Ajax
Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a method of building interactive applications for the Web that process user requests immediately. Ajax combines several programming tools including JavaScript, dynamic HTML (DHTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), cascading style sheets (CSS), the Document Object Model (DOM), and the Microsoft object, XMLHttpRequest. Ajax allows content on Web pages to update immediately when a user performs an action, unlike an HTTP request, during which users must wait for a whole new page to load. For example, a weather forecasting site could display local conditions on one side of the page without delay after a user types in a zip code.

ASP
An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTML page that includes one or more scripts (small embedded programs) that are processed on a Microsoft Web server before the page is sent to the user. An ASP is somewhat similar to a server-side include or a common gateway interface (CGI) application in that all involve programs that run on the server, usually tailoring a page for the user. Typically, the script in the Web page at the server uses input received as the result of the user's request for the page to access data from a database and then builds or customizes the page on the fly before sending it to the requestor.

AUP
AUP stands for Acceptable Use Policy. This document outlines the correct and incorrect uses for whatever service you're purchase. For example, in hosting terms, the AUP might outline and define a hosting company's definition of the word "unlimited". Since you can't purchase an unlimited GB harddrive, the AUP normally specifies the maximum you can use. Since you normally have to agree to the AUP before ordering, you acknowledge that you agree with and will follow the company's rules (i.e. if they advertise "unlimited disk space" but in the AUP, they define "unlimited" as 1GB, you agree that you have a 1GB max).

Auto-responder
Auto-responders allow you to automatically return a pre-set message whenever a selected mailbox receives a message. It is often used to confirm receipt of orders when items are purchased over the Internet, or to alert a sender when the recipient of an email message is out of town. Auto-responder will also notify a selected mailbox of the receipt and response.
