Hosting that I
personally recommend
"Below are few hosting companies that I personally recommend. I insist
that you research their web hosting services first and compare with
other host before you decide to sign up. Ask yourself. What the few
main requirements that you are looking for in a host and decide carefully by
comparing the features, price and most importantly, hosting support" -
HostPulse.com Founder, Terence L
|
ServerDispatch.com - Price starts at US$159 per month. Generous amount
of hard disk space, control panel features, bandwidth, memory size. The
company offers good server management system. Please research before
purchasing.
|
WebsiteSource.com - One of the good
VPS plans I
have tried and tested.
|
ExaBytes.com - One of the many hosting
companies in Asia that is worth
researching. One of my hosting plans had its server changed frequently which
I thought there has been interruptions, but service is still available while
under maintenance.
|
IpowerWeb.com - Recently, one of the
host that we have
pleasant dealing with. Hosting is affordable, but features may be
limited.
|
|
SingleHop Dedicated
Servers - In the year of 2008, I highly rate this company as one of the
very best dedicated hosting companies around. Technical support staff has
been friendly and it is easy to reach the management if there are any
unsolved problems.

JANET / Joint Academic Network
A high-speed UK backbone connecting several hundred academic and educational institutions.
JAR / Java ARchive
A JAR (Java ARchive) file is a file that contains the class, image, and sound files for a Java applet gathered into a single file and compression for faster downloading to your Web browser. The JAR format is based on the popular zipping file format.
Java
A programming language created by Sun Microsystems which began life as a way to connect intelligent devices in the home. It has since evolved into a sprawling set of network software technologies that allow information to be transmitted and shared by a wide variety of devices.
Java chip
The Java chip is a microchip that, when included in or added to a computer, will enable the execution of or accelerate the performance of Java programs. The Java chip may also be used to run applications in small electronic appliances such as organizers, pagers, and cell phones.
Javabeans
A set of object-oriented programming tools created by Sun Microsystems, based on the Java programming language. JavaBeans is used to create small component programs, call beans, that perform specific functions; an interest-rate calculator, for example, or a simple drawing program.
Javascript
A programming language designed to enhance the capabilities of Web pages. The brainchild of Netscape, Javascript is a relative of c++ but is designed for completely different tasks and is much easier to learn. It should not be confused with Java. Its main purpose is to help a Web Browser do things that are beyond the scope of pure HTML, such as pooping up special windows in response to mouse clicks or displaying messages in its status bar.
JDBC / Java Database Connectivity
JDBC is an application program interface specification for connecting programs written in Java to the data in popular database. JDBC is very similar to the SQL Access Group's Open Database Connectivity (Open Database Connectivity) and, with a small "bridge" program, you can use the JDBC interface to access databases through the ODBC interface.
JDK / Java Development Kit
Sun Microsystems offers Web designers this software development package, so they have all the tools to write, test and debug Java applets.
JEPI / Joint Electronic Payment Initiative
A joint project between W3C and CommerceNet in the field of electronic payment using WWW.
JFC / Java Foundation Classes
Using the Java programming language, JFC is pre-written code in the form of class libraries that give the programmer a comprehensive set of graphical user interface (GUI) routines to use. The Java Foundation Classes are comparable to the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library.
JHTML
JHTML is a file name extension that identifies a Web page containing Java programming code. On a Web site that has Java Web server, the code in a JHTML Web page is turned on the fly into a small program that is executed at the server before the Web page is sent to the user.
Jigsaw
Jigsaw is a Web server from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that is designed for the purpose of demonstrating new Web protocol and other features. Jigsaw is written in the Java programming language and made available as open source software.
Jini
A way to connect hardware devices on a network intelligently, irrespective of their make or type. When a device is added to a Jini-based network, it posts a list of its resources and capabilities to a central Database used by every other device on the network.
JPEG / Joint Photographics Expert Group
Image compression standard, optimized for full-color digital images. You can choose the amount of compression, but the higher the compression rate, the less quality the image has. Almost every full-color photograph you see on the Web is a JPG file.
JScript
Microsoft's version of JavaScript.
JSP / Java Server Page
JSP is a technology for controlling the content or appearance of Web pages through the use of servlet, small programs that are specified in the Web page and run on the Web server to modify the Web page before it is sent to the user who requested it. JSP is comparable to Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology. Whereas a Java Server Page calls a Java program that is executed by the Web server, an Active Server Page contains a script that is interpreted by a script interpreter (such as VBScript or JScript) before the page is sent to the user.
Junk E-Mail
A perjorative term for badly targetted direct mail. (see SPAM)
Just-In-Time Compiler
A program that turns Java Bytecode into processor-specific executable software. Just-in-time (JIT) compilers can help overcome the sluggish performance of a Web browser's virtual machine, which runs bytecode one instruction at a time.
