|4||Internet, mobile app, World Wide Web; web browser, URL, web search engine; website, landing page; DNS, hostname, subdomain |}

Internet. The largest network of interconnected computing devices that use the Internet protocol suite, TCP/IP, to link the devices globally.

• Mobile app (mobile application or, simply, an app) is an end-user application that is designed to run on a mobile device. Mobile apps often stand in contrast to web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device. Mobile apps often refer those applications as web versions.
• World Wide Web (WWW, www). The part of the Internet that contains inter-linked hypertext documents, especially webpages, and web applications. The web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and accessible via the web browsers. The other parts of the Internet include email, VoIP telephony, and file exchange.

Web browser. Any end-user application that allows for browsing web documents published at the World Wide Web. To request the Browser display some website, a user enters into the Browser the website's hostname. Then, the Browser utilizes DNS to locate the sought website in the World Wide Web and to get its landing page's web document in order to display this webpage in the Browser.

• URL. The acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. A reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. URLs consist of two mandatory fields, (a) type of resource such as https for webpages, ftps for file transfers, mailto for emails, etc., and (b) hostname, as well as of optional (c) one or more submomains and (d) a file name, if any.
• Web search engine (Internet search engine). A software system that is designed to search the World Wide Web for particular information specified in a textual web search query.

Website. A collection of webpages that are located at the same hostname.

• Landing page. A single webpage that welcomes a visitor to the website to which the Page belongs. The Page casually returns in response to user's clicking on a search result delivered by a web search engine, marketing promotion, marketing email, or an online advertisement, as well as typing the website's hostname into web browser's address bar.

DNS. The acronym for Domain Name System. Originally created for name mapping, DNS today also defines technical settings for its core mapping service. In addition, DNS is used to set up functionality for the emails using DNS record such as MX and TXT records.

• Hostname (domain name). A humanly readable label or alias that is assigned to a particular IP address or another identification for a host device that is a part of the Internet or another computing network.
• Subdomain (local hostname). In the DNS, a domain that is a part of another domain.

CNM Cyber Hostname

CNM Cyber Hostname is the first lectio out of five ones that make up the Lesson.

Lectio 1 presentation

Until CNM Cyber's mobile app is developed, every user of CNM Cyber must use a web browser such as Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or any other, to access this platform.

In the World Wide Web, CNM Cyber is temporarily located at the FriendsOfCNM.org hostname. Friends Of CNM is an alias name of a commercial company that sponsors CNM Cyber.

This company covers all the expenses associated with CNM Cyber, employs its staffers, and, generally speaking, executes the requirements of CNM Cyber Team. Accordingly, CNM Cyber Team is a team of volunteers of the Career Network Ministry, which is alternatively known by its acronym CNM. CNM is a non-profit group that the Friends Of CNM supports.

CNM Cyber Subdomains

CNM Cyber Subdomains is the first lectio out of five ones that make up the Lesson.

Lectio 2 presentation

Various systems of CNM Cyber are available at subdomains such as cabin.friendsofcnm.org for CNM Cabin, cert.friendsofcnm.org for CNM Cert, social.friendsofcnm.org for CNM Social, tube.friendsofcnm.org for CNM Tube, or wiki.friendsofcnm.org for CNM Wiki.

Next Apps, which are those versions of CNM Cyber systems that are installed on the CNM Next Server, feature the .next. field added to their hostnames such as cert.next.friendsofcnm.org, social.next.friendsofcnm.org, tube.next.friendsofcnm.org, or wiki.next.friendsofcnm.org.

Future of CNM Cyber DNS

Future of CNM Cyber DNS is the first lectio out of five ones that make up the Lesson.

Lectio 3 presentation

DNS stands for Domain Name System; it describes a system of hostnames, subdomains, etc. Similarly to whole CNM Cyber, its DNS is a living endeavor as well.

Draft of CNMCyber.com landing

For instance, CNM Cabin is temporarily located at opplet.net, not at its "right" subdomain. Moreover, the Friends Of CNM reserved a separate hostname, CNMCyber.com, for CNM Cyber. One day, CNM Cyber shall be found on the World Wide Web under its own hostname. When it happens, FriendsOfCNM.org and CNMCyber.com will share the same subdomains.

Going further, some landing pages should emerge at all the hostnames of CNM Cyber in order to help its visitors to navigate various services of CNM Cyber.
