Webmaster
A webmaster is responsible for the administration and maintenance of a
website. Often, the webmaster is also the owner of the website as well as the
domain that belongs to it. Once you have registered a domain in the MAGIX
Website Service, an email account will automatically be set up, for example:
"mailto:webmaster@domainname.co.uk".
Webserver
Webserver refers to the computer on which your host saves your website's
pages and which makes your pages accessible on the Internet 24-hours a day.
WMA
A process developed by Microsoft for compressing audio files with properties
similar to those of MP3.
WMV
Windows Media Video (WMV) is a trademark video codec from Microsoft. If you
have Windows installed on your PC, then playing WMV files shouldn't be a
problem. Only a few (hardware) DVD players are able to play this format. Read
more about this in your DVD player's manual.
This video format is very good for web videos as it allows relatively high
compression rates.
World Wide Web (WWW)
WWW stands for "World Wide Web" and is the most used service of the
Internet. On the WWW, web browsers (for example, Internet Explorer) are used
to display information via websites. The process is colloquially called "Surfing
the Internet".
