Data Transfer
Data transfer is the amount of digital data that is moved from one place to another in a given time. Outbound traffic from a web site, with the exception of e-mail, is considered to be data transfer. This is also known as bandwidth, the quota of data transfer that you are allowed each month. Anytime someone downloads, uploads, or visits your website - they are consuming a portion of that quota for the month.

Dead Link
An internet link which leads nowhere, probably because the server is down or the page has moved or no longer exists. Most search engines have techniques for removing such pages from their listings automatically, but as the internet continues to increase in size, it becomes more and more difficult for a search engine to check all of the pages in the index regularly.

Deep Link
A link to a web page other than your index page.

Directory
A directory is a search tool that focuses on listing web sites by specific categories, using human editors to review and manually place web sites into the categories. Similar to an entry in a phone book or the Yellow Pages, your directory listing doesn't change.

Disk Space
Disk space is the allocation of server hard disk drive space where your web site is stored and connected to the Internet. This space is used to store your HTML files, graphics, POP mail messages, etc. Anytime you upload something to your website, then you are consuming a portion of that quota. With our hosting plan, you are allowed 250 Mb and the average web site owner should have more than enough space!

Domain Name
The unique name that identifies a web site, such as yourcompanyname.com.

Domain Registrar
A domain registrar is a service that creates and hosts the records correlating to domain name. Each domain name is setup to point to a specific IP address.

Doorway Page
A page which has been specially created in order to get a high ranking in the search engines and not to benefit end users.
