What is FTP?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a software application that lets you connect
to a remote host from your desktop, over the Internet and
allows you to move files from your desk top computer to the remote computer and down load
files from the remote computer to your desk top.
When I FTP my files, where do they go?
When you FTP your files they are transferred directly into a directory specifically set up
for your files (your virtual Server Account). No one, but you and the administrator of the server have access
to this directory. Once the files are transferred to the Server, they are made immediately
accessible to the world.

Note:
To avoid spamming, we have installed spam filters on the server, which
might give you a message that "we do not relay mails"or simply an error message.
You are advised to always "get" your mail before you "send" mail as
this contact with the server establishes you as a valid user of 123webhost servers for
that session. |

What is DNS? |
|
Domain Name System is widely used on the Internet to resolve
Domain Names to IP address. Since Internet truly understands only IP numbers like
209.235.29.133 which are difficult to remember for each site, each site is allotted an IP
number which is then associated with a Domain Name. This way it is easy to remember a
Domain Name while the Internet first translates the Domain Name into it's respective IP
number and then processes your request.
The following are the top level Domain Names booked by InterNIC
