customer service, and reliability - and often to stimulate inquiries from new customers or
partners.
- Brochure and Catalogue websites. A brochure website is one that is designed to display a
company's products and services for online viewing. It will most likely include testimonials,
case studies, relevant photos, and video.
- eCommerce Websites. An eCommerce website (an abbreviation for Electronic Commerce
website) is one that is built and set up to allow clients to make direct online purchases of all
a business's products or services, including payment via an online gateway. This can be done
at any time of day or night, without the need for a phone call or any direct communication
with the company.

- According to one.com (n.d.), A top-level domain (TLD) is the part of a domain that comes
after the dot, for example, com, org, or net. Generally, you can divide TLDs into two types:
a) Generic top-level domains (gTLD) - Roughly all domains that are not associated with
a country. The most known are com, org and net. All gTLDs fall under ICANN's
policies.

country or geographical location, for example, de, nl or dk. A ccTLD always consists
out of two letters.

8. What are the two types of ISP?


- Here are at least 2 typed of an ISP:
a) Broadband Cable. Broadband cable connectivity is often provided by cable TV
service providers. Connection speeds may vary based on the number of people
serviced at any one time. It should be noted that access speed is also affected by a
consumer's geographical location. Because users share bandwidth, the greater the
number of users in a certain location, the slower the connection.
b) Wi-Fi Broadband. Another form of connectivity service is Wi-Fi broadband. It
enables several people to access the Internet with greater ease. Users can roam
around and stay connected because they are not needed to stay connected to a
modem. Most users do so with a pocket Wi-Fi gadget, which allows them to bring
connectivity with them wherever they go.
9. DNS stands for? And give some examples.

a) Microsoft Edge (Chromium based, Default Windows browser)
b) Google Chrome (Chromium based)
