WAN - Wide Area Network
A network that connects computers over a large geographic area.

Web Hosting
Web hosting allows your Web site to be connected to the Internet at high speed via a Web server so its information can be viewed globally through a browser. Metaphorically speaking, renting space on a server is comparable to renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you reside in that apartment and all maintenance is the responsibility of the property. You also have access to certain amenities that would otherwise be a costly investment. A Web hosting company houses your Web site on its own secure servers, enabling you to affordably leverage the power of a high-speed network, 24/7 expert monitoring and support, and state-of-the-art technology.

WebTrends
WebTrends offers Web tracking services, such as financial, traffic, and more. With WebTrends reporting you can really see who is hitting your site, and which pages are the most popular. WebTrends contains graphical and table based reporting, so that you can find vital information about how your website is being viewed.

Whois
A means of looking up names in a remote database. Used initially as an aid for finding e-mail addresses for people at large institutions or companies.

Wideband
A medium-capacity communications circuit/path. It usually implies a speed from 64Kbps to 1.544Mbps.

Windows NT
Windows NT is a 32-bit operating system that supports preemptive multitasking.

There are two versions of Windows NT: Windows NT Server is designed to act as a server in networks, and Windows NT Workstation is for stand-alone or client workstations.

WWW - World Wide Web
A system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted in a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that supports links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files. This means you can jump from one document to another simply by clicking on hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of the World Wide Web.
