How to determine client base....?

There are several things that you can do to check this out and verify what you think that you are learning:\n\n* First and easiest, are there any competitors near by?  If so, go to those stores and just ask some questions.  They may be curious about why you are asking such questions, so you can tell them that you are working on a class project or something.  You are NOT asking them to compete with them, but for information about the industry.\n\n* Check the Internet to see if there is a "Retailers Association" in your state (most states do have one or more).  Contact those groups and ask them.  They will have contact information that you can look into.\n\n* Go to the local library and find a set of books called the "Encyclopedia of Associations' - this is usually found in the reference section (the web version costs money).  Look up any name or contact information in the first book (i.e. clothing retail, small business, clothing store, etc.).  There will be some code numbers that you can then look up in the other two books.  This will give you contact information for many specialized groups around the country who will also have information that you are looking for.\n\n* Another things to do in starting to learn this field - as you go around to other stores in the area, write down what clothing lines they are carrying.  This will help you identify what is currently how and possible lead you to identify where things are coming from.  You should also search out who are the major (or even minor) clothing distribution centers.  They will also have some information for you and you might even find a new source of clothing for your targeted specialty store that you want to talk with.\n\n** Things to consider:\n - based on what other stores are carrying, you will get an idea of what is currently selling in your area\n - look for information on demographics in your area, this will give you information about income levels, education levels, possible religion preferences, etc which all go into the buying habits of individuals and groups of people\n - maybe take a psychology class from a local college, this will help understand why people buy what they buy\n - how large are the local high schools in the area, depending on the type of specialty shop you are looking at, who would be the type of people that would buy from this store.  The real question that you should ask yourself before you interview there would be ‘How can we position this store to attract even the people who do not typically purchase here?”  Example: if this specialty store is targeted to teens and early twenties – then what could you do to attract the parents of these potential buyers to come into the store and say buy gift cards for their kids?\n - Sit outside the store as much as you can (especially at different times of the day) and watch people as they pass the store to see who goes in.  This will give you a tremendous advantage even over the store manager as you can actually track the people who are going in versus the same type of person who may be passing by but not stopping.  If this is happening, then ask yourself why they are going by.  If this store is in a mall of some sort, you might even consider approaching the perceived target clients who pass by why they did not stop to look or what would it take to at least go into the store to look around.  This would be tremendous marketing analysis information for this specialty store.\n\n\nHopefully you are getting the idea.  There is any number of other things that you could do from reading books on marketing to actually talking with as many potential buyers as you can to see what people think.  If the store is not in a major mall in your area, you could even go to that mall and walk around asking people what they are looking for in what the specialty shop you are look at is offering.\n\nGood Luck.

I suggest www.netfirms.com . They offer all the tools you'll need, and they are very cheap, about 10 bucks a month. Very good service, and no downtime. They offer web authering tools, shopping carts, data bases, and plenty of webspace. I've used them for 5 years, and I've never had any problems.

If you are using windows xp, then double-click on the connection icon in the system tray (with two computers), In the "*Connection_name* Status" window, in the details tab, see for client IP address and that will be your ip address.\n\nElse, you can also use http://www.ipaddressworld.com or http://www.whatismyip.com to determine your IP address

Good Question. I doubt we'll know unless someone who works there tells us, but here are some specs on the server farm at Google.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_platform\n\nPretty impressive stuff.

You can use Ethereal to capture the packets from just before the game starts up to a bit into the game.  Then look at the capture.  It'll tell you what is running on what port, the protocols, etc.

Your question is pretty open-ended... And you got so many questions here! :)\n\nClassification of database server... There are usually four classes that I see: desktop, multi-user, client-server, cluster-server. Those may not be the formal terms used in the industry, BTW. As I did not read YOUR text, I may have a different system of classification than your text, so... caveat emptor! :)\n\ndesktop -- your typical single user database, Access, Paradox, Filemaker, etc. \n\nMulti-user -- most of these programs will also work with multiple users when installed and configured on a network. \n\nClient-server -- A dedicated server program, that talks to SQL clients over a network. Examples are MS SQL Server, Oracle 9i, and so on. \n\nCluster-Server -- a database server that runs on a GROUP of servers (i.e. a cluster) \n\nWhere are they used? Anywhere there is data! Accounting system has a database system as its foundation. All Customer Relations Management (CRM) software are basically databases. A mailing list is a database, so is an addressbook, a phonelist, and so on. Most websites (such as this Yahoo Answers site) that requires interaction has a database backend where answers and questions and user data are stored. \n\nCommunication between the client and the server: there is no "standard" per se for those communications. Microsoft tried to impose a standard way back when, and with a little help from third-party the standard, known as ODBC (open database connectivity) actually stuck. Basically it defined a set of SQL commands that a database must minimally support. In other cases, the communication between client and server is that database's proprietary information. \n\nAdvantages? A database basically makes finding something easier. Say you want to check who among your clients are in California, or more specifically, northern California, you can find out by tapping a few commands, instead of going through each and every client record. For a short list there wouldn't be much difference, but the longer the list, the bigger the time savings. When the entry is a few thousand lines long, it is no longer practical to do by hand, and just imagine the size of a database used by the IRS to keep track of your tax info! The more complicated databases can also handle permissions, giving some people ability to enter but not delete, others view only, and so on and so forth. \n\nDisadvantage? Database usually cost money, at least the commercial ones. And most have a proprietary format and special commands that require expertise to use. You will need someone to set it up, then populate the data, and you will need\nsomeone to administer it later. It is another layer of complexity and expense. A database server that works well demands hefty hardware. We're not talking $500 desktops here, but rather $10000 dedicated servers armed with dual or quad Xeons / Opterons and 5-7 disk RAID arrays, and we haven't counted the software itself yet!

