Bandwidth
How many people can view your website or files before the site crashes. For example, my website's bandwidth is 75 gigabytes a month. If I had only one file on my website and it was exactly 1 gigabyte in size, then 75 people could view the file. When the 76th person tried to view the file, it would not work. If you find your website often crashes or uses up all the bandwidth, you will probably need to upgrade your website hosting.
Chmod
"Chmodding" a file means changing the permissions of that file — who can access and/or modify the file? If your website uses cPanel, the option to chmod is in the "File Manager".
CSS
(Cascading Style Sheets) A programming language that allows you to style HTML documents. You cannot create actual content with CSS.
cPanel
Many paid website hosts have cPanel installed. You can usually access it by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel. The cPanel lets you do lots of things to your website, including viewing stats, changing files, using databases, and much more.
Domain
Your own special website address. My domain is www.coolcherrycream.com. Domains are paid for in real money.
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) A programming language that forms the basis of everything you see on the web.
Favicon
The image that appears beside the website address in the address bar or beside the website name in your bookmarks.
Javascript
A programming language with interactive features. This is not the same as Java.
MySQL
A database management system.
PHP

phpMyAdmin
An interface to access MySQL databases.
Subdomain
A site inside a site. fan.coolcherrycream.com is a subdomain of the domain coolcherrycream.com. If you cannot afford or do not want to buy your own domain, you may be able to ask a friend to give you a subdomain on their website.
URL
(Uniform Resource Locator) Another word for a website address. The URL of this page is https://spiders.coolcherrycream.com/tutorials/dictionary.html. Something like C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\ is technically not a URL, and it will not work on the internet. That file is on your computer and only you can access it. You must upload the file to the internet for other people to be able to see it.
