Frames
Frames are a technique used in web pages to divide the page into multiple windows, where each window is called a frame and can contain its own separate page. The advantage of frames is that one window can be scrolled or changed while other windows remain fixed for such purposes as keeping a menu in view all the time. The disadvantage is that not all browsers support them.

Free Hosting
A hosting plan which is provided at no cost to the user in exchange for allowing the host to run ad banners or pop-up ads on your web pages. Some free hosting plans do not use ads, but require you to pay an up-front one time fee, or purchase a domain name.

FTP - File Transfer Protocol
After bulding your web site on your home computer, you must upload the data to your web hosting server. Generally this is done with a program called FTP. Microsoft Front Page can be uploaded without FTP if it is supported by your host.

Fully-qualified Domain Name
A fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is that portion of an Internet Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that fully identifies the server program that an Internet request is addressed to. The FQDN includes the top-level domain name, the second-level domain name and any other levels. An FQDN should be sufficient to determine a unique Internet address for any host on the Internet. The prefix "http://" added to the fully-qualified domain name completes the URL.
