Q: How much does a web site cost?
A: Professionally developed web sites start at about $1,000 and can reach into the tens to hundreds of thousands, depending on the complexity and amount of information your company needs to present.
A: A database is an organized collection of information. Some examples: telephone book, student directory, and excel spreadsheet. These are miniature examples of a database. A database leaves you with endless possibilities to dynamically drive your content to your client.
A: Your computer is at risk when it is connected to the Internet, either through a dial-up (modem) connection, through a broadband (DSL or cable) service, and even through large ISP T1 and greater Connections. Without a firewall, your computer is operating under an "open door" policy. Hackers can get in; take your information, passwords, documents and photos. It leaves a "back door" open so that hackers can turn your computer into a "zombie" and use it to attack other computers.
A: Without a current version or frequently updated anti-virus software, you're PC and all its data and programs are at risk from any one of the thousands of viruses and their variants. These Viruses can spread into your corporate network as well as leave "Back doors" for hackers.
Q: What is a Computer Network?
A: Networking is a group of connected computers that allow the sharing of information and equipment. The most basic network is made up of two computers connected by some kind of cable in order to exchange information more quickly and efficiently.
A: A WAN is a Wide Area Network. It is a group of computers connected through bridges, routers, hubs and repeaters. The network may extend across buildings on a campus, across the country, or even around the world.
A: A server can accomplish many things including sharing documents more reliably than a peer-to-peer network. The centralized storage area can have added redundancy to protect important documents. Tasks such as backing up documents can be automated so that they are performed on a regular basis and with minimal user intervention. Placing the server in a locked room or cabinet can enhance physical security. Logical security is met by a user account database physically on the server. This account database will authenticate a user's user name and password without relying on the individual PC.
