This document provides information about a service called Upload.gs that allows for large file transfers over the internet. It discusses limitations of email and other methods for large file transfers. Upload.gs aims to have no file size limits, allow resuming of interrupted transfers, and be compatible with both Windows and Mac systems. It also details account pricing and system requirements. Security features prevent account holders from seeing each other's files. The service can also make uploaded files available to designated downloaders without resending the files.
A Fairer, Faster Internet Protocol
The Internet is founded on a very simple premise: shared communications
links are more efficient than dedicated channels that lie idle much of the time.
And so we share. We share local area networks at work and neighborhood
links from home. And then we share again—at any given time, a terabit
backbone cable is shared among thousands of folks surfing the Web,
downloading videos, and talking on Internet phones.
But there’s a profound flaw in the protocol that governs how people share the
Internet’s capacity. The protocol allows you to seem to be polite, even as you
elbow others aside, taking far more resources than they do.
Network providers like Verizon and BT either throw capacity at the problem or
improvise formulas that attempt to penalize so-called bandwidth hogs. Let me
speak up for this much-maligned beast right away: bandwidth hogs are not
the problem. There is no need to prevent customers from downloading huge
amounts of material, so long as they aren’t starving others.
Rather than patching over the problem, my colleagues and I at BT (formerly
British Telecom) have worked out how to fix the root cause: the Internet’s
sharing protocol itself. It turns out that this solution will make the Internet not
just simpler but much faster too.

Here are the key points about how e-mail works:
- E-mail is composed and sent using a mail user agent (MUA) like Outlook or Gmail. This attaches the message to an e-mail protocol like SMTP.
- The message is passed from the MUA to a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) like an SMTP server. This acts as the initial sender.
- The MTA breaks the message into packets and adds routing information to each packet header.
- Packets are routed independently through different computer networks and may take different paths to the destination.
- Intermediate MTAs receive packets and route them towards the destination domain based on DNS lookups.

Gradwell offers secure email and website hosting packages for businesses. Their flexible hosting plans provide email boxes, web space, data transfer allowance and support for a monthly fee. Email hosting includes POP3/IMAP inboxes from 100 to 1000, and up to 20GB of storage. Website hosting provides up to 20GB of web space. Additional services include domain registration, email forwarding and SMTP outbound email.
AD, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3 and FTP use specific port numbers. The FTP server accepts incoming FTP requests and copies files to a publishing folder for access over the network. Virtual hosting refers to multiple websites hosted on one server, with each site virtually shared and not dedicated. Cloud computing infrastructure differs from traditional client-server models by using a main cloud controller and worker nodes/clusters to process requests from clients.
SMTP is a protocol that handles the delivery of emails between servers. It works behind the scenes to move emails from the sender's computer to the recipient's inbox in a store-and-forward manner, passing through multiple servers along the way and briefly storing emails at each step. An SMTP relay service receives emails from a client and queues them for delivery to the final destination, either successfully delivering the email or returning a non-delivery report. It provides reputation-based filtering to help ensure only legitimate emails are delivered.
The document discusses the application layer in computer networks, including common network application architectures like client-server and peer-to-peer, as well as protocols like HTTP that are used to enable applications to communicate over the network. It also covers how processes communicate with each other using sockets, and how applications map processes to addresses using the Domain Name System (DNS).
The document discusses high performance infrastructure for Server Density which includes 150 servers that have been running since June 2009 and migrated from MySQL to MongoDB. It stores 25TB of data per month. Key aspects of performance discussed are using fast networks like 10 Gigabit Ethernet on AWS, ensuring high memory, using SSDs over spinning disks for performance, and factors like replication lag based on location. The document also compares options like using cloud, dedicated servers, or colocation and discusses monitoring, backups, dealing with outages, and other operational aspects.

