The IP Address is a unique number assigned to your computer connection by your home or office or employer's Internet Service Provider (ISP). This unique number serves as the ID of your connection when it's accessing the Internet. It functions like your street address—if someone wants to send you mail or you order a pizza, your address is needed for the postman or delivery person to find your home. The same process applies to your computer, your IP address is used to route information from the Internet to your computer. An IP Address is a way to measure a user's unique identity. It is a number that is allocated to your browser by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or employer, when you log on to the internet. It is usually allocated on a temporary (or dynamic) basis ie it is only allocated to your browser for the duration of that session online. It is the 'address' of your computer while you are online.

Pop-up ads are just one form of internet advertising used by advertisers to get web users' attention. Among these other types of ads are ads located within a page you're reading, ads that appear when you're clicking from one page to another (these are called interstitials), ads that appear when you've searched for a keyword or term, ads that are highly animated or appear as interactive games, ads that appear like stand alone websites, ads that appear in email, branded sites or sponsored webpages (the advertiser's brand appears on all pages and the page composition might have been modified to fit the advertiser's logo or brand colors/layout), paid listing, and many others. The only limit really is ever changing online media technology and that's not much of a

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an older protocol for moving files back and forth over the Internet and other networks. All modern web browsers still speak FTP, which was sometimes used as a substitute for HTTP in the early days of the web. FTP is still used often as a means of downloading large files. Many web hosts still offer FTP as the preferred way of uploading new web pages to a website. However, because there is no encryption of your password, FTP is not the best choice for this purpose. And since there is no encryption of the files being moved, FTP is a poor choice indeed for more sensitive information. SFTP (Secure FTP) is a popular replacement. Built on SSL, SFTP is just as secure as HTTPS. And most modern FTP clients, such as the free, high-quality FileZilla program for Windows, support both FTP and SFTP. SFTP offers a set of features quite similar to FTP and will be immediately familiar to FTP users, although it works quite differently "under the hood." Ever
