There is actually no single universal precise definition of bandwidth. In website hosting, the term "bandwidth" describes the transmission capacity of a network connection. So, a site with video streaming, for example, will require more bandwidth than a typical "static" site and the more bandwidth there is, the faster the connection.
Blogs have quickly evolved from simple online journals (or "web Logs") to highly effective marketing tools that can be used in diverse ways to interact with both current and future clients, publish archivals, deliver breaking news, etc. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; and yes, many still function as more personal online diaries. Recently the prevalence of blogs have given voice to millions of users who take advantage of these often free and robust server side applications. With no technical knowledge you can have a 'blog' website up in minutes. Most have numerous designs (or skins) to choose from, built in archival systems, tags to organize things by topic, the ability to include media and links, etc. They also include user interface's that easily allows folks to control and update their own content. Blogs can incorporated into existing sites or be a stand alone entity.
There are many blog providers, my favorite source for free blogs is Wordpress.

Common Gateway Interface. CGI is a small program that handles input and output from a web server. CGI Programs are used for a variety of purposes, including online forms, shopping carts, and database queries.
Information from a web server, stored on your computer by your web browser. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences and the contents of their electronic shopping carts.
Cookies have been subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any operation by themselves. Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies, but rejection makes some websites unusable. For example, shopping baskets implementing using cookies do not work if cookies are rejected.
Domain Name Service. A computer program that translates your IP address into your domain name on the web. When someone types in your domain name into their browser, the DNS searches for your web site's IP address and displays your web page.
Encryption is a form of cryptology that uses a mathematical algorithm to scramble data for security purposes. It is the process of transforming plain text to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key.
Encryption has long been used by militaries and governments to facilitate secret communication. Encryption is now used in protecting information within many kinds of civilian systems, such as computers, networks (e.g. the Internet e-commerce), mobile telephones, and bank automatic teller machines. Encryption is also used in digital rights management to restrict the use of copyrighted material and in software copy protection to protect against reverse engineering and software piracy.
File Transfer Protocol. The standard method to move files over a network. For example, when we upload the web pages we create here on our computers to a hosting server, we use an FTP client application.
Graphics Interchange Format. A GIF is an 8-bit-per-pixel compressed image format introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.
The format uses a palette of up to 256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for more simple images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.
