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.

L2TP / Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
L2TP is an extension of the PPTP(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)used by an ISP(Internet service provider) to enable the operation of a VPN(virtual private network) over the Internet.
LAN / Local Area Network
Local Area Network, which is a group of computers linked to a central computer (the "LAN server"). All the computers in the network share the software and disk storage available on the network server, thus greatly expanding the resources available to a user at any one machine. A LAN has many advantages over stand-alone PCs: software can be used by everyone on the local net without loading up disk space on individual machines, and files can be stored and saved on a large hard drive and backed up every day for safe storage. LANs can be connected to the Internet for world-wide networking, and many people using office computers today get their Internet and World Wide Web connection through their LAN.
Layer
A conceptual region that embodies one or more functions between an upper and lower logical boundary within a hierarchy of functions. Remarks: Protocols are defined in a layered way according to the OSI Reference Model.

It is a protocol for accessing information directories, such as organizations, individuals, phone number, and addresses.
Leased Line

Link
A connection between two Hypertext objects, used to help people navigate on the World Wide Web.
Link density
It refers to how many sites link to a particular site. You can determine the link density of a site with a reverse link lookup. A reverse link lookup tells how many websites, other than your own, are linked to your site. To perform a reverse link lookup in Alta Vista, type the keyword link: followed by a domain name or a complete URL. It will return every Web page that has a hypertext link to a particular site, directory, or page.
Link popularity
The algorithm to analyze link popularity uses third-level linking to determine a site's popularity. In other words, the algorithm looks at what sites link to the sites that link to you.
Linkrot
That which happens to hypertext and hypermedia links when people move or remove files on Web servers without providing links to new file or server locations. Some files pointed to in URLs just disappear. A feature of bad Website maintenance, but also an inevitability of the globally distributed and dynamic system of the Net and Web.
Linux

Linux was developed in 1991 for an Intel driven platform by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. Torvalds released Linux under the GNU GPL (Gnu Not Unix General Public License).
LINX
Stands for the London Internet Exchange, a neutral interconnection point for many British ISPS and the largest IXP (point of network interconnection) in Europe, acting as a central hub where data can be moved quickly between carriers and backbones.