This document discusses how high-speed dial-up internet connections work. It explains that high-speed dial-up providers like NetZero and EarthLink aim to make dial-up connections up to 5 times faster than traditional dial-up. This is achieved through the use of acceleration servers that simplify the connection process, file compression to reduce data sizes during transfer, filtering of unnecessary content like pop-up ads to reduce slowdowns, and caching of frequently accessed content to avoid repeated downloading. These techniques help improve the speed and usability of dial-up connections for users not yet ready to switch to broadband internet.
Team 4 Presents: The Client Server Model anniekate93
The document introduces the client server model used to access the internet. It discusses how a client like a web browser on a computer or phone connects to an internet server to request and receive webpages or other online resources. It explains that the client sends an HTTP request to the server's IP address, the server then returns the requested page if found or an error message if not found. The document also covers how the client server model revolutionized information transfer and some pros and cons of the model for organizations to consider.

Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like data storage, servers, databases, networking, software, analytics and more over the internet ("the cloud") instead of owning them locally. It provides on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. Some key benefits include lower costs since users only pay for resources used, access to latest software versions, unlimited storage, universal access to documents, and easier collaboration. However, it also requires a constant internet connection to access resources and features may be limited compared to locally installed software. Data security and potential for loss of stored data are also disadvantages.
This document provides information on different types of computer networks including local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). It then discusses various networking components such as network interface cards, switches, bridges, routers, and different types of network cabling including unshielded twisted pair, coaxial, fiber optic, and wireless networking. The document also provides specifications for Ethernet cable types and their maximum lengths.
The document discusses how cloud computing and virtualization are changing assumptions about application deployment and infrastructure management. It provides examples of how companies like Amazon are offering cloud services like EC2 and S3 for flexible, on-demand computing resources and storage. New distributed computing paradigms like MapReduce are also discussed as better fits for large datasets than traditional databases on single servers. The challenges of managing applications and infrastructure in these dynamic, large-scale environments are also summarized.
This document discusses message queues, which allow for the asynchronous and reliable communication between systems. Message queues provide benefits like durability, scalability, and offline processing. Examples are given where message queues could be used for asynchronous tasks like sending notification emails after a photo upload or processing videos after upload. Common message queue services and servers are listed.
This document discusses principles of network applications. It describes how network applications involve programs running on different end systems that communicate over a network. It provides examples of the browser and web server communicating in a web application, and programs sharing files in a P2P system. The document outlines that when developing a new application, software must be written to run on multiple end systems, and can be written in languages like C, Java or Python. It also describes processes communicating by exchanging messages, and different network application architectures like client-server and peer-to-peer.

