| How many e-mail transactions occur each day? How many people have Personal Web pages? How many people use Penn State dial-up services? The table below provides an at-a-glance view for ASET's wide-range of services. For project details, refer to the New, Improved, and Continued Services and/or the Project/Initiative Hightlights sections of this report. |

| Virtual Hosts A virtual host is a computer which can be setup to respond to multiple IP addresses and provide various services, typically different Web services, on each. Each IP address, which usually has its own hostname, operates as if it is a separate host on a separate machine, although it is really the same host. For example, a Penn State department can choose to have departmental Web space at http://www.psu.edu/some_dept/ and request the virtual host http://www.some_dept.psu.edu/. Requests for virtual hosts are sent and billed through Entrepreneurial Services in CSS and ASET sets up the virtual host. |
