Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Dedicated Host
a Web server that stores and delivers the documents that make up a single Website. A dedicated host is the opposite of a virtual host, which refers to a server that stores and delivers the Web pages of many sites. Dedicated hosting helps to ensure that a Website will always be available to users because its server has the sole purpose of maintaining and delivering one and not many sites.