This document summarizes a presentation given to an IT professional group about MessageFlow services. MessageFlow was founded in 1998 and offers hosting, email, and reseller services. MessageFlow's services help companies with on-premise email servers address issues like downtime, spam, and IP address changes during office moves or broadband provider changes. It does this through store-and-forward messaging and real-time blacklisting, valid user, and content-based spam filtering. MessageFlow also offers a reseller program where IT professionals can sell its services. The presentation outlines MessageFlow's benefits and pricing, and provides examples of current and past clients.
Maintaining a website through regular updates is important to keep information accurate and up-to-date for visitors. Room101 offers fixed monthly maintenance fees to handle routine updates and bug fixes, with the cost depending on the level of changes needed. The fee aims to provide fairness over time and can be reduced by allowing some self-updates without involving Room101. Payment is typically monthly by invoice but standing orders can also be set up.
This document provides information about a domain name grabbing service offered by Room101 internet services. The summary is:
The service continually monitors client wishlists for expired domain names and attempts to re-register names within minutes of expiration to acquire desirable names before competitors. There is no guarantee of success due to random expiration timing and high competition from other grabbing services. If acquired, the domain is registered for two years and Room101 invoices £75 plus VAT for the registration and monitoring service.
The document discusses domain name registration and ownership. It emphasizes that domain names must be properly registered to the correct legal entity in order to avoid cancellation or legal issues. It warns that registering a domain name without understanding ownership rights could allow it to be taken away, which would undermine any marketing spent to build the brand. The document recommends registering with Room101 to properly protect your domain name and investment.
This document provides information on why businesses should use Room101's Outgoing Email Service. It notes that broadband providers have started restricting outgoing email usage due to spamming issues. Room101's service avoids these restrictions by using authenticated SMTP and works from any location. It also has reliable servers that can send large emails and mailshots without issues. The service costs around £120 per year and helps businesses avoid problems like delayed emails during peak times or emails getting blacklisted.
This document provides information about sending email broadcasts through Room101 internet services. It discusses using Room101's technique to prevent mailing lists from falling into the wrong hands. The technique involves hosting images on a client's web server and linking to them to avoid slowing down email delivery. It also notes limitations like inability to send attachments. Pricing is provided based on the number of recipients, with discounts for annual programs.
- The document is an information sheet describing a web and email hosting service called "Hosting City" provided by Room101 Limited for IT support companies to resell to their clients.
- Hosting City provides a feature-rich control panel that allows IT companies to configure email, web hosting, and other services for their clients in various combinations to suit different needs.
- Room101 operates their own datacenter and charges IT companies a low monthly fee per domain hosted, allowing the IT companies to set their own prices and add value through support services.
Self-updateable pages allow users to easily edit web page content through a secure admin area, ensuring information stays current. Updates take around 45 seconds and require no special skills. The pages are tailored specifically for each client's needs and save money compared to frequent designer updates. Initial setup costs are £120-£200 and then pages can run smoothly for years with simple content updates.
Room101 provides a spam filtering service called MessageFlow that works with Microsoft Exchange. MessageFlow filters emails through multiple techniques including blacklists, valid user checks, and proprietary content analysis. It offers advantages over standalone Exchange by filtering emails before they reach clients' servers to reduce spam load. MessageFlow routes emails through redundant servers to avoid issues from single points of failure. It charges per block of 5 domain names with no setup fee and offers resellers a 30% discount on the annual £250+VAT fee.
This document provides information about a web and email hosting service called "Hosting City" for web designers. Some key points:
- Hosting City allows web designers to offer hosting services to their clients and charge a monthly fee without dealing directly with customers.
- Designers are given a control panel to manage domains and hosting plans, including web hosting, email, databases and more.
- Infrastructure is provided through a secure datacenter and designers can brand the control panel for their clients.
- Support is offered to designers on using the control panel but the hosting company will not interact directly with clients. Pricing includes a monthly control panel fee and per domain hosting fees.
Room101 offers a free website migration service to transfer websites from their current hosts or designers to Room101's servers. The migration ensures all parts of the website are moved without losing data or breaking functionality. Migrations that take less than 3 hours are free, with additional time charged hourly. Customers can review their migrated site at a temporary URL before it goes live. Room101 also offers ongoing hosting and support options after a migration is complete. To get started, customers can call for a no-obligation consultation to determine if Room101 can help migrate their site.
MessageFlow is an email filtering service that fights spam without slowing down office networks. It ensures legitimate emails are delivered quickly while storing spam and queued emails safely to be delivered once broadband connectivity is restored. Priced competitively with no per user fees, MessageFlow uses a dual network system so one tower can still operate if the other is blocked.
This document appears to provide examples of web sites from 2009 and 2010. While no specific websites are mentioned, the title indicates it contains a list of example websites from those two years. The brevity of the document leaves much of the intended content and purpose unclear within the constraints of a 3 sentence summary.
MessageFlow is a spam filtering service from Room101 that routes email through its servers before delivering to clients. It uses real-time blacklists, valid user checks, and proprietary content filtering to block around 99% of spam, reducing strain on clients' networks. MessageFlow also provides increased email reliability by storing messages if the client's connection is down. Pricing is £250 per year per client, or £175 for resellers.
