What is an email address? |
| |
An e-mail address identifies an electronic destination to which
an electronic message can be delivered. A modern Internet email
address (using SMTP) is a string of the form myname@domain.com.
It should be read as "myname" at "domain" dot com. The part
before the @ sign is the local-part of the address, often the
username of the recipient or destination, and the part after the
@ sign is a domain name which can be looked up in the Domain
Name System to find the mail exchange servers accepting email
for that address. The first part of the address, the email user
name, identifies a unique user on an email server. The @ symbol
separates the user name from the host or server name. The host
name uniquely identifies the server computer and is the last
part of the Internet email address. The three letter suffix in
the host or server name identifies the kind of organization
operating the server such as .com for commercial organizations,
edu for educational institutions and so on. |

What is an Instant Messenger name?
An Instant Message allows electronic communications to happen in
real time and an Instant Messenger name or user ID identify the
electronic destinations to which the messages terminate. For
example email can be compared to a letter sent in the mail while
instant messaging can be compared to a conversation over the
phone. Instant messaging requires the use of a client program
that hooks up an instant messaging service. Most services offer
a presence information feature, indicating whether people on
one's list of contacts are currently online and available to
chat. This may be called a 'Buddy List'. In early instant
messaging programs, each letter appeared as it was typed, and
when letters were deleted to correct typos this was also seen in
real time. This made it more like a telephone conversation than
exchanging letters. In modern instant messaging programs, the
other party in the conversation generally only sees each line of
text right after a new line is started. Most instant messaging
applications also include the ability to set a status message,
roughly analogous to the message on a telephone answering
machine. |

What is the difference between a
Domain Name, an IP Address and a Computer host Name? |
| |
|
| |
Domain names are similar to vanity phone numbers where words are
assigned to represent the phone number.
Domain name is a text name that a computer network registers for
the numerical ID of the computers in the network. The domain name is used to give
computers text names rather than using the numeric IP addresses.
Domain name examples are Abika.com,
cnn.com, usatoday.com. Computer (host) name are names given to
individual computers. Each host name corresponds to an IP
address. Host names and domain names are optional and everything
can work fine with using just IP Addresses. Examples of host
names: www.cnn.com,
mail.people.com, Cust149.tnt3.sfo3.da.UU.net and so on. |

a proxy server? Proxy server is a computer system, server, or
an application program that forwards the requests of it clients to
other servers or applications. A client connects to the proxy
server, requesting a service, such as a file, connection, web
page, email, instant message or other resource that is available
from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource
by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service
on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the
client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may
serve the request without contacting the specified server. In
this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote
server, so it could save the information for later, and make
everything as fast as possible. |

What affects the relevancy of results?
Lookups are a cooperative process. They help you deduce possible
Names, Addresses, IP's, sources or locations through your search criteria and
public resources. Your input criteria such as reason for search, your
observations and descriptions affect relevancy. It is generally very easy
to create and close email and IMs and therefore it can be
possible that over a period of time many different results could
be associated with the same criteria. Please also note that
Email addresses, IP's, Usernames or Instant Messenger names can
be reused by many users over a period of time. Statistically the
newer or less active the email or IM the lower the probability
of verifiable Name(s), location(s) or other results associated
with them. Depending on many variables there may be no one magic
search or answer to lookup an email, IP, IM or
username. Lookups estimate results through your search criteria
and public resources and will not search or access any private service provider records. |
