These are software packages which provide services of one form or another over the Internet.
This category is for software only. Please submit other DNS-related sites to a more appropriate category, which might include Computers: Internet: Protocols: DNS and Computers: Internet: Domain Names.
Address Management is the process of maintaining and editing Domain Name Service (DNS) configurations. DNS ties text-based domain names to the numeric IP Addresses that are necessary to locate the domain's server on the net. Address Management solutions become necessary when:
  • An administrator needs to maintain many domain names.
  • An administrator needs to assign and track separate names for many machines within one domain.
  • A domain name changes IP address frequently, requiring Dynamic DNS (DDNS). This is most commonly used by individuals who connect their server to the internet using a modem.
This category is for software only. Please submit other DNS-related sites to a more appropriate category, which might include Computers: Internet: Protocols: DNS and Computers: Internet: Domain Names.
Downloadable software which delivers advertising content over the Internet. This includes banner servers and various schemes for manipulating and rotating Web advertising.

An application server is a piece of software designed to help make it easier for developers to isolate the business logic in their systems architecture (usually through components) and develop three-tier or n-tier applications. Typically application servers also offer additional features such as transaction management, clustering and fail-over, and load balancing.

CD

Servers that specialize in sending detailed information about audio compact discs.
Chat servers exist in a wide variety of formats and protocols. However, they all provide a facility for users to communicate with each other in real time, as opposed to holding conversations via less immediate means such as e-mail or Web message boards.
Any site for software which provides chat services over the Internet may be listed here.

Please note the difference between this category and Computers: Software: Internet: Clients: Chat, which lists client software for connecting to chat services.

If you are submitting a site about a particular chat service (eg. "Armand''s Cooking Chat") rather than the software which provides the service (eg. "GenericJavaServer v5.17b"), please go to Computers: Internet: Chat and choose the appropriate subcategory.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a software standard for transferring computer files between machines with widely different operating systems. It belongs to the application layer of the Internet protocol suite. FTP is an 8-bit client-server protocol, capable of handling any type of file without further processing, such as MIME or Uuencode. However, FTP has extremely high latency; that is, the time between beginning the request and starting to receive the required data can be quite long, and a sometimes-lengthy login procedure is required.
This category is for Gopher server software only. If you want to suggest a Gopher server i.e. a gopher site instead, please head over to Computers/Internet/Protocols/Gopher.
Sites related to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server software.
This category is specifically for server-level spam filters. Spam filters that operate on individual mailboxes (that is, mail filters that operate at the client level) belong generally in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients.

A spam filter that is a plug-in to a specific mail-reading program (or is a description of how to write filtering rules for that program) belongs in the category for that mail reading program. (For example, spam filters for Eudora belong in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Eudora.)

A spam filter that is a standalone application meant to be run by a client should go to Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Windows/Tools/Anti-Spam (if it is a Windows program), or Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/ if it runs on any other operating system.

Spam filters that work with only one type of mail server should go in the category for that particular server; for example, Sendmail filter rules belong in Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Mail/Sendmail. There are similar categories for a variety of mail servers in Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Mail. If there is no category for the mail server your spam filters are written for, you can submit them here. Procmail filters go in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Unix/Procmail whether or not you think procmail is a client.

In addition, more general spam sites belong in Computers/Internet/Abuse/Spam. Hosted spam services belong in Computers/Internet/Abuse/Spam/Filtering

Most of these use the Network Time Protocol. Information on that protocol can be found in Computers/Internet/Protocols/NTP. Client software for synchronizing a computer's clock can be found in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Time. Web sites which provide the current time as well as sites with general information on time can be found in Reference/Time.
