    Which of the following can also be called disk space?

    • Webspace

    • Bandwidth

    • Hard drive

    • Drop box

    Correct Answer
    A. Webspace
    Explanation
    Webspace can also be called disk space because it refers to the amount of storage space available on a server to store website files, databases, and other data. It is similar to the concept of hard drive space, as both represent the capacity to store digital files. Bandwidth, on the other hand, refers to the amount of data that can be transferred between a website and its users. Dropbox is a cloud storage service, which is different from disk space on a physical hard drive or server.

    Rate this question:

    Define the following "The amount of data transfer your web host allots to run through your website."

    • Transfer

    • Bandwidth

    • Data Transfer

    Correct Answer
    A. Bandwidth
    Explanation
    Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network or through a web host. It represents the capacity or speed at which data can be transferred. In the context of a web host, bandwidth refers to the amount of data transfer allotted to run through a website. It determines how much data can be sent or received by the website within a certain period of time. A higher bandwidth allows for faster and smoother data transfer, while a lower bandwidth may result in slower loading times and limited data transfer capabilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A users homepage is 50KB how much bandwidth will be used if they recieve 20 hits?

    • 2.5MB

    • 1MB

    • 1.2MB

    • 2MB

    Correct Answer
    A. 1MB
    Explanation
    If the user's homepage is 50KB and they receive 20 hits, the total amount of data transferred would be 50KB x 20 = 1000KB. Since 1MB is equal to 1000KB, the correct answer is 1MB.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A customer has a website their homepage is 50KB they recieve 2000 hits per day how much bandwidth will they require in a 31 day month?

    • 10GB

    • 20GB

    • 5GB

    • 3.1GB

    Correct Answer
    A. 3.1GB
    Explanation
    To calculate the required bandwidth, we need to multiply the size of the homepage (50KB) by the number of hits per day (2000). This will give us the total amount of data transferred per day. Then, we multiply this value by the number of days in a month (31) to get the total data transferred in a month. Converting this value to gigabytes, we find that it is equal to 3.1GB. Therefore, the customer will require 3.1GB of bandwidth in a 31-day month.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    How much bandwidth would be considered reasonable for a flash free start up website.

    • Up to 5GB

    • 5 - 10GB

    • 20GB

    • Unlimited

    Correct Answer
    A. Up to 5GB
    Explanation
    For a flash-free startup website, up to 5GB of bandwidth would be considered reasonable. This is because flash-free websites typically have less multimedia content and therefore require less bandwidth to load and function properly. By setting a limit of 5GB, the website can efficiently handle the expected traffic without incurring excessive costs or experiencing slow loading times.

    • When the website is partially dynamic

    • When the website is static

    Correct Answer
    A. When the website is partially dynamic
    Explanation
    SSI (Server Side Includes) are used when a website is partially dynamic. This means that certain parts of the website need to be updated or changed frequently, while other parts remain static. SSI allows for the inclusion of dynamic content, such as headers, footers, or navigation menus, into multiple web pages without having to manually update each page individually. By using SSI, the dynamic elements can be easily maintained and updated, while the static content remains unchanged.

    Rate this question:

    • Domain Name

    Correct Answer
    A. Domain Name
    Explanation
    A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet. It is formed by the rules and procedures of DNS (Domain Name System). Domain names are used to identify and locate websites on the Internet. They provide a more human-friendly way to access websites by mapping them to their corresponding IP addresses.

    If we did not have domain names how would we get to websites?

    • IP address

    • Netbios

    • Netbeu

    • Newsgroups

    Correct Answer
    A. IP address
    Explanation
    If we did not have domain names, we would still be able to access websites by using IP addresses. An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It serves as the address for communication between devices on the internet. Instead of typing a domain name like "www.example.com" in the browser, we would enter the specific IP address associated with the website we want to visit. This would allow us to directly connect to the server hosting the website and access its content.
