What the heck is a Wiki
Long story short: It's a fancy collaborative website that allows each user to edit the contents of any page, like wikipedia. Therefore all of you can add or edit to these notes if you wish.
For more information, you can read about them here - wiki
History of the Internet
The Internet started in the 1960s as a way for government researchers to share information. The internet that we know today started in the early 1990s with the introduction of the World Wide Web.

Registering Your Domain Names
The process of looking good online begins with registering your domain name(s).
I have created a Domain Registrars reference page for you here.
- You should really consider registering your domain name at a legitimate domain registrar and hosing at a separate company. It will provide you with much more flexibility and protection should something go wrong.
- Sending web traffic to one host, or multiple hosts and redirecting your email traffic is all done from your Domain Registrar
- Photographers: Why You Need a Pro Domain Name - just ignore the photoswarm.com parts.
