MySQL |
| |
SQL
stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is an international
standard in querying and retrieving information from databases.
MySQL is essentially an SQL server - it responds to requests
for information that are written in SQL. You can communicate
with MySQL using a wide variety of programming languages (PHP
being one of the most common). MySQL is Open Source software
and free for use.

phpMyAdmin
is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration
of MySQL over the Web. |

Cron
jobs |
| |
Cron
jobs allow you to automate repetitive tasks on the server that
hosts your web site. This is a powerful tool that allows you
to take a hands-free approach to repetitive tasks. |

MIME
types |
| |
MIME
types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. Most
MIME types are set globally on the server. For example, the
text/html MIME type equates to htm, html, and shtml extensions
on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all
files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or
add new MIME types specifically for your site (note that you
can not alter the global MIME type values, only add to them).
MIME types are often used to handle new technologies as they
appear. When WAP technology first appeared no one had these
extensions set up on their server. With MIME types, however,
you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages
immediately. |

Apache
Handlers |
| |
Apache
is an open-source HTTP server, and is used to serve your site.
Apache handlers tell the server how to deal with web files that
need to be processed on the server. For example, Apache is set
up to process files with .pl extensions using Perl. However,
if for some reason you also wanted to process files with .script
extension using Perl, then you would have to set up a custom
Apache handler for your site.

OpenPGP Keys |
| |
OpenPGP
is a tool for secure online communication. CPanel uses GnuPG
for its public-key cryptography so that users may communicate
securely. Each person gets a pair of keys, called the public
key and the private key. Each person's public key is published
while the private key is kept secret. Messages are encrypted
using the intended recipient's public key and can only be decrypted
using their private key.
