What is Internet Provider?

Internet Provider is the company who allow us to be connected to the internet through our subscription to them. In Greece the most known companies are: OTE, Forthnet, HOL, Tellas, On Telecoms, Cyta and more. Through those companies and several Universities we can have access to world wide web.

Connection Speed

The connection speed we can achieve with the internet varies from subscription to subscription and from provider to provider. In Greece the current connections speeds we have are: ADSL2, ADSL,  ISDN and PSTN. All ADSL2 connections can speed up to 24MBps, ADSL up to 8MBps, ISDN up to 128KBps and finally PSTN as slow as 56KBps. As higher the speed is, the better we can experience today'sinternet will all the streaming videos and audio. In case your connection isn't as fast as supposed to be, you have to communicate with your internet provider's support to figure out what's the problem. In most of the cases the problems are focused to our cables, the connections we have inside the house/office, the DSLAM we're connected with and the provider itself.

Website Types

In an era where internet has evolved, there are many types of websites. Our company, as the most serious companies who develop websites, build these types of websites:

  • Dynamic websites
  • Flash websites
  • Hybrid websites (dynamic with flash parts and the opposite)
  • Online Communities and Social Networks (website forums or websites with social networking abilities like Facebook)
  • E-Commerce websites (big portals or online shops-estores)
  • Blogs (the trend ofthe personal contact through articles in a personal page)
  • Online Galleries (dynamic with photos or videos or both)
  • Mini Websites (small web pages who created for the promotion of a product or a campaign)
  • Static Websites (usually as simple as a professional card or a flyer)
The posibilities for the development of a website today are countless. With a good investigation of the market you'll see that developing a website, corporate or not, personal or not, immediately you'll have the door to the world wide web, open. In Greece year to year we see big improovements on e-business and the owners of those websites who tried to build and expand their companies, see profits from this act.

E-Mail Advises

Almost every person in the western world today has at least one e-mail account. This makes the communication with anyone in the world, more immediate, more quick and direct. 
There are times on the other hand, that in our inbox we see incoming messages from unknown persons who they attend to harm us in case we don't know how to protect ourselves and our personal data. The advise we give as a company is:

  1. Never use software installed in your computer to send and receive e-mails if this isn't updated with the latest technologies on filtering messages and with the cooperation of an antivirus program to protect you and your data.
  2. Always update your antivirus program, so will be able to recognise the latest threads who somebody may sent you to achieve his target.
  3. It's good that you use online applications such are GMail, HotMail/MSN, Yahoo! and others. That way nothing is downloaded to your computer unless you press the "doanload"button. Thos companies have the most advanced filters that recognise spams, trojans, viruses etc.
  4. Never give your personal username/password to anyone! Somebody may steal your identity and use it against you and those who are in your address book. This can also harm your files and your saved messages.
  5. It's good not to use old software to send/receive mesages as is Outlook Express 6 or older. Prefer something more reliable, secure and modern as is Mozilla Thurnderbird. Same goes for the browsers, instead of using Internet Explorer, better use Mozilla Firefoz, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera. This way you'll see all modern websites the way they was designed to work, fast and reliable.
