<<BIND   3%

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most commonly used DNS server on the Internet, especially on Unix-like systems, where it is a de facto standard. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides translations between domain names (used by humans) and Internet addresses (used by machines). This process is called DNS resolution and is linked with applications requiring name service.

<<CGI   3%

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard protocol for interfacing external application software with an information server, commonly a web server. This allows the server to pass requests from a client web browser to the external application. It's generally a CGI script that deals with the input of a form on a Web page and return the output from the application to the web browser.

<<CMS   7%

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software system for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and publishing websites. A web content management system is often used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of web material ( HTML documents and their associated images). A CMS facilitates document editing. It offers standard visual templates that can be automatically applied to new and existing content, creating one central place to change that look across a group of content on a site. Most CMS software include WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content. Active CMS solutions usually receive regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards. The most commons free CMS are : Joomla! , Spip , Drupal , BitFlux , eZPublish , Plume , Typo3 , Postnuke ...

<<HTML   3%

HTML, short for Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), surrounded by less-than and greater-than signs. Technically is HTML an application of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). The HTML development has been stopped since 1999. It's successor, the XHTML , is an application of the Extensible Markup Language ( XML ).

<<LAMP   3%

The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software programs, commonly open-source programs, used together to run dynamic Web sites on servers. The original combination of these technologies is as follows: Linux , referring to the operating system ; Apache , the Web server ; MySQL , the database management system (or database server) ; PHP , the programming language. More recently, the P has come to refer frequently to Perl or Python as alternate programming languages. At all2all, standard LAMP systems also feature PostgreSQL as alternative database.

<<Mono   3%

Mono is a free implementation of the Microsoft .NET document standard to be run on Unix -like server system. Mono is licensed under GPL , LGPL and MIT and is shipped with the Debian Etch distribution . For more details, see : http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

<<MP3   7%

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding format. It uses a lossy compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners (above 128kbps). Although people tend to think it's free because it is gratis, MP3 is a proprietary standard that was invented by a team of European engineers of Philips, CCETT, IRT and Fraunhofer Society. These patent issue significantly slowed the development of unlicensed MP3 software and led to increased focus on popularizing an alternative like the Ogg Vorbis, created by Xiph.org , with a higher quality standard.

<<PGP   3%

PGP Encryption (Pretty Good Privacy) is a computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication. It is based on asymetric encryption (one public key + one private key) and was originally created by Philip Zimmermann in 1991. Shortly after its release, PGP encryption found its way outside the US, and in February 1993 Zimmermann became the formal target of a criminal investigation by the US Government for violating the export regulations. Since the end of the 90's, PGP encryption no longer meets the definition of a non-exportable weapon and can be exported internationally except to 7 specific countries.PGP and other similar products follow the OpenPGP standard for encrypting and decrypting data. To encrypt your messages, we advise you to use either GnuPG (for MacOS and Linux ) or WinPT (for Windows).

<<POP3   3%

The Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is an application-layer Internet standard protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a remote server over a TCP/IP connection and store them on one's personal computer hard disc, in contrast to the IMAP protocol that leaves the messages on the server. POP3 uses TCP on network port 110. POP3S (POP3 over SSL) uses SSL to encrypt and secure the communications on port 995.

<<SMTP   3%

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the de facto standard for outgoing e-mail transmissions across the Internet. SMTP is a "push" protocol that does not allow one to "pull" messages from a remote server on demand. To do this a mail client must use POP3 or IMAP .

<<SQL   3%

SQL (sometimes expanded as Structured Query Language) is a computer language used to create, retrieve, update and delete data from relational database management systems . SQL has been standardized by both ANSI and ISO.

<<SSH   3%

Secure Shell or SSH is a both an application for remote administration of Unix-like servers and a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. SSH is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also supports tunneling, forwarding arbitrary TCP ports and X11 connections; it can transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary. An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22.

<<Standard system installation   14%

You will find hereunder the list of softwares making part of a standard LAMP system installation on all2all dedicated servers:

Other softwares can of course be installed as complement (ask for a quotation ). For users with particulary high requirements, all2all is proposing a special installation packet with personnalized setup, components hardening and online audit.

<<VideoLAN   3%

VideoLAN is a project that develops software for playing video and other media formats. Originally comprising of two programs — VideoLAN Client (VLC) and VideoLAN Server (VLS), the two have now been incorporated into the VideoLAN Client, which is now known as VLC media player. The project began as a student endeavour at École Centrale Paris (France), but after releasing the software under the free software/ open source GNU General Public License, the project is now multinational with a development team spanning 20 nations. The project also develops several audio/video decoding and decryption libraries for various type of media standards such as CSS protected DVDs, MPEG-4, DTS audio... (see : http://www.videolan.org/ ).

<<World Wide Web   3%

The World Wide Web (or the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks. The Web was created around 1990 by the Englishman Tim Berners-Lee and the Belgian Robert Cailliau working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Since then, Berners-Lee has played an active role in guiding the development of Web standards (such as the markup languages in which Web pages are composed), and in recent years has advocated his vision of a Semantic Web. The Web is only one application of the Internet amongst others, like emailing, instant messaging, Usenet, etc.

<<XHTML   3%

The Extensible HyperText Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML , but also conforms to XML syntax. Whereas HTML is an application of SGML, a very flexible markup language, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because they need to be well-formed, true XHTML documents allow for automated processing to be performed using standard XML tools—unlike HTML, which requires a relatively complex, lenient, and generally custom parser. XHTML can be thought of as the intersection of HTML and XML in many respects, since it is a reformulation of HTML in XML. XHTML 1.1 became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation on May 31, 2001.

<<XML   3%

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a W3C -recommended general-purpose markup language. XML is considered "general-purpose" because it enables anyone to originate and use a markup language for many types of applications and problem domains. Numerous formally defined markup languages are based on XML, such as RSS , XHTML , SVG, XSLT and thousands of others. Specific to XML is the use of angle-brackets to identify data and metadata (elements and attributes). By leaving the names, allowable hierarchy, and meanings of the elements and attributes open and definable by a customizable schema, XML provides a syntactic foundation for the creation of custom, XML-based markup languages. In this way, XML contrasts with HTML, which has an inflexible, single-purpose vocabulary of elements and attributes that, in general, cannot be repurposed. XML is an open, fee-free standard.
