A web content management system (WCMS) is a software system which provides website authoring and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage the site's content with relative ease.
Most systems use a database to store content, metadata, or artifacts that might be needed by the system. Content is frequently, but not universally, stored as XML, to facilitate, reuse, and enable flexible presentation options.
A presentation layer displays the content to Web-site visitors based on a set of templates. The templates are sometimes XSLT files.
Most systems use server side caching boosting performance. This works best when the WCMS is not changed often but visits happen on a regular basis.
Administration is typically done through browser-based interfaces, but some systems require the use of a fat client.
Unlike Web-site builders, a WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to a website with little training. A WCMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a Web-site maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

Top Domain
A top-level domain (TLD) is one of the domains at the highest level in the hierarchical Domain Name System of the Internet. The top-level domain names are installed in the root zone of the name space. For all domains in lower levels, it is the last part of the domain name, that is, the last label of a fully qualified domain name. For example, in the domain name www.example.com, the top-level domain is com, or COM, as domain names are not case-sensitive. Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
Originally, the top-level domain space was organized into three main groups, Countries, Categories, and Multiorganizations. An additional temporary group consisted only of the initial DNS domain, arpa, intended for transitional purposes toward the stabilization of the domain name system.
Countries are designated in the Domain Name System by their two-letter ISO country code there are exceptions, however (e.g., .uk). This group of domains is therefore commonly known as country-code top-level domains (ccTLD).
The Categories group has become known as the generic top-level domains. Initially this group consisted of GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, and NET.
In the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to create additional generic top-level domains. Some of the initial domains' purposes were also generalized, modified, or assigned for maintenance to special organizations affiliated with the intended purpose.

dedicated server
A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.

About Web Hosting?
What About Web Hosting?
Okay, so whether you decide to reserve your domain name first through a company like www.godaddy.com, www.yahoo.com/domains, or www.register.com, you will ultimately need a web hosting company to store the physical pages and data of web your web site.. (pictures movies, flash files, even just basic text pages, anything that makes up a web site). A lot of domain registrars like the ones above, have their own hosting services and "simplified web site creators" which may be ideal for very basic personal pages, however most people like to have more control of their web space - especially small businesses that will want a web site with a professional design and appearance. These companies range in price based on the needs of what you are searching for, whether that be selling products online, blogging, or just having a few pictures or basic text about yourself or business.Price will generally range from $2 to $20 a month in the beginner range, but could go up onwards dependent on just how complex your web site and storage requirements are. Sample hosting companies that are popular in this range are www.ipower.com, www.1and1.com, smallbusinses.yahoo.com www.powweb.com, www.hostgator.com. We actually like Yahoo, for its simple interface and easy domain registration / hosting combination, so that is one company to take a special look into. The list goes on, generally most of these providers are roughly the same. For those looking for a ridiculously inexpensive hosting service we found a company called DayanaHost (www.dayanahost.com) with a super basic hosting plan for just $14.95 a year but only 10MG of storage. An option like this is only practical for the most basic of brochure web sites. You would be able to have a significant amount of text, but would have to be careful on overloading the site with images in that scenario.
Otherwise most standard web hosts offer quite enough storage, bandwidth, and email addresses for around $70-$100 a year... Often they will say "unlimited" which logically cannot be possible, but is for the average user. It means they don't impose stringent limits on what you can upload and store to your web site - Usually this is around 150GB of storing files (pictures, images, pages, web applications). In terms of bandwidth. First off what is bandwidth? That simply is a restriction on how much web traffic you are allowed... Generally it costs a hosting provider money to transfer the data from your web site to your visitors. Literally just going to a web site costs a hosting provider money due to the transferring of that data. However unless your site is gaining phenomonal amounts of traffic most hosting providers do not impose limits on this either. If your web site is so popular that enormous amounts of data are being transferred, that would be a good thing meaning you are probably gaining web traffic, profit and thus can look into upgrading your hosting package to a more advanced plan.
Storage is the disk space for your files, images, pages, web applications, videos, etc.

Free Hosting Services
A free web hosting service is a web hosting service that is free, usually advertisement-supported. Free web hosts will usually provide a subdomain (yoursite.example.com) or a directory (www.example.com/~yourname). In contrast, paid web hosts will usually provide a second-level domain along with the hosting (www.yourname.com). Many free hosts do allow use of separately-purchased domains. Rarely, a free host may also operate as a domain name registrar.
The right to use a domain name is delegated by domain name registrars which are accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization charged with overseeing the name and number systems of the Internet. In addition to ICANN, each top-level domain (TLD) is maintained and serviced technically by an administrative organization, operating a registry. A registry is responsible for maintaining the database of names registered within the TLD it administers. The registry receives registration information from each domain name registrar authorized to assign names in the corresponding TLD and publishes the information using a special service, the whois protocol.
Registries and registrars usually charge an annual fee for the service of delegating a domain name to a user and providing a default set of name servers. Often this transaction is termed a sale or lease of the domain name, and the registrant may sometimes be called an "owner", but no such legal relationship is actually associated with the transaction, only the exclusive right to use the domain name. More correctly, authorized users are known as "registrants" or as "domain holders".
