A whois database is maintained by a domain registry which contains pertinent information about domain names and their registrants (technical contacts, expiration date, etc.) Whois is also a tool used for accessing the various databases. Registrars offer the use of the whois tool to see if the name you would like is still available.

Ethernet: Also known as CSMA/CD, it is a networking technology which relies upon collision detection to back off from simultaneous transmission. Operating at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), it is the single most commonly deployed networking technology in the LAN, and the primary one used in UCInet LANs. Ethernet is a layer-2 technology.

NGN (Next Generation Network): In the traditional architecture of modern telephone networks, voice and data transmissions are routed via different technical platforms. The aim of a next generation network is to combine both functions to provide integrated voice-data services. NGNs are based entirely on IP technology..

DNS: Domain Name System, or by extension, Domain Name Services.
