PHP
Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a popular general-purpose server side scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML pages. It works particularly well when used for database driven applications using MySQL. Many popular CMS systems, such as Drupal, Mambo and PHP-Nuke are based on MySQL and PHP.

CGI and Perl
Perl is a high-level programming interpreted language originating fromLarry Wall. It derives from C and to a lesser extent from sed, awk, the Unix shell. Perl's process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming. A CGI script is a program written in Perl that is stored on the remote web server and executed on the web server in response to a request from a user.

What is DNS
DNS is short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 123.100.321.1.

How do I upload my site online
This depends on what your web host offers. The most common way to upload file(s) is to use FTP. FTP is a protocol like HTTP. HTTP only lets you download files (it is what the web uses). FTP lets you download and upload files. Popular FTP clients include WS_FTP and BulletProof FTP. The web host you use will give you the necessary information you need to connect to their servers using FTP.
