 Network types

MGU provides solutions for all types of networks. Understanding the varying system features will help you in selecting the network that best suits your needs.

Personal Area Network (PAN)

PAN is the smallest of the network types. This network consists of an individual’s computer and any connecting devices, such as printers, PDAs or iPods.

Local Area Network (LAN)

This is the most common type of network solution. It connects you to multiple computers in your home or work via cable or wireless connections.

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

MANs usually connect LAN and WAN in a metropolitan area and do not extend past a city or town’s geographic boundaries. This type of network is generally open to the public.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

This network type is a step higher then MAN networks. They cross city and national borders with the use of routers. WAN networks are not open to the public like MAN networks.

Peer-to-Peer Network

This type of network gives all of the computers on the network equal importance. Each computer contains all of the software and data used throughout the network, and each user has complete access. This type of network is generally found in small businesses.

Campus Area Network (CAN)

This network solution is used on university campuses, where networks in multiple buildings need to be connected. CANs are also used in industrial businesses, where offices are in multiple buildings, such as an industrial business park.

Intranet/Extranet

Intranet is a network run by a company that is used by employees to communicate internally. An extranet network is designed for internal company use and allows access to clients and vendors in the outside world.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

VPNs allow users to access the Internet within private business networks. This network operates using a secure link and is generally used by remote business workers.

Client/Server Network

This network holds information in a central location (the server), while allowing access from other computers connected to the server. Computers connected can access and save files to the server. This type of network is used in many businesses. A primary benefit is all data is located in a central location, making it easier to back up and locate information.

Global Area Network (GAN)

Providing global coverage, GAN is the largest network solution. It is composed of different networks connected together, providing an unlimited geographical coverage area. This network uses a variety of technology to maintain network communication, including satellite.

Email as part of our Hosting Service

As part of our hosting service you get unlimited email addresses at your domain name. Our mail accounts are compatible with all main email software programs such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and MacMail etc. In addition if you are traveling or simply prefer to view your emails using an internet browser our mail offers the facility to do this and more. As part of our service we provide virus protection and spam defense.

Email Only Hosting

If you would like to use your domain name for email, but do not require a full hosting service, then our “Email only hosting” is the choice for you. The email only hosting provides you with 5 mail accounts all of which come with virus protection and spam defense. In addition to the email accounts, the email only hosting allows you to redirect your domain name to another URL or customize the parking page. As with the full hosting service you can access your email by using an email software program or on the internet.

SMTP Mail

With SMTP mail, you handle your own email service on your in-house server. The MX records (mail records) for your domain are simply pointed to the static IP of your server and your email is directed straight to the server. This means there is no need to log on to Local Domain servers to collect your email, and similarly when sending, you can relay out directly from your server.

When using your own server for email, Local Domains can provide you with a backup email server. This ensures that if your own server is offline for any reason, or if your internet connection fails, we simply collect your mail for you. When your server is back online, email is automatically forwarded back to you. For troubleshooting major issues in exchange Click Here
