Everyone always argues over POP3 and IMAP.
POP3 or Post Office Protocol, essentially means that when you press the send and receive button, you are downloading that mail from the server. Therefore the only copy of that email exists on your computer, not on the mail server or anywhere else. Not great if you want to read your email on the move.
IMAP lets you download a copy of that email. Therefore when you want to access your email from your iPad instead of your desktop, you can do, as all your mail is stored on the server as well as on your computer / iPad / phone / any other device.
Therefore I can only recommend IMAP. The number of times I've seen people loose all their mail then complain that the email server didn't have a copy is silly. Just use IMAP from now on and hopefully the number of these cases will go down!
POP3 is great if you want to be extremely secure and you use decent backup procedures. However, that's not most people, so go with IMAP as your default!

To give you an example of some of the more common terms:
And there is plenty more where that came from!

To give you an example of some of the more common terms:
DNS - Domain Name System. The system via which all domain names are directed to IP addresses. This system allows URLs to work. Without it you would be remembering an awful lot of numbers!
ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - ICANN coordinate unique addresses across the Internet, from IP Addresses to Domain Names. They coordinate the Domain Name System (DNS), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, Generic Top-Level Domains and Country Code Top-Level Domains. They are the highest authority in the domain name industry.
WHOIS – A protocol to query the databases that hold all the registrant details of Domain Names, IP Addresses and Networks. This allows Domain Names tobe attributed to a certain person or organisation.
And there is plenty more where that came from!

Web Wise Forum. The only Domain Name Forum you need!
Hi Everyone!
We finally decided to fill our boots with Blogger. (We're massive fans of Google in general!)
Web Wise Forum is one of the best domain name forums online. We discuss all sorts of Internet related stuff; domain names, web hosting, SEO, social media and everything inbetween.
If you head over to the site you will see what I'm talking about.
There are loads of things in the domain name world to discuss. Who is your favourite domain name registrar for example? Or who do you go to when you need web hosting. Our users always give an honest opinion.
We are also privileged enough to have a number of registrar and hosting company staff that visit the forums and give expert answers to your questions. We love to help each other and user answers are normally pretty good but you can't beat an expert opinion!
Besides that, we've also got a domain name selling and buying section with a feedback system embedded in the forum. If you've got a great domain but don't have time to develop it then list it for sale in the 'For Sale' section.
Even further than that we often post offer codes that you can use to get some money off your latest domain name purchase.
So if you've got a problem with your email MX records, your A record isn't propogating correctly, your chosen domain name is taken and you want to find out what people think is a good alternative then look no further.
It would be great to have you all on board with us and have you as part of this amazing community. There's so much to talk about and so many people to give opinions!
What are you waiting for head over to Web Wise Forum now and get yourself signed up!
Just send me, Barney, a private message if you need any help or if your activation has not yet been put through.
Thanks all!
See you on the boards!
David
