After reading this good article you will know some important
information about screensavers and their history. You will find
out how screensavers are different from other applications and
what advantages you\’ll have if you use them. If you have a
laptop or a notebook you can also find useful things.

I wonder if you have ever asked about what screensavers are in
fact. Because i did i made a little research and i am willing to
share with you what i learned. If you split the word
\”screensavers\” in to separate words it will result the words
\”screen\” and \”savers\”. So screensavers are some kind of
applications that \”saves your computer\”. So a screensaver can
only mean something good for your computer. But the real
question is what does exactly means? You must ask yourself if it
will harm your screen or it will help it. You can find all this
just by knowing the definition of the screensavers.

If you are curious and you search the net you will find a many
definitions. But i will try to list the best of them in this
article.

1. So a screensaver is some kind of a moving picture that
appears on your screen if you haven\’t moved your mouse or didn\’t
press any key for a period of time that you can set.
Screensavers prevent screen damage that is caused when the same
areas of light and dark are displayed for long periods of time.

2. A screensaver is a program that activates after a certain
amount of time has passed with no keyboard or mouse activity and
blanks the screen or display moving various objects across the
screen; these are used to prevent your screen from getting \”burn
in\”. So i think that you are begriming to understand.

3. You can also call it an animated picture that you can program
trough the display control panel. It will appear on the screen
of your computer after a time that you can program has elapsed.
The most important task of the screen saver is to reduce wear
and the CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) that can receive damage if the
same window is left for a long period of time.

So in conclusion after understanding the definitions of the
screensavers you should understand the benefits and try to use
one on your computer. You can find some tips about using
screensavers in the second part of this article.

For those of you who don’t really understand where or how your
web page is sitting on your hosting sever, this is a basic over
view of how it works.

A server is basically hardware and software and protocol. We
will go over these three basics of your hosting server.

• Server hardware.

Server hardware is so similar to your old PC hardware that the
price of server hardware has come down considerably. Down enough
that it’s tempting for a lot of us to host our own server. But
that’s a whole different article. All a server is:

• Very fast processor. • A large amount of RAM. • A vast amount
of Disk Space. • Connection to a T1 line (access to the outside
world).

The hardware is housed in very large office buildings. There are
many racks of servers filling these climate controlled rooms.
Most of the server host brag of their 99% or better uptime. This
is very impressive and another reason to use a server host. How
often have you re-booted your PC in the past?

• Software. (Operating system)

There different operating systems on the market. Most likely the
software on your server is running Apache on Linux, an open
source product. Servers need to be secured and an open source
application is more likely to be less buggy and more secure then
their larger competitor Microsoft.

These servers use an interface for you to access and configure
them, a control panel. Some control panels are more complicated
then others. Depending how technical you are, this is a point of
concern when picking a server host.

• Protocol. (FTP) To get your page on the server you need to FTP
(file transfer protocol). FTP is a client (you) server
application. If you created your page on your desk top,
obviously to share it you would need to get it on your server.
It’s also used to transfer files between your own pc to someone
else’s computer.

This is a very simplistic overview of what a server host is, but
I hope it will give you a basic idea how it works.
