Viral marketing - A clever form of marketing in which the user is actually promoting the company that provides a service. Here's an example of how it works: When you send an e-card to someone, he or she has to go to a particular Web site to look at it. This makes you, the e-card sender, a marketer for that company, because you are suggesting that other people should go to this site and use this service. Furthermore, each recipient of an e-card becomes a potential marketer for the company, just as the initial sender is. So, viral marketing is like a virus that spreads. It's a variation on "word of mouth," a coveted form of marketing that can spread at record speed.
Virtual hosting - Virtual hosting is affordable for individual people's Web sites (vanity pages) and small businesses because this technology allows many sites to share the same server (there could be hundreds or thousands of them). The important thing is that no one else has access to your directories. However, unlike dedicated hosting, virtual hosting tends to have more traffic (from the co-located sites) and therefore less bandwidth per site and slower downloads.
