary DigIT) - A single digit number in base-2, in other words, either a 1 or a zero. The smallest unit of computerized data. Bandwidth is usually measured in bits-per-second.
Blocked Address - A blocked address is an address that you've banned from sending you email. When you set up address blocking, all incoming mail from the specified email addresses will be automatically deleted without bouncing back to the sender
Blog - A blog, or web log, refers to a web site or page featuring frequently updated, chronological entries (or posts), such as an online journal or public diary. Blog writers (sometimes known as bloggers) may create their blogs for personal or professional use, covering anything from day-to-day life events or politics to favorite foods, travel highlights, or other special interests. You can easily set up your own blog using the blog tools in your Web Hosting Control Panel. To find out more about CyPace, Inc.,
check out or blogBps (Bits-Per-Second) - A measurement of how fast data is moved from one place to another. A 28.8 modem can move 28,800 bits per second.
Browser - An application which allows for the viewing of web based content. Examples of browsers include: Flock, Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and Opera.
Bulk Mail Folder - A bulk mail folder is an email folder in which anit-spam software stores messages identified as spam.
Byte - A set of Bits that represent a single character. There are 8 bits in one byte.
breadcrumb trail - A breadcrumb trail is a series of links at the top of a web page that represents the current page's location in the web site structure. Click a link to go directly to the corresponding page. Clicking the root link of the breadcrumb trail (for example, "B") will bring you to the main page of the tab in which you are working. The rightmost page name or link of the breadcrumb trail indicates the page on which you are currently working.
