• DNS An acronym for “Domain Name System”. The DNS protocol creates what amounts to a distributed telephone book for computer networks; however, instead of associating human names like “John Q. Public” with telephone numbers (for example, 617-555-1212), DNS allows computer networks to associate domain names (for example, mail.yahoo.com) with IP addresses (for example, 192.168.1.5). Within Alfresco, the DNS Name you provide when creating a new web project is used to create a separate virtual website for each virtualized webapp. • Website Everything reachable via the web at a given a protocol/hostname/port.