There are databases that can be checked against to see where the IP address originates from.\n\nThey simply perform a check using the visiting IP address against these databases to get the location.

See if the name of the business has a website.  If it does, go to Network Solutions WhoIs, (linked below) and enter the domain name.  You'll see who registered and their contact information.\n\nEven if they don't have a website, chances are they registered the companies name for future development of a website.  Try entering the company name in the WhoIs field and see what it returns.  For example, AAACompany.com, AcmeProducts.com, etc.

In our website, we sell advertising space - both banners via CPM, sponsored text links, and newsletter advertising. In our experience, here are what advertisers are looking for when choosing sites to use for their advertising:\n\n1. Who are the visitors = It is important for advertisers to know whether your site's visitors are what they are after. More than just traffic numbers, they want to know whether they can get targeted traffic from your website. They want to know whether the customers they want are visiting your site.\n\n2. Traffic levels = Advertisers will often ask you how many visitors/pageviews/uniques you get in a month. Some will go to Alexa.com to check your traffic standing (not accurate, but many see it as a good guide). If you are selling banners through CPM rates for example, they will normally ask you how long it will take you to show the 20,000 ad impressions they ordered (or how many they ordered).\n\n3. Your rates = how comparable your rates are with others.\n\n4. Customer service = advertisers want QUICK support from sites they want to advertise on. You need to be quick to respond to their emails, whether inquiring for your media kit or asking your ad rates or checking the performance of their ad campaigns.The key to understand is that advertisers will always look for metrics to help them gauge the ROI they can get from advertising in your website. If they don't think your site will not give them a good ROI, they will not advertise or renew their advertising on your site\n\n5. Monitor campaign performance = advertisers want to see how their campaigns are doing on your site, so they can make decisions fairly quickly whether to change the creative, pause the campaign or increase the campaign. You need to be able to provide them with real time statistics. We use phpadsnew and it is just great (and FREE!).\n\nAs to what rate to charge, the amount depends on a number of factors:\n\n- Who is your audience and how desirable is your audience to the advertisers? If your audience are techies or those who have the propensity to purchase higher-ticket items, then you can charge a higher price as compared to an audience of students.\n\n- What is the rate of comparative websites in your niche? You don't want to overprice yourself out of the market yet you don't want to undercharge as well\n\n- What is the rate advertisers are willing to pay in your site? You may charge $5 per CPM and yet for months nobody's taking you on the rate even though you may get inquiries -- this implies that advertisers think your rate is too expensive. But if you charge $0.50 per CPM and advertisers are flooding in, then you may be too cheap and can afford to increase your rate.\n\n- What is the CPM you get from other advertising vehicles? Do you run Google Adsense, and if so, what is your effective CPM rate with them? Or if you run banner ads through ad networks like Burst Media, Valueclick or Tribal Fusion, what is the CPM you're getting? You can use those values to help you gauge your rate.\n\nSince you're just starting in the game, experiment and see what rate the market will bite. You can start at $1 per CPM and see how it goes.\n\nIn terms of accepting payment, majority (99.8%) of those who will advertise will pay by credit card so make sure you have your own merchant account as well as Paypal.

You can use software such as:\n\n1. Your own web log. Ask your webhost to give you access to your web log -- you'll see the IP address, what pages they are accessing and their source traffic in real time\n\n2. Use softwares such as\n\nHBX http://www.websidestory.com/\nGoogle Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ (free)\nWebTrends http://www.webtrends.com/

A good way to determine actually network throughput capabilities is to use a piece of software called iPerf. It will allow you to do real time network througput analysis with little effort. It does require two computers in order to function but it is commonly configured on a server and then a laptop than can be taken to a remote location for testing.
